For my final cookie of this 12 day baking extravaganza, I made one of Eric’s favorites. Eric loves snickerdoodles, and I was a total snickerdoodle hater before we got married. Then I found this recipe, added some toffee chips, and fell in love with the cookie. For snickerdoodle purists, these are also really good without…
brown butter bourbon spice cookies.
These cookies are all about our old Kentucky home. Kentucky is pretty proud of its bourbon. And since moving to Oregon, I think we’ve thrown bourbon into more foods than we ever did back home. So far, whiskey cinnamon rolls are still my favorite bourbon-infused treat, but these cookies were pretty delicious too. I made…
blueberry oat bars.
Let’s talk about jam. Jam, jelly, preserves, whatever. Jam is the foundation of mine and Becca’s friendship. (For those of you who haven’t been following along, Becca and I are currently engaged in a very exciting 12 days of cookies baking extravaganza.) You see, when we met working at a summer camp near Seattle way…
monster cookies.
If my college experience could be wrapped up in one food, it would be this cookie. This was the cookie that I believe allowed my college roommates to grant me pardon when my art projects took over the living room (because yes, I was, at one point, a lousy, untalented art major), when I insisted…
peanut butter buckeye pretzels.
Okay, so today’s cookies were awesome. And probably not good for those of us who lack self-control when it comes to chocolate and peanut butter. It’s been about 24 hours since I made these, and I’ve consumed at least 10. Part of that was stress eating. You see, we’ve been watching Chuck on Netflix. I…
coffee toffee thumbprint cookies.
It’s that time of year again, folks. Cookie time. Each year, my pal Becca and I bake up 12 different cookies in celebration of the holiday season. We started doing this several years ago alongside the Food Network’s 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, but after discovering that we had no interest in baking a lot…
cashew coffee biscotti.
This is my final cookie of the year. I’ll finally put away the cookie sheets, the flours, the sugars. And I’ll finally stop eating a cookie after every meal. Today’s cookie may have been my favorite of the whole bunch. These were perfect to have around during Eric’s finals week, as they pair perfectly with…
fancy schmancy s’mores.
So, it was bound to happen. With 6 different cookies, something had to go terribly wrong with at least one. And that was today. I guess I should’ve known better than to get a cookie recipe from Food & Wine. After all, their photo of the finished product showcased the cookies next to a glass…
grandad danner’s favorite peanut butter cookies.
I’m pretty sure my body is about 50% peanut butter, 30% coffee, and 20% apples. As I mentioned in my first day of cookie madness, when I was selecting recipes for 6 different cookies, I found myself pinning every recipe involving peanut butter. Since moving to Oregon, I think I’ve eaten more peanut butter than…
no-bake stuffed cookie dough bites.
I remember doing a project on Australia when I was in middle school. I think middle school might be the time when you start realizing that there’s a world outside of your own little bubble, and that maybe people do different things outside of your tri-county area. And while I’m pretty sure that I always…
jamwiches.
Welcome to another day of cookies! Since my first day of cookies involved peanut butter, it’s only appropriate that today’s cookie involves jelly. Marionberry jelly, in this case. For those of you who aren’t privileged to dine on this delectable west coast treat, marionberry jam is the best jam in all the land. I first…
salted dark chocolate and peanut butter cookies.
It’s that time of year again, folks! Each year, my dear friend, Becca, and I tackle the Food Network’s 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, baking at least 6 varieties each. Sometimes this turned out awesome (thanks to any recipe from Paula Deen), and sometimes it was a huge disaster (I’m looking at you, Alton Brown)….
