I’ve definitely talked about this before, but I think the most underrated flavor combination is chocolate orange. I simply cannot get enough of it. And I’ll eat it in any form: bars, brownies, cake, cookies… and now ice cream! And especially in the world of Christmas flavors, I think it does not get enough attention. Chocolate…
Homemade Lebkuchen
It’s funny to put “Homemade” in the title of this post, as if anything on this blog wasn’t going to be. But the qualifier feels necessary here, because Lebkuchen is something that I never think of as homemade! Lebkuchen around the holidays is a family tradition, and in the past we’ve gotten it from Germany….
Peppermint and Chocolate Candy
When I was a kid, I got a book for a birthday or Christmas called 365 Things to Make and Do. And while I only made or did a few of the 365 things, this book lives pretty “rent free” in my head, as the kids say. Most of the crafts and activities were not…
Smash Orange Shortbread
Last year, I made some brown butter cookies using Orange Daim bars that I found at IKEA. My mom declared them some of the best cookies she’s ever had. I couldn’t find those same orange Daim bars this year, but I knew I had to make something chocolate orange again, in an effort to make…
Hot Chocolate Cookies
In my sophomore year of high school, I decided to really embrace my brother’s advice about high school, which was: none of it matters! Me following that advice took a lot of forms over the last three years of high school, and I have plenty of stories about it. The only update I would give…
Puppy Chow (White Chocolate Chex Mix) Cookies
We have some family friends who we saw multiple times a year growing up, and we would always get together with around the holidays. And they would always give us puppy chow. It was something we all looked forward to when we saw them, and we would enjoy having it in a bag on our…
Milk Bar’s Thanksgiving Croissants
I enjoyed working at Milk Bar for a lot of reasons, but a big reason was that I got to take a lot of the baked goods home. Lots of ice cream being drained out at the end of the night, lots of cookies, a few cake slices. But the best of them all were…
Gingerbread Latte Cookies
I’ve never been a massive fan of gingerbread cookies, for two main reasons. 1) Most of them, like classic gingerbread men, are crunchy. Who wants a crunchy cookie?! 2) I was raised on Lebkuchen, which are soft gingerbread cookies that taste more complex than the crunchy American kind. And they often have glaze or chocolate…
Mushroom and Leek Galette
When I had pie crust leftover this summer, I made this Rustic Tomato Tarte. So naturally when I had pie crust leftover from my Thanksgiving Apple Pie, I wanted to make another savory dish, but this time with fall flavors. For Thanksgiving, I also made this Winter Vegetable Crumble from Joy the Baker that never…
Chai Scones
I recently made Taylor Swift’s Chai Cookies, and they did not disappoint. However, those cookies have been made and posted approximately one million times on the internet. So I wanted to do something a bit more original with them. I think there’s a ton of different riffs you could do with the cookies (different teas,…
