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….
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…

Taylor Swift’s Chai Cookies
I have been meaning for years to make Taylor Swift’s famous Chai Sugar Cookies. For whatever reason, I just haven’t gotten around to it. But this fall, I was determined to make them. I had to do some research into how this became “Taylor Swift’s cookie recipe,” so let me debrief you on what I…
Apple Butter Bars with Maple Glaze
I think we, as a society, do not talk about apple butter enough. I’ve waxed poetic about peanut butter apple butter sandwiches before. And I plan to again, with another recipe soon. So I won’t talk about it too much now. Just know that apple butter is one of my favorite spreads. Still to this…
