Long-time readers of this blog (my family), may remember these Root Beer Float Cupcakes of 2013. They were memorable for a few reasons: my first time baking with root beer extract and finding out how good the combination was, and a big breakthrough moment of getting the photos accepted to the site Foodgawker (which was…
Extra Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Every few years (sometimes it feels like every year), a new “Greatest Ever Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!” is introduced. For a while, it was the NYT Chocolate Chip Cookie. Which, yes, is very good. Now, it appears to be the Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookie. Frankly, they’re all probably great. I’m not sure what we’re…
Buttermilk Sugar Cookies with Maple Frosting (AKA Pancake Cookies)
This year, I got buttermilk powder for Christmas! When I learned buttermilk powder existed, I immediately began thinking of its potential uses, namely as a substitute for regular milk powder in Milk Bar recipes. (I also immediately added it to my Christmas list, because novelty grocery items add up!) Milk Bar uses loads of milk…
Old Fashioned (Cocktail) Shortbread Cookies
I have beef with the NYT Cooking section. They are behind a paywall about 90% of the time. Just give me ads! I’m not paying you! There’s so much free baking information on the internet that if I can’t access one specific recipe, I’m going to figure it out myself. Which is what happened with…

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…
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…
