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…
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…
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…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies
You know what time it is. Another season, another iteration of the best cookies ever! This time, it’s pumpkin and cinnamon, with a Halloween flair for those so inclined. Looking back on the original post, it’s crazy that Molly made these cookies for the first time TEN YEARS ago, and she used fall sprinkles! Time,…
S’mores Cookies
The recipe for these S’mores Cookies has been marinating in my brain, mainly because these cookies from Target have been taunting me by the checkout every time I’ve been to Target this summer. They look like the iconic Lofthouse cookie, but s’mores flavored! What could be better. But I have restrained myself! I know that…
Strawberry Matcha Cookies
I’ll probably need to start a whole section of this blog devoted to variation on these cookies soon. This is now the fourth flavor variation I’ve made and I have no intention of stopping. Plain, Chocolate Peppermint, Lemon, and now Strawberry Matcha Cookies. It’s just the recipe that keeps on giving. There’s no better cookie….
Lemon Sugar Cookies for Easter
These Lemon Sugar Cookies are another riff on these Best Ever Frosted Sugar Cookies that Molly made in 2014. I waxed poetic on them again when I made them in Chocolate Peppermint for Christmas a few years ago. This is yet another riff on them – this time spring themed for Easter. Truly, I don’t…
Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
There’s a lot of reasons I could never be a professional food blogger. I think the most prevalent one is that I’m finally posting these Christmas cookies in mid-January. BUT, I think these Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are still seasonal enough. I made them for a Christmas party at work in mid-December, based off of a…
