The millennial bible for everything baking and cooking
I wanted to cap by 2021 Royal Icing Cookie journey with these standing snowglobe cookies. The WOW factor for these cookies is that they stand up! I made a regular decorated cookie then propped the design up with a triangle piece of cookie to keep it upright like a real snowglobe. Consistencies and colors: Flood …
Low on ingredients, but craving cookies? Or looking for a way to use up some condensed milk? This chocolate chip cookie recipe is only 5 ingredients (aside from the baking powder and salt)! No eggs or fresh milk and it gains its substance from sweetened condensed milk, which you probably have an extra can of …
These Barstool Cookies I made as my individual project in the cookie section of Christina Tosi’s Milkbar class. Taking the principles we learned from the class we were instructed to create a recipe of our own to reflect a point in time. I wanted to make a cookie that is a complimentary late night snack …
Gingerbread Cookies are probably THE classic Christmas cookie. Dating back to the 16th century these cookies have been widely popular in Europe for a while now. And it seems like every culture has adopted a variation of this cookie. Which is a testament to how iconic these cookies are. Its common that now a days …
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of those recipes where they aren’t fancy, but they are unique enough that they are a hit at parties. Especially at Christmas the allure of a green cookie gets the best of everyone’s curiosity. For this recipe I use the classic Andes Mints which are a thin layer of …
The coconut macaroon is a harmonious cookies prominently featured at the big two December holidays: Christmas and Hanukkah. I love making Coconut Macaroons cause they are soo easy to make. With only 5 ingredients (6 if you choose to coat the bottoms with chocolate), this recipe is sooo simple. And its also naturally gluten free, …
Peanut Butter Blossoms is a holiday classic. This recipe has been made for generations and generations. And I’m not one to break tradition. So I’m honoring the classic recipe below. What I love about this recipe is first and foremost the peanut butter cookie, secondly the melted chocolate kiss on top. And lastly, the left …
“Top of the Muffin to you”! As Seinfeld said it best, the best part of a muffin is the top. So lets skip to the chase here. These baked goods are cake-like and moist inside, making them the perfect consistency for a muffin top. And best of all, no wasted muffin stumps! I used a can …
These cookies are made with a cookie press. I never used a cookie press before but now that I have, I can’t wait to make this recipe for any and every occasion. The reason why it’s called spritz cookies is because it’s the German word for squirt as the dough “squirts” from the cookie press. …
This is by far my favorite cookie recipe. Cutout cookies aren’t necessarily my absolute favorite all the time, I love me a good chocolate chip, but this recipe is fool-proof. It comes out perfect every time, it can be adapted, and it’s always wowed my friends and family. I’ve been making these classic cream cheese …
I like these cookies because they are quick, easy and uncomplicated. With only 4 ingredients this recipe is a breeze and it makes you wonder why all other cookies recipes require any more ingredients. The jelly sets them apart from any other cookie on the cookie tray. Traditionally they are made with sour cream (as …
For Christmas I have a few “classics” in my repertoire. This is one of them. What I like about these cookies is that they are chewy and soft, without being too sickly sweet, which is surprising for a cookie. Its dangerous how much you can eat because of this. I also love how the spices …
These are one of my favorite Christmas cookies to make and eat (even though I’m not suppose to). They are chocolate, with a secret burst of cherry which adds as a refreshing pick me up. The frosting is a 3 ingredient wonder that reminds me of homemade truffles. These are the first Christmas cookies that …
I grew up in upstate New York, close to the Canadian border. We had long, cold, extremely snowy winters. Some of my best memories were during those snowy winter weekends when I’d make blueberry waffles with my mom. Of course those waffles would be smothered in maple syrup. Now, if you’re not from upstate New …
It’s fall and naturally it’s pumpkin spice season. I’ve been going crazy with pumpkin recipes and that means I was bound to run out of actual pumpkin. I also wanted to do a batch of fun, cute fall cutouts. Cutouts are great, but it’s usually more for the look than the taste. To get in …
Continuing in the halloween holiday spirit I wanted to make some spooky green cutouts. Of course they couldn’t be just regular cutouts dyed green, I wanted to get some flavor in them. Trying another adaptation of my classic cream cheese cutouts recipe I opted to add in some matcha to get that green color and …
Happy Halloween! I love fall and Halloween. I think it’s because I have great childhood memories driving though farm country in upstate New York. We’d buy fresh fall produce from the farm stands and make the annual trip to Kights giant pumpkin patch to pick out our giant pumpkin. By giant I mean giant, 30+ …
Cookies and Cream is one of the best dessert combinations ever. So its only natural that we turn this classic combination into a cupcake. I tend to make cupcakes as opposed to cake because its easier to portion out based on number of people. Additionally it doesn’t carry the guilt of taking too big of …
Its summer and there is nothing more summer-y and refreshing than lemon cookies made with cool whip! This is an easy recipe using box cake mix as a quick shortcut. Cause if you are like me, you want to be outside as much as you can and measuring ingredients will only slow you down. Just …
I was looking for a recipe to jazz up my boring morning oatmeal when I came across this recipe that only called for banana, oatmeal and chocolate chips. What could be easier! Although I did cheat and add in some raisins on my second attempt so technically there is 4 ingredients. But I argue that …
When I was making the Marshmallow icing for the S’mores Cupcakes, I had a lot of left over Meringue. Everyone that knows me knows I hate wasting food. Instead of throwing out perfectly good meringue that I worked so hard to get correct. I decided to make Classic Meringue cookies. The difficult part of making …
I’m a big fan of lemon flavored anything and I also love coconut. So why not combine the two for the perfect spring dessert! That’s where these cookies originated from. I wanted something that felt like spring. To make these cookies look like spring I chose to use a daisy shaped cookie cutter and place …
