Have Yourself a Boozy Little Xmas: Whiskey & Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies
I cannot remember the last time I made chocolate chip cookies. I seriously have no idea. I’ve been so consumed with learning advanced pastry skills over the past several years that I have rarely stopped to revisit that all-time icon of home baking. For shame! Sometimes you need to throw back to a simpler time when cookies solved all of […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Whipped Shortbread
Butter. Oh, butter… How I love you so. I mean, I know this goes without saying, but I can’t imagine life without the rich, magical deliciousness of butter. There is some pretty f*cked up stuff going on in the world right now, and it distresses me to no end when I think about where we are heading… […]
The Polar Espresso: Stumptown Shorties
I feel like an Ovenly fan-girl– I just can’t say enough about their magical little cookbook. Every recipe I’ve tried (here and here, plus Eggnog Sandwich Cookies) has been terrific; not since BAKED have I crushed so hard on a particular bakery’s treats. Brooklyn bakeries have captured my heart! One of the best things I had when I visited the […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Gingersnaps with Lemon Sugar
We are a couple of weeks into 2015 now, and I, for one, have so far failed miserably at my goal of eating less sugar. I try not to set “resolutions” per se, because we all know how that goes, but I did go into the year with the very real intention of getting back to […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Candy Bar Cookies
Holy cookies, Batman. I’ve been out of commission after (another) ankle surgery for the past two weeks, and I was so happy to be back on my feet this week. I was able to bake ahead for the last couple of Baked Sundays Mornings recipes, so that I didn’t have to miss any blog posts, but I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies
This is my 100th blog post for Stellina Sweets, which is just about to turn 2 years old! Truth be told, I was a little disappointed that this recipe would be my “epic” 100th post– I am not a peppermint person, so I was not especially excited for this one, although the alleged chocolate decadence was […]
No Campfire Required: Salted S’mores Cookies
Gooey, toasty marshmallow… rich, melty chocolate… crunchy, sweet graham crackers… That’s right– s’mores are not just for camping, people. I go camping at most once a year, but obviously I need s’mores in my life much more frequently to maintain a base level of sanity. (Anyone else with me on that??) I happily look for […]
