I recently started a new job. Trying to adjust to my new schedule, while also keeping weekend shifts as a barista, means that I’ve had to squeeze in my baking at odd times of the night. I’m sure that I’ll get used to the schedule the more I work it, which means I’ll finally be …
Bacon. It’s so good that even Michael Scott was willing to injure himself just to wake up to the smell of it cooking. There’s a craze surrounding it. Literally. There is a full Wikipedia page out there about bacon mania. We dip it in chocolate, wrap it around the outside of sandwiches, and even make …
If you don’t know what a s’more is, I’m going to have to direct you to this video from the Sandlot. “Hey, you want a s’more?” Actually, even if you do know what a s’more is, I’m still going to need you to watch that video. The scene is a classic and gave us not …

First there were the Banoffee Cookies, then the Raspberry and Cream Shortbread, the Blueberry and Cream Cookies, and now there are these: Raspberry, Dark Chocolate, & Pistachio Cookies. This is one of those recipes …
Last week, I wrote about Momofuku Milk Bar and how Christina Tosi’s recipe for milk crumbs inspired the Raspberry and Cream Shortbread Cookies I posted. This week’s recipe follows along with the idea of berries and cream: Blueberries and Cream. It felt like a natural progression in my journey of developing new cookie recipes: I …
In my very first post, I expressed my love for Schmackary’s–a New York cookie shop that I absolutely fell in love with shortly after moving to the city. However, it wasn’t the only cookie place I became obsessed with. During a playwrights meeting at the theater, a few of the members were discussing their favorite …

Based off of the flavors of the British pie–these cookies marry the flavors of banana, toffee, dulce de leche, and a little bit of chocolate to create a bite that is absolutely unforgettable.
