This week, these cookies once again play on my obsession with British baking. (Funnily enough, the measurements are wholly American.) More importantly, these cookies stem from my obsession with the Great British Bake Off (& the SortedFood YouTube channel–every time they make or mention sticky toffee pudding I just want to hit the kitchen and …

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn Cookies
Do you ever have foods that bring about certain memories? Maybe it’s that apple pie your mom makes a day or two after apple picking in the fall, that chocolate cake you eat every year for your birthday, or even that bag of Cheetos or mediocre pizza you share with a friend after a night …
Snickers Cookies
This might be one of my more involved cookie recipes, but it may also be one of the best things I have ever baked. Filled with the flavor of peanut butter nougat (recipe linked below), these taste exactly like a Snickers bar & it’s just about impossible to keep your hands off of them! When …
White Russian Sandwich Cookies
It’s no secret that I am a huge theatre fan. Naturally, I look forward to the Tony Awards in the way most people prepare for the Oscars. However, the 2017 Tony’s were filled with the most anticipation. Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 was nominated for 12 awards–it was something I knew was …
Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Sometimes, the simplest things are the best things out there. For example, my favorite type of chocolate is a nice square of anything above 60% dark with salt added to it. When added to something sweet, salt actually helps accentuate the sweetness; it does it with a depth that simply adding more sugar can never …
Nanaimo Bar Cookies
One of my friends from college is from Canada. Our sophomore year, she introduced our suite to these amazing little treats that her mom sent her: Nanaimo bars. I’m pretty sure she regretted letting us know that she had them, because these are really the kind of dessert you want to keep all for yourself. …
Chocolate, Cherry, and Almond Cookies
The World Cup is in full swing, and I think the biggest surprise has been how little time I’ve actually had to watch it this year. Now, let me put this out there–for me, the World Cup is essentially my Olympics. I look forward to it every four years. Who can resist a full day …
Chocolate Coconut Digestive Biscuits
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 …
Maple Bacon Cookies
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 …
S’mores Cookies
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 …
