Back in 2011, my friends and I stayed up all night to watch the Royal Wedding. We’d just come off a night out at the end of our senior year and probably all managed to fit in a two-hour nap in some of my friends’ house (otherwise known as Mildred). We gathered on the couch–and …
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there! I hope your kids are treating you right today and showing you the appreciation you deserve. My mom has been forced to eat these cookies all week–which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except for the fact that I somehow forgot the peanut butter the first …
Did you ever have a snack that you just couldn’t resist? You open the bag and no matter how hard you try, you know you’ll never be able to put it down? For me, that used to be the chocolate-covered potato chips from Trader Joe’s. There maybe used to be eight in the bag total–ruffled …
You can tell it’s spring by the sheer amount of fruit and berries that have made their way into my recipes lately. 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.

If you’re ever looking for a cookie recipe that’s guaranteed to please a crowd, this is it. 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. The first time I brought …
To those of you that celebrate it: Happy Easter! To those of you that don’t: you can still enjoy the candy sales that are about to come your way. So what if everything is egg-shaped? Half-priced chocolate and jelly beans is a deal you really can’t pass up. There is something about the coming of …
Easter is one of those holidays that seems to drive a lot of candy sales. What is an Easter basket without a giant, foil-wrapped chocolate bunny, a Cadbury Creme egg, or a box of Peeps? Besides the egg-shaped Reese’s, I always looked forward to that small carton of Robin’s Eggs. From the bright colors to …
Warning: these blondies are amazing. Normally, I try to reserve some self-control when it comes to eating what I’ve baked. With these blondies around, my willpower seems to go missing. Honestly, the first time I made them, I picked at them until a whole row was polished off. It takes everything I have to resist …
