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 …
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.

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 …
My mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies. I know, I know. That’s something that most people could probably argue, but I have a whole family of Italians that agree with that fact. There are some incredible cooks in my family, and even with her recipe, none of them can manage to get her chocolate …
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 …
Sometimes, you just want a classic cookie: something with a solid flavor combination that just about everyone knows and loves. That’s what I was going for with these Oatmeal Scotchies. I wanted a cookie recipe that I could throw together and bring anywhere without having people look at me like the flavor combination was crazy. …
