Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I know this is not a baby blog.  I can’t believe I’ve become one of those moms that takes far too many pictures of her child and is convinced that she’s the cutest baby that ever lived.  I really, truly thought I wouldn’t be that mom. But I am.  Oops. [...]

Chocolate Malt Cookies

These are Thank You cookies. I made them for my parents to thank them for a bunch of stuff. For driving down from Portland to hang out with me until this stubborn baby gets here. For bringing a TON of baby stuff from my aunt and uncle (I should [...]

Pretzel-M&M Blondies

My sister is in town for the whole week, which means she’s baking all sorts of good stuff, doing our dishes, and advising us on interior decoration because we’ve been in this house for over 3 weeks and have yet to hang a single picture on our walls. I [...]

Soft frosted sugar cookies

I did not have healthy habits in college. I ate too many Lean Cuisines. I spent way too much money on expensive jeans. I really enjoyed the bars, even on school nights. I watched WAY too much reality TV. Somehow in there I managed to train for and finish [...]

Soft Chocolate Peanut Butter-Chip Cookies

I definitely didn’t realize how long it would take to recover from the Boston marathon, flying across the country, and going right back to work. I have been EXHAUSTED this week. But not too exhausted to make cookies. Mike’s coworker had a birthday, and I wanted to make cookies but [...]

Coffee Cardamom Brownies

If you like Turkish coffee and you like brownies, you will love these. If you like brownies but you’ve never had Turkish coffee, give them a try! Cardamom and coffee both complement chocolate extremely well. I’ve fallen completely in love with the Gourmet cookbook my sister gave me for [...]

Homemade Samoas

We’re right in the middle of Girl Scout cookie time, which is normally one of my favorite times of year becuase honestly, even though they’re horrible for you, those cookies are pretty addictive. But now that I know how disastrous palm oil (which is used heavily in Girl Scout [...]

Peanut Butter – Chocolate Whoopie Pies

I’ve already made peanut butter chocolate whoopie pies, but those were chocolate with peanut butter frosting. This time, thanks to the Whoopie Pie book I got for Christmas, it was time to try those flavors the other way around. I think my one major mistake was using natural, unsweetened [...]
