• Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

  Is it possible to have the perfect chocolate chip cookie? America’s Test Kitchen thinks so. This isn’t your typical chocolate chip cookie recipe so you shouldn’t expect it to be as simple as the recipe on the side of the chocolate chip cookie bag. You have to do a couple of things that take a…

• Oat Crisp Chocolate Cookies (Havreflarn Med Choklad)

  According to the internet fika “is a Swedish word meaning “to have coffee”, often accompanied with pastries, cookies or pie.” My boss is Swedish so I thought it would be fun to try a recipe from my Fika cookbook and bring them in for an authentic Fika. This recipe isn’t hard, but you’ll need to…

• Date Nut Meringues

  

  A friend made these fun cookies back in October and I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptic of how they would taste once she told me they were made with dates. I’m not a quitter though so I ate it anyway and I’m so glad I did. These cookies are amazing and taste like…

• Gingerbread Cookies

  

  Gingerbread: a quintessential of the holiday season. I haven’t made gingerbread cookies in a long time, but was keeping my nieces this weekend and thought it would be a fun thing to do together. It’s important to use the right recipe for cookies that you use cookie cutters on so I went to my trusted…

• Molasses Cookies

  It’s starting to get a little cooler outside so to help usher in fall I decided to make some molasses cookies. The recipe I use is one my mom always used so I have no idea where it came from. Ironically, when I pulled out the recipe my mom wrote down for me I found…

• Vanilla Sables

  After my failed attempt at the Poppyseed and Lemon Cake I was a little apprehensive to try another Great British Bake-off recipe, but after a disappointing dinner we wanted to finish the evening off strong. In full disclosure, I had no idea what sables were before today. Apparently they’re the french version of shortbread cookies.…
