I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for ages, and even though I’m trying not to make any BA recipes, I just couldn’t delete it. I had a hunch these cookies would be like Sesame Snaps* in cookie formation, and I just had to see if I was right. I also unearthed a plastic bag of toasted......
Every December I convince myself I’ll have time to make decorated sugar cookies for various Christmas parties or cookie platters, and of course I never do. They’re so pretty, but so time-consuming, so instead I make them for Valentine’s Day (you can see them on my Instagram going back over the years in so many......
I was pretty disappointed with my first Chocolate Chip Cookie of quarantine, and was eager to test another one. I have so many bookmarked: Alton Brown’s The Chewy, Milk Bar’s Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies, even a Joy the Baker classic. But then Nicole let me know that the owner of Bake Shoppe* was demo-ing some......
Biscotti aren’t really my thing. They’re too crunchy and kind of bland, and what’s the point of a cookie you can’t eat without dunking in coffee or tea? I do however consider myself a biscotti making expert, since they’re the treat I used to always make for my favourite former boss (here are a couple......
Who knew that one of the side effects of a global pandemic is that it turns everyone into a wannabe baker? Flour is in short supply, yeast is nowhere to be found, and I have ongoing egg insecurity*. Luckily my neighbour brought me a huge bag of flour while I was in self-isolation after returning......
Last April, Bon Appétit published their best chocolate chip cookie recipe and I immediately tweeted: Of course it took me a year to finally get around to testing it out, but hey, we’ve all found ourselves with a bit more time to bake lately. This recipe has some familiar techniques from past CCC trials, including......
Last week I texted my friend Lusina to see if she had any treat requests for my upcoming visit to see her and her baby twins. At first she said no, and that I shouldn’t go to any trouble (I mean, has she met me? It’s my joy in life to fulfil treat requests!). But......
It’s wild to me that I’ve had the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook for over 10 years now, but have still only made one cookie out of it. The recipes are a bit high maintenance for me, and usually require one or two ingredients that I don’t keep stocked in my kitchen. I pulled it out......
This year was the TENTH Champagne & Cookies Party! I can’t believe I’ve been hosting this celebration since 2010! In a special twist this year, I relinquished cookie selection to five of my friends who’ve been around since the very first C&C. I asked them to choose their favourite treat from parties past, I picked......
It’s PUMPKIN SZN! Well, an abbreviated one anyway, since it’ll be time for Christmas Cookies before we know it. I was pretty late in cracking open a can of pumpkin this year, but still managed to sneak in a few new recipes. Does everybody out there know what a snickerdoodle cookie is? I don’t think......
