I find most cut out cookies to be… very boring. Sorry. Just, in the world of cookies, they are so plain. The frosting is usually the best part. But the “Cookies, rolled flat before baking” category at the State Fair specifies no icing. So… it’s a small box to get creative in. And when the…
Brown Butter Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
The only State Fair category for oatmeal cookies is “Oatmeal cookies with no mix-ins.” Which seems crazy to me! Oatmeal cookies are all about the mix-ins! It’s always oatmeal raisin, and then having oatmeal chocolate chip seems so next level. But without mix-ins, you do really need to think about that dough. So, naturally… I…
Corn Toffee Cookies
I used to associate corn cookies solely with Milk Bar. But, I’ve recently been seeing a lot of corn cookie content online. I think they’re becoming a more common cookie option? And amidst all this content, I saw someone make corn cookies with toffee in them. Which sounded brilliant! So of course I had to…
Chocolate Root Beer Float Cookies
I am in State Fair mode for the next two weeks – I need to lock in on getting all my bakes practiced. So when my brother asked if I was bringing snacks to the Sharknado screening in the park, I decided to impulse bake these and get another one crossed off the list. I’ve…
Corn Blueberry Checkboard Ice Box Cookies
The math concept I use probably the most in my Real Life is Lowest Common Denominator. It’s a useful one for baking. If you want to make a smaller batch of something, divide all the ingredients by the LCD. Which is typically the smallest amount of something that you can’t break down any further. Usually,…
Brown Butter Chocolate Crumb Cookies
These cookies were a bit of an impulse bake. I had some leftover chocolate crumb from this birthday cake, and I wasn’t about to let it go to waste! I was cooking up all sorts of ideas in my head but eventually just landed on putting them in some cookies instead of chocolate chips. Easy…
(Brown Butter Corn and) Honey Stamp Cookies
These cookies were a true trial-and-error process. A proper research-and-development project. Three iterations, and I finally got them to a place that I think will be good for the State Fair. I first made these with olive oil, and they turned out… fine. I used a vanilla butter extract that I don’t think meshed well…
Peanut Butter Cheez-It Cookies
Walk with me here. These are a divisive cookie. Some people hear the concept and they think, “yes of course, why didn’t I think of that sooner.” Other people hear it and say, “No, I don’t want Cheez-Its in a cookie.” I do think there is a correct response, of course, but I can respect…
