For those who don’t know, there’s an institution at the Minnesota State Fair called Sweet Martha’s Cookies. Sweet Martha dishes out chocolate chip cookies. By the bucket, literally. You can get a cup if you want… but the lines are long, and really, what’s the point of getting a cup of ten cookies when you…
Corn Cookies with Honey Buttermilk Frosting
As about 95% of this blog’s readers know, I spent Thursday and Friday of last week baking up a storm to prep my entries for the State Fair baked product competition! A full post (and video) is coming about that experience, but I accumulated a lot of content during the process, and editing a video…
Strawberry Lemon Pinwheels
In about two weeks, I’m going to have to go into full-on baking mode for a few days as I get my State Fair submissions ready. Since I locked in my ideas and registered, I’m in countdown mode. I feel like I’m not coming up with as many ideas, probably subconsciously I know I’m going…

I was flipping through the All About Cake cookbook recently, and I stumbled across a recipe for Milk Bar Pie frosting. I immediately thought, “say less.” How had I not found this before?? So when my brother asked me to make “anything” for a party he was going to, I made some of the frosting…
Brown Butter S’mores Cookies
I am always trying to get my family to give me requests for baking. I am always happy to indulge an idea, or make something out of an idea. But I feel like I so rarely get requests! They’re happy with me making whatever I want, but frankly I enjoy a bit of direction. So…
Chocolate Orange Shortbread
As I work on my State Fair Baking plan, I’ll need to decide which categories are worth entering. I think I can make a great shortbread, but… can’t a lot of people? How do you stand out in a category where the the basic form of the recipe has three ingredients? It’s butter, flour, and…
