The past few times I’ve asked my family if they have any dessert requests, my sister’s answer has just been “chocolate.” Simple, to the point. And last time she said that, I realized that in all the variations, I’ve never made a chocolate version of these sugar cookies! It seemed about time. So I went…
Key Lime Pie Sugar Cookies
I was bemoaning the amount of graham crackers I had, but a stroke of genius led me to a way to use them up. Key lime pie sugar cookies! Another twist on the now classic recipe. I need to remember for the future. Graham crackers = s’mores, but there are also plenty of other use…
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
When I was at Cub a few weeks ago, I was perusing their extensive extract collection. As one does. I found some strawberry extract, and I was immediately intrigued. Ordinarily, I would say that a fruit extract is a terrible idea, especially for something like strawberry. I think orange and lemon extracts are horrific. But…
Lucky Charms Cookies
St. Patrick’s Day has always been a very blah “holiday” in my opinion. For as much as I love the color green, it really makes no sense as a holiday that needs to be marked on calendars. As a kid, it was an excuse for the most annoying kids at school to pretend they have…
Happy Valentine’s Day: Chocolate Cola Coconut Cookies
This Valentine’s Day, I’m celebrating love. Not love for me. Love for my dear personal friend, Biberty Butumal Guy. In the latest Liberty Mutual ad, they’ve brought back the Biberty Butumal guy, and he’s found love! Finally, a rom-com story I can be invested in. A couple I can root for. Biberty Guy and Biberty…
Frosted Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
It’s Christmas cookie season!! I’m always torn between making the classics and wanting to try a bunch of different kinds. I will of course get around to making the classics this year. But I’ve got to sneak in a few new ones as well! You never know when you’ll hit on a new classic. And…
Apple Butter Peanut Butter Cookies
As I’m doing a string of apple butter posts right now, I took a look on the blog to see what other recipes we had using apple butter. I found this whoopie pie recipe Molly posted, which is accidentally pretty similar to these! But that was back when Molly was posting from college, so I…
The LA Years: A little heroin at 3:30 in the afternoon (or maybe just some Almond Lemon Poppyseed Cookies?)
The further away I get from LA, and the more I write about it, the more I realize that the root of my issue with LA was just the sheer mental load needed to exist there. It was too high. You could argue that the mental load of being an 18-24 year old anywhere is…
