Anzac Biscuits + A Few Australia Pics

May 3, 2012

While I was in Sydney, I was introduced to a wonderful little cookie called the Anzac biscuit. The cookies are an Australian tradition and are associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) because they do not spoil easily and were able to be sent to soldiers abroad during World War I. I [...]

Vegan Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

February 27, 2012

These vegan oatmeal cookies are a new favorite of mine. They are soft, chewy, and taste like a quintessential oatmeal cookie. They aren’t just really good vegan cookies–they are really good cookies… period. To create that rich flavor and texture that you would normally get from using butter, these cookies use a number of surprising [...]

Oatmeal Shortbread

February 4, 2012

I adore these cookies. Don’t let the oats fool you into thinking that they aren’t delicious. They look deceptively healthy, but this is shortbread we are talking about. There is plenty of butter in them, I promise. Essentially, this is a shortbread that uses mostly oats instead of flour–genius idea, if you ask me. All [...]

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

January 12, 2012

Peanut butter has got to be one of my favorite foods. I practically lived on it in college (that and Nutella) and have baked my fair share of peanut butter cookies. Like I said here, peanut butter cookies are my weakness. In general, I prefer the homemade variety to any bakery’s (although Momofuku Milk Bar [...]

Cinnamon Sugar Palmiers

December 22, 2011

Holiday traditions are the best! Because Andrew and I don’t live near our families, we have this tradition of celebrating Christmas at home the night before we start our holiday travels. Every year we exchange ornaments, give the pups their gifts (yeah, they get gifts too), and watch Love Actually. We did this last night [...]

Peppermint Butter Cookies

December 19, 2011

My friend, Cat, invited me to a cookie swap last night and I’m never one to turn down a cookie swap. All the ladies were so much fun and the food was great (I think the stars of show were the homemade heart-shaped marshmallows and mexican hot chocolate made by the host… amazing)! For the [...]

Sugar and Spice Drop Cookies

December 9, 2011

I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread. I don’t know if it’s because my mom never baked it growing up or my general aversion to ginger, but I’ve never really liked it. This being said, I don’t think I’ll be sharing any gingerbread recipes anytime soon. These sugar and spice [...]

Pecan Toffee Shortbread

November 29, 2011

Our Christmas tree is up, I have some of my holiday shopping done, and I’ve officially baked my first batch of cookies this cookie season. I love this time of year! I wanted to try this recipe last year, but I never got around to it, so I put it first on my cookie baking [...]

Chocolate Coconut Almond Cookies

November 10, 2011

I woke up this morning and realized that there are only two weeks until Thanksgiving! My parents will be coming into town, so I will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner for them for the first time ever (eek)! I spent most of my morning looking up table setting ideas and going through recipes. And now I [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Cookies

October 19, 2011

Yesterday, the temperature in Houston was below 80 degrees… it finally feels like fall! We just got back from a trip to France and my desire to make pain au chocolat and macarons has now been trumped by my urge to make anything and everything I can with pumpkin. I’ve got dozens of different pumpkin [...]
