I saw this recipe on the Milk Street instagram account and I haven’t made cookies similar to this before so wanted to try them out. The recipe says they are based on Basler brunsli cookies, which are Swiss holiday cookies. I have never had those, so can’t compare to these, but I liked the ideaContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Almond Spice Cookies”

Soft Glazed Gingerbread
This soft glazed gingerbread recipe is from Tartine bakery in San Francisco and it is by far my favorite gingerbread cookie to make. There are a few reasons for this. One, it holds its shape/pattern decently when baked, so it works great with cookie stamps or an embossed rolling pin (I use both). It isContinueContinue reading “Soft Glazed Gingerbread”

You only need 3 ingredients to make it (4 if you want nuts), and the process is super easy. This homemade toffee makes a greatContinueContinue reading “Homemade Toffee”
Chocolate Cherry Shortbread

It is also fun to experiment with other flavors of shortbread. I love citrus shortbread, especially lemon. These cherry chocolate shortbread cookies are a bit more festive though,ContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Cherry Shortbread”

Candied orange (or lemon or grapefruit) peel is really easy to make and it is good to eat on its own just as candy.ContinueContinue reading “Candied Orange Peel”
Christmas Crack
I started making this recipe a few years ago and it has become one of my regular holiday treats to make. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of this recipe at first. Saltines with a bunch of stuff dumped on them? Didn’t sound that impressive. I don’t make things on repeat though unlessContinueContinue reading “Christmas Crack”
Hot Chocolate Cookies

I have been seeing different hot chocolate cookie recipes for a while now, and wanted to try them. I am totally sold. These cookies have great chocolate flavor, are crispyContinueContinue reading “Hot Chocolate Cookies”
