Nutella Rugelach

Nutella Rugelach
A few weeks ago, someone at school brought in a big box of rugelach from a bakery she frequented in her youth. There were all sorts of flavors, but the chocolate one stuck out as the best to me, so I thought I'd do my own version containing Nutella in celebration of Hanukkah. I also made these along with the cranberry white chocolate chip...

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
We had a potluck style lab party (and super competitive trivia competition) with all of our undergraduate RAs to celebrate the end of the quarter yesterday. Naturally I brought dessert. The base of these cookies are the same as your standard white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, except I swapped the nuts for dried cranberries for a festive...

Soft Molasses Cookies

Soft Molasses Cookies
I purchased my annual bottle of molasses recently, deciding now that it is officially appropriate to wear a (light) jacket here in LA (and exactly one month from Christmas as of today), it was time to make molasses cookies. Easier than rolling out gingerbread men, I still get my molasses/ginger/cinnamon fix. I really wanted to make the Dahlia...

Mini Pumpkin Biscotti with Maple Glaze

Mini Pumpkin Biscotti with Maple Glaze
One of the labs on campus has a full kitchen in their workspace. Back in the 1970's, the workspace was an apartment  where researchers used to conduct experiments during which they'd watch people in a "natural habitat," so to speak. Now those kind of experiments don't really get done anymore in psychology, so the lab space was passed on, leaving...

Pumpkin Spice M&M Skillet Cookie

Pumpkin Spice M&M Skillet Cookie
Happy Halloween! I've already professed my love for skillet cookies before and how they bring such nostalgia for the early days of my relationship with Dustin. For an updated version, perfect for Halloween, I decided to infuse the cake with pumpkin and fall spices along with pumpkin spice M\&Ms. I also wanted to frost it with a maple frosting,...

Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodles

Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodles
Dustin argued that these cookies weren't different enough from the chocolate chip version I made last month for them to legitimately come out of my kitchen, since I almost never repeat desserts. But I say these cookies have a significant twist to them, plus I still had half a bag of Rolos sitting in the cabinet. Snickerdoodles are synonymous...

Cookie Butter Cookies

Cookie Butter Cookies
Continuing on the cookie binge of the past few days, I decided to make cookie butter cookies. They are basically like peanut butter cookies, but they are better because the recipe uses cookie butter. Yes, the sillyness of baking cookies using something made from crushed cookies was not lost on me when I decided to bake these. Cookie butter is...

Triple Cookie Stack Cake

Triple Cookie Stack Cake
I've professed my love for regular cookie cakes, but how much more exciting would a cookie stack be? Instead of making one large cookie, you make dozens of normal sized cookies and "glue" them together with icing. This was the big dessert I had planned out for our going away salmon bake party. I completely love the idea for this cake, but...

Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tomorrow is the big reveal of the dessert featuring cookies, and today's post features chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. I always think of these cookies as the opposite of chocolate chip cookies. An inside-out chocolate chip cookie, you may say, since they have a dark base, light mix-in versus light base, dark mix-in. But really...

M&M Cookies

M&M Cookies
I'm honestly trying to place my fingers on what makes an M\&M cookie different than a chocolate chip cookie, and I can't quite do it. I'm not sure if it's actually in the dough or just in my head, but they are definitely distinctly different in my book, and it's not just in the mix-ins. I have always thought chocolate chip to be my favorite, but...
