I am officially a baking supply packrat. During my last winter baking spree, I bought a bag of seasonal dark chocolate and mint chips and never used them. In fact I completely forgot about them. When cleaning out the cabinets for the move I stumbled upon the bag and knew I had to do something with them. I couldn't let a whole bag of special...

When I read about these honey roasted peanut and butterscotch cookies from Averie Cooks I couldn't get that flavor combination (or those pictures) out of my head. So I decided to recreate them in my own kitchen and add a little of my own flair to them— oatmeal and white chocolate chips. There's not really enough oatmeal to qualify them as a...

You know the saying "you learn something new every day." Well here is your fun (and tasty) fact of the day...every August 10th, the United States celebrates National S'mores Day. S'mores cookies and s'mores cookie bars have been all over the internet. I wanted to make my own version using smoked chocolate chips because what's anything s'more...

I swear those little frosted animal cookies have this drug-like addicting quality to them because every time I pass by them at the store I have this strange and inexplicable feeling to always want to buy them now. Fortunately, Whole Foods, where we do the majority of our grocery shopping, doesn't sell them, so I just have to drool over them when...

Right after the 4th, both Dustin and I got sick. I told him the benefit of him having to take a sick day is getting to eat freshly baked treats, straight out of the oven. I didn't want to do too much baking since I didn't feel stellar either, plus I couldn't make desserts for other people since I still might be contagious. The absolute last...

I had a mini freak out on July 3rd that we wouldn't have enough desserts for the party (or at least enough options), and I also realized I didn't have anything with chocolate in it. So the day before the big event I whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies to add to the menu. They ended up being the most complemented dessert of the night and...

Happy 4th of July! Today we are preparing for D's parents coming into town and a big party at our apartment complex with neighbors and friends. I, of course, volunteered to make desserts, so I've been frantically preparing doughs, custards, pie crusts, and more over the last few days. I made the dough for these a few days ago, wrapped the logs...

One of my favorite things about hanging out at the mall and shopping with friends in middle and high school was that we'd share a slice of cookie cake from The Great American Cookie Company— more bang for your buck, which you could save for the clothing stores, rather than buying the Double Doozies. However, if nobody was willing to share, then...

I was told these were the best snickerdoodles ever. A basic snickerdoodle is enhanced by a generous helping of cinnamon chips to take these cookies from average to extraordinary. And as you may have guessed if you have been diligently reading Wafoodie, making these are the first step towards making snickerdoodle ice cream. Stay tuned for that...

A week in Texas + a week of no grocery shopping = no recipes to blog about. It also equals several extra pounds of body fat (mostly thanks to the copious amounts of Tex-Mex we consumed while in Austin and San Antonio) we are trying to erase with lots of running and spin classes at the gym. However, as per usual, I was expected to make a dessert...
