I made homemade peanut butter for the first time! The only thing better than homemade peanut butter? Homemade honey roasted peanut butter! I don't think making basic peanut butter qualifies as a recipe post because it is super easy. Toss a 16-ounce jar of peanuts with about a tablespoon of peanut oil (or a flavorless oil like canola) into a...

Think white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and replace the macadamia nuts with peppermint. Sound good? Well, that's exactly what these taste like! Of course, when I heard M\&M was releasing White Chocolate Peppermint M\&Ms exclusively through Target, I knew we'd have to make a trip to buy some. We hit the Christmas candy aisle pretty...

I love the holiday season in general. I told Dustin the best part of marrying him is that I get to celebrate Christmas AND Hanukkah! In celebration of Hanukkah, I busted out my menorah and dreidel cookie cutters from Crate and Barrel to create some special cut out cookies for The Festival of Lights! These aren't the traditional sugar cookies...

In the fall and winter, I eat oatmeal almost everyday for lunch when I am by myself. It's healthy, quick to make, and warms me up on chilly days. I can also customize it in dozens of ways, so it's never quite the same, and I get to add a little bit of sugar or stevia, so my natural sweet tooth is satiated. However, lately my favorite version of...

For my first holiday treat of the season, I knew I wanted to incorporate the flavor of ginger. It's not gingerbread time quite yet, so I sought out a recipe for gingersnaps. Soft gingersnaps because that's how I best like my cookies, and my taste testers will just have to learn to eat all of their cookies the way I want them. Not that anyone's...

Dustin is a pretty lucky boy. Not only did I make him a birthday cake on his actual birthday. We had a little get together with friends to celebrate, for which I made him another cake— a cookie cake to be exact. We have a special place in our heart for cookie cakes. You see, back in Houston, we'd eat this delicious double layer cookie cake...

If you are reading this post this morning, I am currently taking the GRE, so wish me luck! I sure wish I still had some cookies to come home to following my test... Sadly enough, these have already been consumed. I guess I'll have to find something else to celebrate with. In other news, I've started collecting cookbooks. I'm a little ashamed...

You know the saying "98% of statistics are made up on the spot"? Well this is one of those statistics. When it comes to cookies, I'm pretty sure 9 out of 10 people will take an oatmeal cookie then proceed to tell you they prefer chocolate chip. I'm one of those people too. But I do like oatmeal raisin cookies, especially as a change of pace. The...

I'm not going to lie. Ever since I bought The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook, I've been itching to make nearly every single recipe. But this recipe really stood out to me. The one I knew I had to try first. I've just been waiting for the right time. And the time is now. Chocolate chip cookie dough sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies. Oh...

I first made these cookies about a year ago before I began chronicling our recipe catalogue on wafoodie. Planning on making some sort of cookie at the last minute, I saw a stray orange in the fridge and knew I had all of the ingredients in my pantry to make these orange and vanilla cookies with flavors reminiscent of the ever popular Creamsicle...
