I hadn't been planning on making chocolate chip pumpkin cookies, seeing as I had just made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. But I couldn't resist when I saw a recipe for chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from Sally's Baking Addiction. I've made pumpkin cookies before when I was a less experienced baker, and they were cake-y along with pretty...

Cookie batch number 2 for the new student BBQ were simple, soft baked sugar cookies studded with lots of sprinkles. I wanted a fairly simple cookie that pretty much everyone likes and would provide a nice contrast to the salted caramel chocolate chip cookies of yesterday. I also thought sprinkles would be a fun and festive way to celebrate the...

I've been on a bit of a cookie binge lately. Right before school started, our incoming class of students threw together an impromptu BBQ to get everyone together and be social. I wanted to make a good first (baking) impression on my classmates, so I wanted to bring a couple of different homemade cookies for everyone to nosh on, the first of...

It should come as no surprise that I love my Dahlia Bakery Cookbook. Apparently these peanut butter on peanut butter sandwich cookies (basically a soft and much larger version of a store-bought Nutter Butter cookie) named Nora Ephron cookies after the late rom-com director tasted one while filming Sleepless in Seattle and declared them to be her...

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...

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...

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...

Today begins the first in a series of posts that documents the several day journey I took to make the dessert for our going away party. I'll give you hint as to what it was (in case you weren't there)— it involved cookies. Lots and lots of cookies! Stick around for the next 3 days to see how it all comes together! Instant pudding mix seems...

Funfetti cupcakes are the perfect celebratory dessert for a birthday, or a great treat to insert a little happiness and color into a plain ol' weekday. I made these cupcakes for the second reason, and am posting for the first reason because today is the blog's 2nd birthday! I can't believe it's been two years since that pizza night, only a...

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...
