Decorative Sugar Cookies – Jaladay Style
Happy Jaladays! As gifts this year, I decided to make jalapeño-shaped cookies for my clients. As fate would have it the stars aligned, and Etsy delivered, so I was able to get an adorable custom cookie cutter in the shape of my logo from The Fussy Pup, as well as custom cookie tins from the […]
Swirly Twirly Sugar Cookies
A friend sent me this recipe and, as she’s responsible for a number of the killer sweets you’ll find on this site, of course I was going to try it. And how pretty are these cookies? Who can resist? They reminded me immediately of the movie Elf. All I kept thinking when looking at them […]
Ugly Christmas Sweater Cookies
So it’s my 5 year anniversary of having this blog, which is kind of insane. I also just passed 200 posts. Quite an accomplishment considering I’ve slowed down with my baking. But it’s a big reason to celebrate, so we should dress up in our ugly holiday sweaters! Okay, there’s no way you’d call these […]
Star Wars Birthday Party
A friend of mine, who is a nominee as mom of the year in my book, recently threw a Star Wars-themed birthday party for her now 6-year old son. This woman does nothing halfway – there were different stations for the kids to make things – making Jabba Goo, a homemade play-dough station (she pre-made it all in every […]
No Bake Cookies
I’ve had this recipe from Food Network stored away for awhile. Years, actually. And one morning, before a cookout a few weeks ago, I couldn’t handle the thought of baking something, so I turned to these. How can you go wrong; chocolate and peanut butter? Less than 15 minutes to make? I was sold. Bonus – I had […]
Cookie Butter Cookies
With leftover Cookie Butter from the Jessiesaurus Cookies, and a birthday party coming up, I opted to try a new recipe, rather than make another batch of the stuffed cookies for the same group of people. After doing a search for “cookie butter cookies,” my eyes first went to this post by Buzzfeed, and I ended […]
Jessiesaurus Cookies
A friend sent me this recipe from Picky Palate after she’d made the cookies for a cookout last summer. They were incredible, and I finally had an occasion to make them! The original recipe calls for Biscoff, and I didn’t know what that was, but my friend said she’d just used cookie butter in its place. […]
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m generally not a huge fan of banana products, outside eating an actual banana, but these cookies were fantastic. I didn’t have any on hand, but next time I’ll be adding in some peanut butter chips as well. You’ll want to make sure you use overripe bananas for these, the kind you’d otherwise probably throw away, […]
Gingerbread Men – With Style
So I mentioned in this post about Gingerbread Men that I’d gotten a bit creative with my decorating. No lie, I was more excited about decorating these guys than anything else. I’d gotten it in my head that they would just look so cute with sweaters on. But not just any sweaters, obviously… They needed […]
Gingerbread Men
I, like many of you I’m sure, have been getting into the holiday spirit what seems to be a lot earlier than usual. Now that I have a shiny new kitchen, complete with a new gas range, it was time to test it out on some baked goods. I’ve been really excited to make, and […]
