Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
I toldja I was gonna do it! I used some leftover holiday Oreos (I had 12 exactly, how fortuitous!), and bought a pack of pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough for the outside. This pack, however, made jumbo cookies, so I only used one dough square per Oreo. You’ll follow the same drill as you would […]
Traditional Charoset
So it’s Passover, and I’ve been remiss in posting recipes appropriate to this particular holiday. Specifically associated with the seder, charoset is actually a wonderful salsa of sorts that can be scooped up and eaten on matzah. While its purpose at the seder is to represent the mortar with which Jews built the bricks while […]
Best Damn Sugar Cookies. (Period)
I’ve posted a couple of sugar cookie posts on this site, but I am asking you to disregard all of them and bookmark this one. (Ok, except maybe for the decorative ones, because they’re different.) I needed to make some cookies this past weekend for the crew on a commercial shoot, same as I did […]

When I think of sugar cookies…
**Not to detract from the simple tastiness of these cookies, but I have found the sugar cookie recipe to beat all other recipes. Check it out!** I think of these. The sugar cookie of my memories are light and crumbly, and more like a biscuit – not the ones I used for decorating. They’re super […]
Biscuits and Scones
Two of the simplest things I’ve made yet, and certainly two of the tastiest. Here’s a little confession for you all… I have started taking a baking class. I figured I might as well learn a thing or two about this hobby I’ve come to love so dearly, so I signed up for an 11 […]
A Simple Little Cookie
I had a lovely President’s Day Weekend, especially since we had an extra day off work. Who doesn’t love that? Although I love not having to work, that doesn’t mean I can go 3 days without seeing my coworkers. The Boys, as I affectionately call the 2 guys I work with that are practically my […]
