{Easy} Small-Batch Macarons.
Anyone who’s a baker can confirm that macarons are one of the trickier beasts of baking. Well, baking can be a bit of a tricky beast in general – which is precisely why I love it – and probably why many people hate it. But macarons. Oh man. They’re just on another level of sorcery. Macarons…

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies.
A few weeks ago, I was alone on my couch, binge-watching Breaking Bad and drinking a bit too much wine. And suddenly this fierce craving for peanut butter hit me. Kind of an odd craving when you’re Netflix ‘n Winin’ it up, I suppose. Nevertheless, I gave in to my craving, and made some of…

Small Batch Iced Sugar Cookies.
My poor, poor blog. I’ve been neglecting her a lot lately [yes, my blog has a gender, and is a “she”]… I have been back in the U.S. from my Germany adventures, so I don’t have much of an excuse. Shit happens, I guess. Anyway. June and July seem to be months of change for…

Oatmeal Scotchies.
Oatmeal scotchies have been one of my favorite cookies ever since I was a little girl. They will forever remind me of my dad, because they’re also his favorite cookies [after peanut butter cookies, of course]. I have fond memories of making oatmeal scotchies every now and then as my obsession with baking grew while…

Gooey Butter Cake Cookies.
Man. I am on a roll with cookies these days, huh? #cookiemonster So I’ve been a Saint Louis local for nearly two years now, and in that time, of course I’ve gotten my hands on a few slices of gooey butter cake. I even attempted to make my own gooey butter cake from scratch, but…

Giant M&Ms Cookies.
Is there a dessert that you just love, but barely ever eat – because you know you’d overindulge every day on said dessert if given the chance? For me, that dessert is M&M cookies – I rarely eat them, but my taste buds think they’re the best cookies ever. I love me some cookies of all…

Saveur Peanut Butter Cookies.
There are times in which I just have neither the time nor the energy to dedicate to food photography. It took me awhile to actually get over myself and start working consistently on this blog. But once I did [sorta], I realized just how damn hard it is to take good photos with a digital SLR camera.…

Heart-Shaped Chocolate Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing.
I don’t generally give Valentine’s Day too much thought. It’s a good day, especially if you’re in a relationship with a special someone. But I guess my philosophy has always been that we should show our loved ones that they’re loved every day. I don’t need a dang holiday for that! Still, I’m not gonna lie:…

Peanut Butter Blossoms.
Peanut butter blossoms are a classic cookie that I’m pretty sure 95% of people love. I’ve been a peanut butter blossom fan since I was a child. They’re just good cookies; I mean, if chocolate and peanut butter are involved, what’s not to like?! {Unless you’re allergic to peanut butter and/or chocolate… Then yeah. I…

Homemade Fortune Cookies.
We’ve officially had another successful RBE {Roommate Baking Endeavor (or perhaps we should call it a challenge?)* for the books! This time, the roomie and I decided to make homemade fortune cookies. Yeah, it can actually be done. It was – once again – a very interesting experience. Making homemade fortune cookies was fun, and…
