Far and away my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, the secret ingredient is a package of instant pudding added to the dough. I once likened these cookies to "a regular chocolate chip cookie that went on vacation and came back in a much better mood." After publishing three blog posts in as many weeks at the start of 2018, I made a quiet pact with myself to share a blog post every week this year. I did pretty good for that first six weeks, but much to my chagrin, it's now been nearly a ...
These red velvet cookies get a double dose of chocolate from cocoa powder and melted semi-sweet chocolate. Coating them in confectioners' sugar before baking gives them their signature crinkle look. I think I fell back in love with baking when I started watching the Great British Baking Show last fall. To be fair to baking, I never stopped loving it, I just kind of put the brakes on it for a while. Then while watching these clever British bakers, I wanted to start baking again too. So ...
Cake-like cookies baked with lemon and ricotta cheese will brighten up your day. The lemon flavor in the cookies alone is subtle, but the lemon glaze takes them to next-level lemon deliciousness. Lemon cookies remind me of my grandma. A lemon fanatic if ever there was one, my memories of walking into her house always involve something lemon. Lemon meringue pie, lemon bars, lemon cake...all things lemon! I never much shared her excitement. Hand me the chocolate with the caramel inside! ...

Spiced snickerdoodle cookies get an added dose of flavor from a pinch of chipotle chile powder added to both the cookie dough and cinnamon-sugar coating. It's just enough to make you go hmmm...that's good! Sharing here after a crappy day or a crappy week or any crappy extended period of time is never easy. Writing about cookies seems so silly when there are serious problems to solve. I don't know. Maybe writing about cookies isn't such a bad thing when there is healing to do. ...
These matcha tea cake cookies have a subtle sweetness tempered with a hint of warm and spicy cardamom. Enjoy a few alone or alongside a glass of tea. When I wrote about all the reasons I do not blog much anymore, I left a reason off the list: the dishes. My, how they multiply! A lack of ability to match my recipe ides with the calendar is probably another one. If I was on my game, I would have shared a recipe for green cookies well before St. Patrick’s Day, not well after. I’ve had this matcha ...
