I take requests now…
This week I’m making THREE cookies! Yikes! Three Cookies means I’ve spent all morning baking, cleaning, baking, washing dishes and then washing more dishes. And by washing dishes, I mean packing and unpacking the dishwasher– which is the same as washing dishes to me. I can make three cookies this morning because the boys are…

Shortbread??
So this week, we (I) baked shortbread for the first time. I mean, shortbread is kind of cookie-like? It’s in a lot of cookie cookbooks but it’s not really a cookie. It’s cookie adjacent. I’ve seen shortbread recipes pop up in Cookie Cookbooks but I’ve always discarded them as “not cookie enough”. But with World…

Highs and Lows
I’ll start with the bad news. I had my first (or maybe second) cookie fail this week. I tried to re-make the Cornflake-Marshmallow-Chocolate Chip cookies from a few weeks ago and they did not turn out- at all. They were too crunchy, too dry, too ick. Wrong wrong wrong. I should have known better. I…

Goodbye Fall, Hello Winter.
Let’s just start with facts. I hate winter. I hate cold, I hate dark, I hate winter. And today is Day 1 of Winter. But that’s ok. We’ll get through it together. Despite the house being cold, despite hating all of my winter clothes, despite the short days and the long nights. Nevertheless, we persist.…

They’re called S’mores for a reason…
And actually, I’m starting to sound like a broken record- but once again, this week, THESE cookies might just be the best ones ever! I’m not speaking based on my opinion but on the reactions of everyone who has tried them! I can honestly say that these S’mores Cookies from Cookies & Crumbs (again) have…

Are these the best yet?
I know I ask that question every week- but it’s because every week someone tells me that these cookies are “the best yet!” But this week’s are pretty good. Another Cookies and Crumbs success story- this time the Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have to say, it could be my new favourite cookie cookbook. Actually,…

A first time for everything
Firstly, apologies for the lateness of my post. I only realised as I was looking for THIS week’s cookies that I hadn’t written about LAST week’s cookies yet! So, here it goes, better late than never… This week, I did something I’ve never done before…. Asked Chat GPT for a recipe. I’m doing my best…

They can’t all be winners…
This week I attempted Anzac Biscuits from Some of My Best Friends Are Cookies… and well, I was disappointed by them. They were flat, and not great. I didn’t have enough coconut and I used dark brown sugar instead of just brown sugar, and I can honestly say they weren’t my best work. I mean,…

Whiskey and Cookies…
Is the exact energy I’m bringing into my 45th trip around the sun. It’s my birthday this week. I do love my birthday- and the best thing about it being on a Wednesday, is I get to celebrate for two weekends- not just one. It’s been a good week of celebrations so far- a family…

Another week, another boozy cookie…
I’m not sure how I’ve gotten into the alcoholic cookie phase of baking but here we are yet again. I wanted to make these Tennesse Whiskey and Chocolate Chip cookies but we only had fancy whiskey in our liquor cabinet… and well, I didn’t want to risk the wrath of The Runner by using one…
