I’m back from my sugar coma with another liquid cookie. Today’s recipe comes from Delish #notsponsored #emailme and looks a lot more tame than the circus cookie cocktail.
What is time anymore? Is it Christmas? Continue reading

Recipe 81: Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
This time of year is…awkward. Halloween is over, I’m ready for Christmas, but there’s still the problem of Thanksgiving in the way. I think this recipe will fit the inbetween season well.
This comes from Martha’s new book, Cookie Perfection.
PERFECTION?! That’s a strong word, Martha! Yeah…I pre-ordered it because LOOK AT IT. Continue reading

Recipe 80: Cashew Butter and Jam Thumbprints
Hiiiiiiii! I lied to you last time. It’s been a year. Do I even remember how to bake?
Well, I’ll tell you right now…the answer is no! I have a friend, Lindy, who is not eating dairy right now. Fall is in the air (literally, with all my fall candles from Bath & Body Works #notsponsored #pleasesponsorme), so I thought it would be a good idea to make some vegan pumpkin bread! That recipe was not by Martha and it failed, miserably. But this blog is not about that bread, it’s about the dairy-free cookies I tried the next day:
This recipe is in her A New Way to Bake cookbook. This “new way” excludes flour and dairy. This recipe is not on her website. Is this a sign of things to come? Continue reading
Recipe 79: Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies
You might have thought that I’d be one-and-done like last year when I returned and only blogged once. Well, baby don’t believe what you hear. The grande dame still holds center court.
OK, maybe that was a Karen Huger quote, but it applies to this situation and the fact that I’ve been trying to catch up on the Real Housewives of Potomac which is amazing this season!
Anyway, remember when I jokingly asked someone to buy me the Martha Stewart Cookies book?
Shoutout to my friend Matt who just bought his way into this blog post! #spon
We decided to make these:

Recipe 78: Chocolate Chip Streusel Brownies
Now that I am like so totally annoyed that I have to search the actual internet for recipes, I decided to make something easy for my return to baking.

Recipe 76: Iced Sugar Cookie Cutouts
The holiday season might be gone, but this was a pre-Christmas baking event, so deal with it.
We had my niece, Ava, over for an all-day baking extravaganza. We made peanut butter kiss cookies, glitter balls, peppermint bark (that failed), and these. Continue reading
Recipe 75: Almond Fruit Bars
One of my most loyal (and cookie-excitable) followers from work had a birthday last week, so I obviously had to bake something for her.
This are actually pretty similar to the super popular PB&J Bars, but read on anyway! Continue reading

Recipe 74: Jam-Filled Cream Cheese Cookies
Last week I thought, “Oh, look, it’s all cold and wintery outside. Time to make some more Christmas cookies!”
Little did I know these would KILL my Christmas spirit. Ugh. Continue reading

Recipe 73: White-Chocolate-Kissed Gingerbread Cookies
I’m ready for the holiday season and I don’t even care. We’re a third of the way through November and that’s enough. It’s 34º right now, so it’s certainly appropriate.
Time for some holiday cookies! I didn’t even know if they still sold Hershey’s Hugs, but good news. They do. Continue reading
Recipe 72: Lavender and Honey Shortbread
I’ve been putting this one off for a while because I hate lavender. I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to smell it. I certainly don’t want to taste it. But I do this all for you, and I wanted an excuse to buy a tart pan.
I went to Macy’s to get the tart pan, then I went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients. I’m a very patient person, so it’s hard to explain how much rage I felt while I was there. Continue reading
