October 15, 2012

Are you a cocoa nib fan? I was recently introduced to them compliments of Scharffen Berger. So far I’ve only used them in sweet treats, but I can’t wait to try them in some savory dishes. They lend not only terrific flavor but also a fun crunch to the outside of these cookies. If you [...]

Caramel Biscoff Blondies

October 8, 2012

Have you tried cookie butter yet? Biscoff? Speculoos? Same thing–different names–all amazing. Think smooshed up cookies. That you can eat with a spoon.

Ginger Sparkles {aka Gingersnaps}

December 5, 2011

These cookies bring back such memories for me. Some people might call them gingersnaps, but we’re going to stick with ginger sparkles. Because they sparkle. And who doesn’t need a little sparkle in their life? But I never really liked them as I was growing up. Perhaps that is part of the memory. As my [...]
