Do you know how hard it is to find cookie cutters in May? It's extremely difficult. I guess most people relegate their cookie-cutter shopping to the months surrounding Christmas. It makes sense, but...what do you do when you really need a non-Santa-shaped cookie cutter in the summer?

Pineapple Cake Cookies
I'm constantly searching for the perfect weird cookie combination. Chocolate chip? Nah. Too normal. Oatmeal raisin? Get out of here with that. I've experimented with lemon and white chocolate, mint and dark chocolate, plus a whole menagerie of ingredients that are thrown into my recipe for My Man's Cookies. Everybody and their mom has a favorite chocolate chip… Continue reading Pineapple Cake Cookies

I decided not to venture to the new grocery store on the very first day of its opening, so I went the next day...and it was well worth it. Even though the small building was packed, the lines flowed quickly. I had… Continue reading Pumpkin Oat Chip Cookies
Pepita Lime Cookies
I'm what you might call a connoiseur of cookies. I think it's mainly because cookies are so easy to make. I can't bake a cake to save my life, but damn if I can make a good chocolate-chip cookie. I don't discriminate between cookies, either. I'll eat my way through some vanilla wafers just like I… Continue reading Pepita Lime Cookies
