Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
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? Your options are either (a) spend way too much money on an overpriced… Continue reading White Chocolate Mocha 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.

Even though the small building was packed, the lines flowed quickly. I had… Continue reading Pumpkin Oat Chip Cookies
