Alana It has been a good long while since I’ve baked anything. I went on a trip for about 1 ½ weeks with Theresa to Ireland (10/10 would recommend), which means I had to trade away the shifts that I wasn’t able to get covered by vacation, and I moved! So between prepping for my … More Skelligs Chocolate Chip Cookies
Roopa A whole bunch of my good friends are in town this weekend! It’s Vancouver Pride and the Festival of Lights, so we all have been meeting up for various activities. The Festival of Lights is a gigantic musical fireworks competition that has hundreds of thousands of people watching from the beach – we had the … More Giant Skillet Cookie
Roopa As you may have noticed, we now own the domain of chateaugateau.ca (yay!), and that is all thanks to my friend Akos. To thank him, I promised that I would bake him something, so I thought I’d whip up some baby doughnuts to take to volleyball. I wanted to make something pretty easy since … More Chocolate Baby Doughnuts
Roopa I had a reunion with my friend Kelsey for the first time in two years!! She’s off doing her doctorate in the United States, so we don’t get to see each other too often. Back in high school we used to love having baking dates, so some sort of baking was high on the … More Sea Salt Chocolate Cookies: V2
Roopa I saw a picture of half and half yin-yangesque cookies, and I wanted to try and make them. It’s a little more challenging to get the actual yin-yang shape, but I was pretty content with how they turned out. It’s basically cookies and various types of chocolate, so there was really no way these … More Reverse Cookies
NUTELLA SANDWICH COOKIES Roopa I made a batch of cookies, and I used half chocolate chips and half Skor bits. I also skipped the vanilla pudding, because it’s really not necessary; it just has a bunch of preservatives that help keep the cookies soft. I had some leftover Nutella icing from a cake I made last … More Nutella Sandwich Cookies
Roopa I didn’t love the last peanut butter cookie I made, so I decided to try again and adjust a couple of things. I added chocolate chips in lieu of cocoa – I wanted this to be a dominantly peanut butter cookie, so I didn’t want to overdo the chocolate. I think they turned out quite … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Roopa A friend of mine is in town today, so I thought I’d make him some cookies! In the past I’ve given him a lot of vanilla (even though he prefers chocolate) so I I’m overcompensating with these cookies. I just tweaked my normal cookie recipe, which worked very nicely. They’re strongly chocolatey, and not … More Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
