Roopa Some friends came over last night (now that I live by people!!) to have a baking date, and I wanted to do something a little different. I adapted these sweet and salty cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction. They turned out quite well. I would definitely use a different style of chip next time though, since … More Butterscotch and Potato Chip Cookies
Alana It’s been pretty rainy in Edmonton lately. Before I started my dialysis training, I was spending a lot of my time knitting and hanging out at the Tea Girl. I want to start practicing my pastry school recipes more often, but wasn’t really in the mood to do anything that requires brain power, as … More Lavender Shortbread Cookies
Roopa Happy Easter! In my mind, Easter is associated with mini eggs, so it’s a very happy time. Traditionally it also meant finals, but I have a peculiar school schedule this year, so my finals aren’t for 2 months. I wasn’t feeling ambitious enough to bake another cake, so I went with cookies. I also … More Easter Mini Egg Cookies
Team Shambles While we were writing up all of our posts from our first pastry class, we noticed that we had posted 199 times! In order to celebrate in a minor way, we decided to decorate cookies for post #200 🙂 Roopa had some fondant left over from her Earl Grey Tea Cakes so we decided … More Watercolour Sugar Cookies
Roopa My friend Chris is coming to town in a few weeks, and we were chatting about having a baking date. We ended up deciding on Earl Grey cupcakes with cardamom icing (which I am far too excited about). I mentioned this to Warren, my good friend who was in town today, and he got … More Earl Grey Cookies with White Chocolate Lemon Glaze
Alana The final component of my Christmas baking trio was whipped shortbread cookies. I say “was”, because these didn’t exactly work out the way I had planned. In research when your study gets negative or inconclusive results, the research generally is not published. This is an unfortunate fact because one study’s shortcomings could help other … More Whipped Shortbread Cookies with Mint Chocolate
Alana The final addition to the baking care package Theresa and I sent with Stephen and his friends on the bachelor party (mentioned originally in my cheddar and caramelized white chocolate scone post) was cookies! This is the first version of the brown sugar shortbread cookie recipe that I posted. I forgot how good they … More Bachelor Party Part III: Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies
Roopa I don’t know if you’ve had cardamom shortbread cookies before, but they taste like my childhood. When I picture the taste of happiness, it resembles these cookies. That could be some upbringing bias right there, but I’m OK with that. I’ve made these cookies once before, but they didn’t turn out as I’d hoped. … More Cardamom Shortbread Cookies: V2
Alana For my last day of preceptorship, aka my final nursing practicum (which I was done in July might I add), I brought in cookies for all of the unit staff. Normally I would have spent some more time on a baking project, but I didn’t have time to make anything prior to the night … More White Chocolate Blueberry Cookies
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
