Alana The time period between finishing my last final (from winter semester) and starting spring term I was on the most ridiculous activity bender… mostly involving drinking. One of my more sober activities early on was thoroughly sifting through all things baking on Pinterest. I stumbled across a picture of sugar cookies filled with sprinkles, … More Confetti Whipped Shortbread Cookies
MINT CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES Roopa I had some leftover icing from these cupcakes, so I decided to make a batch of these cookies (minus the chocolate chips) and make little oreo-esque cookies!
ALMOND SHORTBREAD COOKIES Roopa I tried out the shortbread recipe from the Sprinklebakes book today, which can also be found here. I used almond extract instead of vanilla, and they turned out fantastic. They are quite easy to make, and it’s also easy to gauge when they’re done!
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
Roopa I haven’t really been trying anything new lately, so I decided to make a peanut butter chocolate cookie. They definitely turned out really soft and chewy, and have a strong peanut butter taste; they’re not bad, but they can be better. I can’t quite figure out what exactly needs to be fixed with them, … More Choco Peanut Butter Cookies
Roopa I really enjoy this recipe for a few reasons: 1) It’s really adaptable2) It’s really easy and quick3) It freezes well 4) The cookies turn out really soft and delicious Admittedly, I haven’t been experimenting much with cookies since I just love this recipe so much. It’s really easy to switch up the type of … More Go-To Cookie Recipe
MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES Roopa Just my go-to cookie recipe (but I double the vanilla, and use milk instead of eggs) with mint chocolate chips instead. [I add 1-2 tbsp of milk per egg. I add it in as the last ingredient, and add just enough to make the dough hold together.]
Roopa My friend Ashley came over today for a baking/hangout session. We’re both sort of children at heart, and she really wanted cookies, so we decided to make cookie monster cupcakes. I’ve wanted to make these for a while now, but I’ve been a bit lazy. I am pretty happy with how they turned out! … More Cookie Monster Cupcakes
Alana I’m finished my first semester of nursing FINALLY. As a post-finals/pre-Christmas celebration, Theresa, my nursing comrade, suggested a group of us get together and decorate gingerbread cookies! Gingerbread! Theresa lent me cookie cutters because I don’t have the right one to make the people, but the proportions weren’t quite right. I decided that the … More Gingerbread Cookies
COLOURFUL SPIRAL COOKIES Roopa I never really made a post specifically about these cookies, so I’m doing it a few months late. I used the recipe exactly how it is here: http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2010/01/colorful-spiral-cookies.html It was my first time rolling dough together, and I didn’t let it thaw nearly enough. I had some tears with the rolling process, … More Spiral Cookies
