birthday biscotti
This is a recipe for biscotti that is adaptable for other add ins. I simply wanted to celebrate my **th birthday, so I thought adding 1/4 cup of sprinkles would do the trick.

18th Century Coriander Christmas Cookies
Is there such a thing as recipe fatigue? Lately I feel drawn to recipes that are much simpler but usually have a distinctive look and/or ingredient. Like these cookies!

The world and US national news definitely felt overwhelming, and still feels overwhelming, but my personal life has been relatively good. Ben and I have been adjusting to the new permanent resident…

Guyuria
I think of this as The Chamorro cookie. It’s also spelled guguria. Initially when you try it, you may not be impressed. But they grow on you, trust me. And soon, you are consuming more than you thought you could. Of course there are other cookies from Guam, but I think if people from Guam…
