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. I also added slightly less sugar because I felt the sprinkles might actually contribute to the sweetness. Funfetti Biscotti. Enjoy! Happy Birthday…

pig biscotti (pigscotti)
Greetings! Happy Almost Spring! I love this time of year, mainly because the weather is really mild here in the Pacific Northwest; the heat is not here yet, but the days are not too short, either. I had just a handful of hazelnuts left (I seem to always have just a handful of them left,…

cardamom coffee cookies
Greetings! Here we are with only a few weeks left of 2021. This is usually a period of time when I sort of draw a blank when it comes to food blogging. I think it stems from not wanting to feel the pressure to have to post something festive or seasonal. The one exception though…

simple sesame cookies
These sesame cookies take less than 30 minutes to make from start to finish and do not have too many ingredients.

guava cream cheese almond cookies
Greetings! I decided to see what happens if I were to treat guava paste like almond paste, and substitute it in a recipe that calls for almond paste. I used this recipe from King Arthur flour as a guide. They turned out great! They were sweet and chewy and only slightly pink, not bright pink…

rainbow pride cookies
Happy Friday! I found a recipe that utilizes 6 egg yolks in a cookie dough HERE. Since I used the whites for the meringue in the previous post, I really needed to find something that used 6 yolks, and I didn’t want to make a custard or flan. These turned out well, I think. Just…

coffee bow ties
This is basically a cookie baked within another cookie, creating a bow tie effect. Pretty snazzy, huh? It was inspired by a recipe called Brownie Bow Ties, from the book Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies by Alice Medrich. She basically took a cream cheese cookie dough (kolacky, rugelach), but instead of filling them with…
