18th century sugar wafer cookies
This came to me through YouTube as a “recommended for you” video on the side panel. (Sometimes they get it right with recommendations! Aren’t you even a little curious about how cookies were made in 1734?) My first thought when I took these out of the oven was, How on Earth did they know to beat…

milk and honey cookies
Lattemiele. Milk and Honey Cookies. You may have seen these at Trader Joe’s. (or Trader Giotto’s.) Naturally, I had to see if I could replicate or approximate them at home. The first step was to check and see if there was a recipe available online. At first, nothing came up, just a lot of reviews for the…

cranberry shortbread bars
As I went to the grocery store to buy fresh cranberries for this recipe, it dawned on me that this was the first time ever to use fresh cranberries in anything! I’ve purchased the premade cranberry sauce for numerous Thanksgivings. I drank a lot of cranberry juice, but never have I used the fresh kind! So…

cherry wink cake bars
Cherry winks are popular holiday cookies originating in the US in the 1950s. This cookie usually calls for a maraschino cherry in the center of each cookie with Kellogg’s Corn Flakes® cereal coated around the sides of the cookie and baked. I instead chose to use sour cherries and fine cornmeal in a cake, still topping it with…

pine nut rosemary cookies
Finally, we reached the home stretch. Election day is tomorrow. The narcissistic circus peanut will hopefully be a thing of the past, and we could repair our relationships with those that looked to him as some sort of savior and move on. That is my hope anyway. I feel as though this presidential election has…

Snickers Cookies
Every year that we are in a new apartment building where there are some kids (we’ve moved 6 times in the last decade!), we always buy a bag of bite-sized candy bars, just in case we get a trick-or-treater or two. And of course, this being Seattle, we never get any trick-or-treaters, so we end up with a…

matcha cookies and cream cookies
Ever since a few years back when I tried the cookies and cream version of polvoron in the PI, I’ve been wanting to add crumbled up cookies and cream as an added ingredient in different recipes. Especially when I feel the combination would go well, either by color and/or taste. This is not polvoron but it…

PB&J Cookie Cups
I basically took a pb&j blondie recipe I’ve been eyeing, from Bon Appetit, added some toasted rolled oats, and converted them into cookie cups, increasing the roasted peanuts and jelly per (blondie) cookie. The result is a very addictive, moreish recipe that’s easy to make right away with minimal effort. Enjoy! PB&J Mini-Cookie Cups (makes 24 mini…

tortas de aceite
Olive Oil Anise Flatbread. A few days ago, Ben came home with this package of Cookies imported from Seville, Spain. Tortas de Aceite, Ines Rosales. The Original Tortas, (or so it said on the package.) Even from just the packaging, the lettering, the feel of each individual cookie under each wax paper-like wrapper, I knew these…
