Since the moment I learned that you can buy cherry blossom powder online, I have been wanting to make sakura sugar cookies. But it took several tries to get the recipe right—I wanted to be able to taste the sakura without making the cookies a weird texture. Now, I’m happy to say, I’ve finally figured […]
Happy Halloween! Did you already go trick-or-treating? We’re going tonight, but we got in the spooky spirit this weekend with this toddler-approved Halloween tea party. The best news: Everything other than decorating the cookies is super easy and fast, so if you want to throw together a similar Halloween tea today—or just try one or […]
Looking for the cutest-ever tiger-striped shortbread cookies for the next Bengals game? I’ve got you. These cookies look impressive but are actually super easy. You make the dough ahead of time, refrigerate, and then slice and bake! Once the cookies are baked, you just melt some chocolate chips, dip the cookies in it, and add […]
Do y’all watch the Mandalorian? If you do, you know that Baby Yoda (who is actually not Yoda and is known as “The Child”) is absolutely adorable. So when Toby sent me a meme thing he saw on Facebook about a way to make Baby Yoda cookies, I knew I had to get on that, […]
It’s almost the Marine Corps’ birthday, and that means birthday balls, special birthday messages… and, of course, baked goods. There’s always an epic cake at the birthday ball, of course, but I like to make something festive as well. In the past, I’ve made camouflage cookies and camo cupcakes, as well as “scarlet and gold” […]
I have to apologize for not sharing these cookies with you sooner. They are amazing, and I was keeping them all to myself. Well, not totally to myself. I let my family eat some. These cookies are a much-more-delicious version of those rainbow sprinkle-covered cookies they have at bakeries–the kind that are so beautiful and […]
While I hate basically everything card companies and Hollywood studios serve to us as “romance,” I do have a soft spot for Valentine’s Day. I guess it’s all the red and pink hearts, plus the opportunity for adorable treats. This year, after I saw the super cute red heart cut-out cookies on the cover of Better Homes […]
I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use some good vibes right about now. And so, I present: unicorn and rainbow cookies. I tried some new-to-me methods when decorating these cookies, and some worked better than others. But really, how can you go wrong with unicorns and rainbows? Instead of using colored icing […]
I am totally not ready for Christmas. Toby and I were both traveling for work, and I have baked a TON of cookies for various events and other people, but the only thing we have in our house right now is some peppermint bark I made yesterday. I obviously need to get on the ball, […]
Halloween at Disneyland is an extra magical time. They have a special Halloween party (which, sadly, we never made it to), Halloween-themed treats, various Disney villians to meet and take photos with, and cool Halloween decorations throughout the park. I had never seen Nightmare Before Christmas before going to Disneyland at Halloween, but after experiencing […]
