Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! I don’t know about you, but January just felt really slow. While I don’t wish away any season, with the ice storm and then the snow storm we had in Charlotte (11 inches! what a record), I’m ready for a little bit of warmer weather. The…
Fall is my favorite season. The kaleidoscope of colors never ceases to amaze me each year. And it’s this time of year that I want hot apple cider and anything pumpkin. For these cookies the flavor was pumpkin spice latte, and they tasted so good! (My new fall favorite!) For…
My mom turned 70 this past February and it pained me that I was not able to celebrate with her in person. When she turned 60, my dad and I put on a surprise birthday party for her and it was so much fun! We moved across the country in…

It has the weirdest title, I know. But here me out–these are one of the best cookies I’ve ever made. They are slightly crunchy on the outside, but nice and chewy on the inside. They are simple to make and require ingredients you probably already have in the pantry. My…
With May 4th being tomorrow, I thought I’d get a set of Star Wars cookies on the blog. I made these a few years back for my son, who is a big Star Wars fan. They were a fun set to make. Here are some close-ups of each cookie. Matthew’s…
