Chewy Brown Sugar Cookie Butter Graham Cracker Cookies

Recently, I took a two-week long trip back to school. It involved meetings with professors, tete-a-tetes with friends I hadn’t seen since the end of last term, and lots of sleepless nights. Maybe in CAPITAL LETTERS.

It was a wild, tiring, crazy trip, but the amazing thing about having so many friends is the incredible support they provide. Sometimes I seriously think they could put Wonderbra out of business…and at other times, I’m tempted to give in to the overwhelming desire for us all to just quit grad school together and start our own company called WonderBrowse, … Read more

Creamy Dreamy Oreo Cheesecake Swirl Cookies

Hang on. Let’s talk about dreamy for a minute.

Creamy Dreamy Oreo Cheesecake Swirl Cookies 12--090613

The best thing about being a single gal is that you get to dream about dreamy all day long. That new Star Trek movie with Chris Pine? Saw it. That album cover with Hunter Hayes? Downloaded it. Google searches of a young Michael Vartan? Did it. Multiple times.

     Creamy Dreamy Oreo Cheesecake Swirl Cookies 6--090613

But these cookies? Creamy AND dreamy. I mean, seriously. Because they’re filled with cream cheese, creamy Oreos, and–yes, you guessed it, more cream cheese. Cheesecake swirls, to be exact. And that incredibly soft, puffy height!

Sorry, Hunter babe.

Kahlua Espresso Cookies and a Special (Birthday) Giveaway on Facebook!

So before I get to these amazing boozed-up birthday cookies, I have an exciting announcement to make. No, Trader Joe’s didn’t sell me the rights to their amazing cookie butter, but it’s nearly as good.

 I’m celebrating my birthday this year with the launch of my very own Facebook page AND MY FIRST GIVEAWAY! (Read on for details, mateys.)

Cookie Butter Snickerdoodle Thumbprints

For those of you who have been following my recent “adventures” (or lack thereof), you’ll know that I’ve been dabbling in the cool–and more than a little creepy–world of marketing.

The first thing I learned was to frontload important things. For example: I’m considering making a Facebook page for my blog and need your feedback!

So if you could take the 10 seconds it takes to click a few buttons for my “What would you like to see on my blog/Facebook page” poll at the bottom of this entry (right before the recipe for these deliciously unique cookies), I Read more

Mocha Cookie Cheesecake Bars

Hi! Consider this an interim post. But let me explain before I get ahead of myself.

Remember my productibaking post that was meant to motivate me for my upcoming qualifying exams?

Two things:

1) Productibaking is working really, really well as a  motivational concept.

2) The actual baking, photography, and blogging–not so bueno.

Here’s the update: In addition to hitting the books full-time this summer in preparation for my oral exams this fall, for which I need to know 120+ books’/works’ worth of material, I’m working a completely, honest-to-goodness full-time internship. Hallelujah to those of you crazy (and … Read more

Best Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies

BEST. BISCOFF. CHOCOCHIPCOOKIE. Trustmeyouwannamakethis.

I rarely ever use the appellation “best.” It’s such an absolute superlative! Unless you’re Chris Pine, you probably don’t run around saying you are the world’s best-looking man.

So let me tell you now: You don’t have the world’s best chocolate chip cookie recipe unless you are eating a Best Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookie. This cookie, in fact. But I’ll return to that in a minute.

For those of you who are just joining in here (welcome!) and for those of you returning folks (welcome back!), you should know that I am an avid literary gal. My appetite for books and brownies is voracious. If it ever boiled down to choosing between (Lewis) Carroll and chocolate chip cookies, we would have a dilemma on our hands, and we’re not talking the insignificant moment of panic you experienced … Read more

NOTE: I was writing the following blog post when I learned the news about the Boston Marathon explosion. To those of you in Boston or with loved ones in Boston, you’re all in our hearts, thoughts, and sympathies. If you’d like to share your thoughts and condolences, please feel free to do so here. Boston, take care.

Instead of writing an alternate entry to commemorate the victims and their families, I have decided to go ahead and post my original entry. On a day of tragedy, there is that small hope of reminder that tells us to cling tightly to … Read more
