Vanilla Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies

February 17, 2016

Is it grey and rainy where you are? This weather is what I would expect London to be like- except colder. Everyone rushing around, sloshing around in the sludge accumulating at various street intersections; white knuckles from clutching their jackets closed as the wind rustles their hair. But one of the best parts about cold and rainy ...

Hamantaschen Cookies with Orange Mascarpone Filling

March 3, 2015

What are hamantaschen cookies, you ask? Jewish hamantaschen cookies are shaped like a three-cornered hat representative of Haman’s hat and eaten for the Purim holiday. And this year, Purim falls on Wednesday, March 4th. And what is a better way to celebrate than by making these delicious cookies? They are like shortbread cookies with a ...

Gingerbread Skor Biscotti

December 13, 2014

Gingerbread has the winter holiday season written all over it. It resides in the nooks and crannies of its bubbly texture, intermingling with the warm spices and sugar, and disperses into the air with each gentle snap of a bite. But I decided that this year I wasn’t just making gingerbread men or cake. I was going to make gingerbread ...

Dead-Easy Banana Chocolate Cookies

April 5, 2014

I went to the gym this morning. And that was about all I accomplished. When I was at University, I managed to workout 4-5 days a week no-problem. But now, in the working world, I can barely fit in two workouts a week! I refuse to think this is because I am getting older. It must be something in my diet or sleep (right?). So, in search of my ...

Chewy Chocolate Coconut Cookies

February 26, 2014

I love cookies. I love them with oatmeal because it offers a yummy chewy texture. It is a constant battle with Ben, who is determined to rid “healthy” ingredients from otherwise perfectly delicious cookies. He likes his sugary and buttery and without les flocons d’avoine. Oh boy, did I show him. These oatmeal chocolate ...

Italian Polenta Cookies

August 4, 2013

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and buttery. And by that I mean, a hint of sugar, and lots of creamy buttery deliciousness. Don’t get me wrong, these cookies are extremely light on the tongue and they even melt in your mouth. The lemon zest adds a lightness that pairs beautifully with the slightly crispy cookie edge. They ...

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 1, 2013

When I was younger, I used to get frustrated with my chocolate chip cookies. I would follow the recipe so carefully, I knew not to over-mix the batter… and yet I still always ended up with really flat cookies. I always wanted ones that were slightly cakier and thicker, like in the windows of the various bakeries I had seen, and less ...

Double Chocolate Dream Cookies

February 26, 2013

Cookies are one of my favourite treats- they’re perfectly portioned (large is a portion!) and can come in a variety of textures and flavours. But one particular kind of cookie always seemed lackluster to me: double chocolate cookies. You would think that a cookie with cocoa in the batter and chunks of melty chocolate throughout would ...
