Pumpkin Ginger Snaps

Every family has at least a few recipes that have been around longer than most family members have been alive (and look like it too). My Grandma has a solid amount of these in an overflowing recipe box, one of which is an amazing ginger snap recipe. Her mom got it when my Grandma was … Continue reading Pumpkin Ginger Snaps

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had a good amount of caramel left after making the apple pie last weekend, so there was obviously only one thing to do... Make cookies. I've already elaborated about my love for sea salt in baking, but I'm super happy right now because I got an amazing Ile de Re sea salt while in … Continue reading Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

For those of you who have made herb infused syrups, you know you end … Continue reading Rosemary Duck Fat Cookies

Mad for Matcha Cookies

A few months ago I became addicted to matcha tea. It's so smooth and flavourful with a hint of natural sweetness (not to mention it just revs you up in the morning) that it's impossible not to love. Matcha Matsu from David's Tea specifically mentions blending into smoothies and milkshakes, so I thought heck, why … Continue reading Mad for Matcha Cookies
