Pfeffernüsse
Every Christmas growing up, my mom would painstakingly make cookies that we called Peppernuts. They were a household favorite, but the only thing we didn’t like about these cookies is that they have to “age”—it’s pretty much the only cookie that gets better with time. So we would have to wait a week, while looking at…

Coconut Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies
These incredible cookies were first discovered by our sister Kristin who became obsessed with them at the Nordstrom’s Cafe here in coastal Orange County – they are called the “Nordie” and they are such a sensational combination with crunchy, chewy, sweet, salty and chocolatey cookie perfection. It took her a number of trials and errors…

Wheat Germ Chocolate Chip Cookies
I realize that this is going to be a bold statement, so you might want to sit down. This is my ALL-TIME favorite cookie. I even posted this recipe twice on my old blog, because it went through quite a few iterations to reach Peak Cookie. It’s inspired by a favorite cookie from Specialty’s in SF that my friend…

Butterscotch Cookies
I’m more than a little obsessed with cookies. I rarely crave candy—when I want carbs, I want it to have flour and sugar and butter. I know, I know, you can’t stand what a health nut I am! Now is the time where I tell you what diet I’m on and how great it is.…

Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons
It’s hard to believe that I didn’t like coconut when I was younger. The Mounds bar was one of the most dreaded Halloween candies (besides Circus Peanuts, let’s be real). I hated the texture and couldn’t get past it. I’m not actually positive as to when I hit the turning point in my relationship with coconut,…

Fake It’s-It: A study in Ice Cream Sandwiches
Anyone who is from the Bay Area knows a few irrefutable facts. 1) Frisco is not a word and we won’t hear it, 2) Layers are EVERYTHING (and you’ll hear the word “microclimate” often), 3) BART is not just the name of a cartoon character, and 4) The REAL San Francisco Treat is not Rice-a-Roni… it’s…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Panko Cookies
Of all the sweet treats in the world—of which I love SO many—I think the chocolate chip cookie is my Number One choice. There’s something about it that is so comforting and just the perfect morsel of goodness. They are sweet with a little bit of salt, they have incredible texture, and are easy to…

Levain Chocolate Chip Cookie Copycat
Recently I was asked by a friend for recommendations of what to eat in New York, and without hesitation, I told him Levain Bakery. Their cookies are the stuff of dreams and legends. I was so jealous and overwhelmed with an insatiable desire to consume these magical cookies, so I scoured the internet for recipes.…

The Most Perfect Snickerdoodles
I don’t “toot my own horn” (as they say) that often, but when it comes to Snickerdoodles, I will say that you will never have a better one than my version. I like how fluffy these are, rather than the flat versions like most other ones you’ll come across. Those ones are JUST FINE, so don’t…

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think we can all agree the jet lag is kind of the worst. I have moved across the world again—back to the U.S. Needless to say, that is a very tiring and intense thing to do. Thank goodness I came straight into the loving arms of my mother’s comfort food. While I’ve been recovering and dealing…
