We are no strangers to chocolate chip cookies–over the years since we first started baking, we’ve tried out so many recipes. A freshly baked chocolate chip cookie is probably both of our favorite desserts, and our younger brothers are equally obsessed! Our favorite everyday recipes include, more recently, this and, formerly, this; both are great. Sometimes, though,…

Eggnog Snickerdoodles
I know Christmas is over and most of you are probably no longer in Christmas baking mode, but I thought I’d share these cookies we made on Christmas Eve anyway just because they’re awesome! Snickerdoodles have always been one of my (Celine) favorite cookies. This eggnog-flavored version, which has nutmeg and rum extract to add…
Strawberry Lemonade Cookies
We’ve made a lovely strawberry frosting before, and while it is amazing and just right for frosting on a cake, it’s difficult to get a lot of strawberry flavor into the frosting without compromising the texture and thinning it out (unless you want to use some sort of artificially-flavored strawberry something, which we generally don’t…
Homemade Thin Mints
Leah and I were Brownies for about two weeks when we were little, and that has been the limit of our Girl Scouting experience. This does not mean we haven’t purchased an overpriced box or two of Girl Scout cookies now and then subsequently. I’ve spent far too much money on them and to be…
The Best Gingersnaps
I should probably be working on college applications instead of writing a blog post about gingersnaps, but sometimes my priorities are less mature than they should be. I won’t be too hard on myself about it, because these gingersnaps are seriously amazing! Plus, taking breaks participating in hobbies like baking/blogging helps give me the mental…
Brown Sugar Cookies
We attend a small Catholic school run by nuns (although there are not too many of them! I’ve only had one teacher who is a nun). The retired nuns from the order that runs our school live in their own retirement home nearby, and our school has a service club that visits them every now…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies
It’s yearbook deadline week, which means one thing…hours of work! (And therefore, very short blog posts.) Sadly, I won’t have time for making delicious cookies like these. But you might! And these cookies really are amazing. Peanut butter-chocolate chip dough is smooshed together with chocolate-chocolate chip dough to make a beautiful swirled cookie. I made…
Espresso Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
We are both tea people. It probably is hereditary, considering that our mom has two full drawers in our kitchen filled with tea (and this is after she cut down her supply quite a bit!), a shelf of unique tea pots she has collected, and a collection of pretty tea cups. In my opinion, there…
Snickerdoodles
Hi everyone, and sorry again for the rather intermittent posting! We have both been so tied up with homework, after-school activities, and college applications (not that they’re done…) that blog posting has been on the back burner. Never fear, though- this weekend, after the SATs on Saturday, we plan to do a lot of cooking…
Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Our blog is officially one year old today! (Here’s our first post, if you would like to see…although there isn’t much to it.) It has been a good year full of great food. We would like to thank any readers for taking the time to read our posts, and like them or comment on them….
