These cookies were a big hit during the “Twelve Days of Cookies” at my office. I had Day Two, and since it was pretty early on, I wanted something that was especially Christmas-y. These rich dark chocolate cookies with green pistachios and red cranberries fit the bill perfectly. The recipe is loosely adapted from a […]

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
So I haven’t been spending a ton of time in my kitchen lately (have you noticed?), but I made these this weekend and had to share the ridiculousness. We’re having a cookie-luck at work, and I had a bunch of friends over for a BBQ on Sunday, so I doubled up this recipe and used […]

Unassuming Chocolate Cookies
These little guys don’t look too threatening. But then you realize that over the course of one episode of Gossip Girl you’ve eaten approx. 57 of them. Then you remember the 1/2 cup of dough that you ate before they were even baked, and on top of that you had to eat at least 5 […]

Fat & Chewy Favorite Cookies
Warning: these cookies could cause you to gain like, 10 pounds, overnight. Just a head’s up. They’re the size of a baseball pre-cooked, an inch+ think out of the oven, and chock full of walnuts and chocolate chips. Just the way a cookie should be.
