Wee-hoo they have finally seeded!!! Now we need to pray for rain, because we are not watering 1.5 acres! In related news, we are also praying for rain because we attempted our first transfer of a volunteer tree on our property. I’ve been thinking about trees a lot lately, given this huge blank slate I…
Bizcochitos
I love saying that word. Mind you, I probably don’t say it correctly, but still, say it with me: beez-ko-chee-tos! OK and now the Spanish speakers can come and tell me what I did wrong. Why oh why when I was a know-it-all 8th grader could not some one have told me that Spanish would…
Why Have I Never Tried Lemon Sugar Cookies For Painting Before?
I’ve mentioned before that even though decorating cookies is my number one kid craft of choice, I don’t really like eating painted sugar cookies. The texture is usually too cardboard-y for me and the icing is always too sweet. Nonetheless, it is something we kids LOVED doing every single Christmas and today I paint cookies…
Laura Went To Pittsburgh, And All She Left Us Was… Deep Chocolate Sables
But Deep Chocolate Sables are not so bad, no? This is the 3rd of the trio of cookies I am taking to our various relatives this weekend. This cookie is seriously chocolatey without being super rich. They invite comparison to World Peace Cookies, but honestly they would lose that match. But they are still a…

This is one of those cookies that is chock full of good things–to the extent that you are not sure what to call them. Cinnamon Pumpkin Oatmeal Oat Bran Pecan Breakfast Cookies with Cinnamon Chips? I invented them because I love cookies. Much like muffin people are just cake lovers in disguise, I wanted a…
Best Peanut Butter Blondie EVER
You know I am not a fan of proclaiming various cookies or desserts The Best Ever.But my gosh if this does not come close to the Best Peanut Butter Blondie EVER. Even if Lisa Yockelson calls it something else! (Laura’s note June 7, 2014: this recipe is so awesome I made it again, with better…
Of Birds & Cookies: Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Have you ever noticed the insane myriad of approaches to making cookies that contradict one another? Sherry Yard says if your chocolate chip cookies fail your butter was too warm/soft. Alice Medrich says chocolate chip cookies should only be made with melted butter. That NY Times recipe (the only one of the previous 3 to earn my…
Dreaming Of Mandelbrot & Making Brownie Biscotti
Before I forget (which I say because I already did once and am now revising this post), I have updated pictures for you. What a mud pit! I am rather terrified when I think of living without a lawn until spring with 3 large (and 1 of them geriatric) dogs. Thanks goodness we…
Espresso Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot For The Troops
Will you forgive me for sharing a recipe without pictures? A Christmas cookie recipe, no less? See, on Wednesday my mom got here and we frantically started packing the house. She left on Thursday, and I spent Thursday and Friday baking what felt like a billion cookies, for a cookie swap and for a soldier…
