Sometimes, you just feel like making cookies from scratch. And you have cookie cutters to represent the states you live in. And so you make state-shaped cookies from scratch. What?

This was one of those weekends that managed to strike JUST the right balance of fun, productivity, and relaxation. They are rare, but OH how I love them. Pre-weekend, I presented at a small conference on Friday here in Columbus. Lots of schools from across the state were represented, and we ended the day in… Continue reading Weekend in Review
T-7 days until Christmas! Allow me to re-share some of the prettiest cookies I’ve made! And received some of the best compliments for. If royal icing wasn’t such a process, I’d totally be doing things like this more often…

Happy Friday! For our housewarming party (now almost two weeks ago!) I decided to have a little fun and try something new. I have had these great WI and TN cookie cutters since our summer trip to Wisconsin, and felt like there could be no better time to use them than for a housewarming in… Continue reading State Cookies + Royal Icing
Senior year of college, our suite-mate Sam made THE most killer peanut butter blossom cookies (Sam, give a shout out if you're reading this). She was kind enough to share her recipe with us, and from time to time I love to pull out this classic cookie favorite. Please enjoy! Ingredients: 1 3/4 c. flour… Continue reading Peanut Butter Blossoms
