Okay, so, I’ve been seeing these cookie croissants all over the place, and I just had to try making them myself. Cookie dough? Good. Croissants? Also good. What happens when you put them together? I decided to find out. Getting Started First, I grabbed some store-bought croissants. You could totally make your own, but honestly, who has the time? Then I whipped up a batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough. Nothing fancy, just the usual ingredients: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and a whole lot of chocolate chips. I…

Okay, so, get this – I’m going to CookieCon 2025 in Reno! I know, right? It’s like a dream come true for anyone who’s obsessed with cookies. I started to plan this journey last month. First things first, I checked out the schedule. They put up a tentative one, you know, subject to change and all that. But it gave me a good idea of what to expect. The event is going to be from March 26-29 at the Peppermill Resort. So many cool things are planned, like specific demos…

Okay, let’s talk about that catered dinner party I threw at my place last weekend. It was a bit of a project, but it turned out pretty great, so I thought I’d share how it all went down. First thing I did was figure out who I was inviting. I mean, you gotta know your crowd, right? This time, I kept it to a small group, just close friends. Made a list, sent out invites—nothing fancy, just a quick message to everyone. I picked a Saturday ’cause, you know, no…

Okay, guys, let’s talk about something that has been on my mind lately – the cookie butter latte. It sounds kind of fancy, but trust me, it’s not rocket science. I’ve been experimenting with this one for a bit, and I think I’ve finally cracked the code to making a pretty decent one at home. Getting Started First off, you need to gather your ingredients. Nothing too crazy here. We’re talking about some strong coffee or espresso, milk (whatever kind you like, I don’t judge), cookie butter (obviously), and a…

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some gluten, dairy, and sugar-free desserts lately. It all started when my friend told me she was going on this super restrictive diet for health reasons. I thought, “No way am I giving up sweets!” So, I started digging around for alternatives. First, I looked up a bunch of recipes online, but honestly, most of them looked either too complicated or just plain boring. I wanted something that actually tasted good, you know? Not like cardboard. I remembered seeing a recipe for a…

Okay, so, you guys know I’ve been trying to eat better lately. A big part of that was cutting out gluten, dairy, and sugar. I know, I know, it sounds like a nightmare, right? Especially when it comes to desserts. I mean, what’s life without a little sweetness? But I was determined to find a way to make it work, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the adventure in the kitchen. I started by looking up some recipes online, but honestly, most of them were, well, not great….

So, the other day I was chatting with my buddy, and he mentioned something called “cookie bite hearing loss.” I was like, “What in the world is that?” Turns out, it’s a real thing! It got me curious, so I started digging around to learn more. I decided to dive deep into this “cookie bite” thing. First, I hit up the internet, you know, the usual Google search. I found out that it’s basically when you can’t hear sounds in the middle range very well. Imagine someone talking or music…

So, I heard about this thing called a “cookie backpack.” Sounds kinda weird, right? Like, why would you put cookies in a backpack? But it got me thinking, and I figured I’d try to make one myself. First, I needed a backpack, obviously. I did some digging around online, you know, just to see what kinds of backpacks are out there. There are a ton! I saw names like Aer, Timbuk2, and a bunch of others. Seems like everyone and their mother makes a backpack these days. Anyway, I ended…

Alright, so I’ve been messing around with my Dutch oven a lot lately, and let me tell you, it’s not just for stews and bread. I’ve discovered a whole world of desserts you can whip up in this thing. Today, I’m gonna walk you through some of my favorite Dutch oven dessert experiments. Getting Started First off, I got my Dutch oven nice and hot. I usually just toss it on a small pile of coals if I need to brown something first. It gets real hot, real fast, so…

So, I’ve been seeing these chocolate chip cookie dough Pop-Tarts all over my social media feeds lately, and I gotta say, I was intrigued. I mean, who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies and Pop-Tarts? It’s like a match made in junk food heaven. I had to try them out myself and give you guys the lowdown. First off, I went on a mission to find these bad boys. I checked a few of my regular grocery stores, but no luck. Feeling a bit bummed, I went online and saw people…
