Cookies

Okay, here is my sharing about making sourdough discard blueberry cookies: So I had a bunch of sourdough discard sitting in my fridge. You know, the stuff you have to get rid of when you feed your sourdough starter? I hate throwing it away ’cause it feels like a waste. I was thinking, there’s gotta be something yummy I can make with this. I was craving something sweet, and I saw some blueberries in the fridge. That’s when it hit me – blueberry cookies! But not just any blueberry cookies,…

Today, I decided to make some snowflake cookies. I figured it’d be a fun little project, and honestly, who doesn’t love a good cookie?

Some were as cheap as $3.99, while others were going for around $27.07. I ended up finding a decent set for around $8.99. Searched online for snowflake cookie cutters. Compared prices from various online shops. Decided on…

Okay, so today I wanted to share my little adventure with grabbing cookies from the “smzdm” website. You know, “smzdm”, that Chinese website for great deals. It’s a bit of a story, so grab a snack and let’s go. First off, I tried using the Alook app. I heard it’s a good way to get cookies that last for a whopping 60 days. Sounds pretty good, right? But here’s the thing, if the website’s cookies don’t work, then you gotta go for the mobile version. I don’t have an Android…

Alright, let’s talk about those smiley face cookies I made the other day. I saw some pictures online and thought, “Hey, those look fun, why not?” So I decided to give it a shot. First, I prepared the dough. I just followed a simple cookie recipe. Nothing fancy, you know? Then came the fun part – shaping the cookies. I rolled out the dough and used a round cookie cutter to make the basic shape. I aimed for about 2-inch cookies, seemed like a good size. Next up, I preheated…

Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with this book called “Smart Cookie.” I’d heard some good things about it, and figured, why not? I grabbed a copy and started flipping through it. First off, it’s a kids’ book, but don’t let that fool you. It’s got this sweet little story about a cookie who’s not feeling too smart in school. This cookie, it’s all sprinkled and cute, but it’s having a tough time. I thought, “Man, I can relate to that,” even though I’m way past school age….

Alright, let’s talk about these peanut butter cookies. I decided to whip up a small batch the other day, ’cause, you know, sometimes you just need a cookie, but not a whole army of them. So, I gathered my stuff. Flour, sugar, butter, an egg, and of course, the star of the show, peanut butter. Oh, and don’t forget some baking soda and a pinch of salt. I started by creaming together the butter and sugars. I used both white and brown sugar, ’cause I like that little bit of…

Okay, so today I wanna talk about this whole Shawnee Mammy cookie jar thing. I’ve been seeing these things pop up all over the place lately, and they’ve really caught my eye. So, I decided to dive in and see what the deal was. First, I started with just basic Google searches like “Shawnee cookie jars” and “Mammy cookie jars”. I found out that these Shawnee Pottery folks were around from like 1937 to 1961, so we’re talking some real vintage stuff here. And apparently, their cookie jars are a…

So, my wife wanted to make some cookies for St. Patrick’s Day, but guess what? Out of all her cookie cutters, she didn’t have a shamrock one. Can you believe it? I mean, who doesn’t have a shamrock cookie cutter? Anyway, I thought, “No problem, I can fix this.” I’m pretty handy with tech stuff, so I figured I’d just 3D print one for her. First things first, I hopped online and started searching for a 3D model of a shamrock cookie cutter. It took me a little while to…

So, I wanted to bake some cookies the other day, but not just any boring old cookies. I got this idea to make them fun shapes, you know? I remembered how much I loved Sesame Street as a kid, and I thought, “Why not combine the two?” That’s when I started looking for Sesame Street cookie cutters. I looked around, and let me tell you, there are tons of options out there. But I finally found this set of 5 cookie cutters that caught my eye. They were in the…

Okay, so I was messing around in the kitchen the other day, and I thought, “Why not try making my own round cookie cutters?” I mean, I love baking, and having some custom shapes would be pretty cool, right? Get the Materials Ready First things first, I needed to gather my materials. I rummaged through my recycling bin and found a couple of aluminum cans – perfect! Then I grabbed some scissors, pliers, and a ruler. Oh, and some tape, can’t forget that. Cut the Cans Next up, I carefully…
