Cookies

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, 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…

Today, I wanna talk about something that’s been getting a lot of buzz lately – “cookie bongs.” Yeah, you heard that right. It’s a thing, and it’s kinda taken the smoking world by storm. So, I got curious and decided to give it a go myself. Here’s how it all went down. First off, I had to get my hands on one of these bad boys. I did some digging and found out that these “cookie bongs” come in all shapes and sizes. Some people were raving about the “Mighty…

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, guys, let’s talk about something that I messed around with recently. It’s about that game, Cookie Clicker. You know, the one where you just click and click and get a ton of cookies? Well, I found out there’s a part called the “garden” in it, and that’s what I want to share with you all today. So, first off, I had to get into this garden thing. Turns out, you need to upgrade your farm using a “sugar lump” to unlock it. I didn’t even know what a sugar…

Okay, so, I’ve been seeing these Christmas tree cookie cutters all over the place and I finally caved. I had to get some and try them out. I went online and, man, there are so many options! You’ve got your classic gingerbread men, snowflakes, and of course, the Christmas trees. I ended up grabbing a set that had a star, a tree, and a couple of other fun shapes. The package arrived pretty fast, which was great because I was itching to start baking. I mean, who doesn’t love the…

Today, I wanna talk about something fun we did – making Christmas cookies! We got this Christmas cookie kit, and let me tell you, it was a blast. So, we grabbed this kit from the store. It had everything we needed: cookie mix, icing, sprinkles, the whole deal. The box showed these perfect-looking cookies, and we were like, “Yeah, we can do that!” First, we dumped the cookie mix into a big bowl. It was just add water situation, super easy. We mixed it all up until it looked like…

Alright, let’s talk about these chocolate chip pecan cookies I whipped up. I’ve made a ton of cookies in my time, but these? These are something else. I’m telling you, they’re a game changer. So, I started by gathering all my ingredients, you know, the usual suspects: flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and of course, chocolate chips and pecans. Mixing It Up First off, I creamed together the butter and sugars. I used both white and brown sugar because, why not? It gives the cookies that perfect chewy texture. Once that…

Today, I wanted to make something sweet and simple. So I dug up my old recipe for chocolate chip cookies but decided to give it a little twist. I remembered seeing something about adding marshmallows somewhere online, and I thought, why not? Let’s do it! First, I gathered all the stuff I needed. I got out some flour, butter, sugar, eggs, the usual cookie ingredients. Oh, and of course, chocolate chips and a bag of mini marshmallows I found in the back of the pantry. I started by creaming the…
