Horse Cookies

I live within easy walking distance of  huge internationally known equestrian park (in Japanese).
But I almost never go there by myself, because I want my big sister with me for support: she’s the brave one around horses.
My very busy sister tells me that horses are rather fond of cookies and muffins. If I bake cookies [...]

Movie Night Cookies

We certainly thought popcorn pizza was silly. Then Teacher Sara insisted on making popcorn pizza. She said it was yummy. We still think it’s silly.
But wait.
If popcorn pizza is silly and yummy, what about…..Michael Cohen’s Movie Night Cookies!
You bake the cookies. I’ll rent the movie and help you eat the cookies, okay?

It’s a big recipe, so set aside a few for yourself to nibble on, then share [...]

Frozen ABCs

These are ice cube trays made of silicone rubber, which means you can make ice cubes with them *and* bake with them. How cool is that?

Chocolate Chip Cookies from Niigata

Setsuko from Niigata kindly sent me her chocolate chip cookie recipe. My favorite part is when she writes, “Add 200 grams (or more) chocolate chips.” When there is a choice, always always always add more.

Setsuko explains that it’s a large recipe, so if necessary, you could figure out how to make just 2 or 3 [...]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for PB and J ice cream sandwiches!

Yes, that’s right: peanut butter and jelly ice cream sandwiches! It’s a PB and J sandwich…with peanut butter cookies! And peanut butter chips! And ice cream! Did I mention the peanut butter?
I am definitely going to make these. (If you can find peanut butter ice cream for me here in Japan, you’re my new best [...]
