Coffee Cookies with Rose and Cardamom

0 comments

These coffee, cardamom, and rose cookies began—as several of my cookies do—with a conversation. Yasser and I were talking about coffee and the flavors in my current latte. He said he wanted one, and quickly revised it to needing one! That sealed the deal–it had to become a cookie, especially […]

BBQ in a Cookie? Stay With Me.

Comments are Disabled

Some recipes come from tradition. Others come from curiosity. These BBQ passionfruit cookies came from a little bit of both. This one started with Isra from Tunisia, who answered the call to help choose my next flavor. She’s already inspired one Tunisian cookie (still coming!), but this time she flipped […]

No Paycheck = Cookie Hiatus

Comments are Disabled
