My good friend Kathryn loves to bake and we decided to bake some Gingerbread Cookies before Christmas this year over Zoom! We met up virtually in the afternoon to make the dough itself, then let it sit for a few hours before reconvening at night to roll out the dough, bake it and then decorateContinue reading “Gingerbread Cookies”

Whipped Shortbread Cookies
For our first official virtual Baking with Friends session, we baked Whipped Shortbread Cookies. It was a relatively easy recipe to make with a few easy steps. The cookies themselves just melt away in your mouth and we made them festive by adding fun holiday sprinkles to the cookies. The recipe makes 24 cookies butContinue reading “Whipped Shortbread Cookies”
Fresh Strawberry Cake
Summer=Strawberries! For this recipe, we wanted to bring back the OG Baking with Friends crew! We have been baking with Stephanie and Magaly for many years now and we wanted to bake together. We all had fresh strawberries and the other ingredients so we thought this would be the perfect summer baking we could doContinue reading “Fresh Strawberry Cake”
Baking During a Pandemic
Typically during December of every year, as we get closer to the new year, we start to think things like “how will I improve next year? How will I become a better version of myself in the new year? What goals will I try to accomplish?” And prior to such an epic year as 2020??Continue reading “Baking During a Pandemic”
Butterless Snickerdoodles
Ah, another. missing ingredient during a pandemic: butter! This recipe to be pretty straightforward (plus it’s super fun to roll around the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar mix!). But really do follow the instruction at the end to not overcook, or they will be hard! Also, my mom got creative this time andContinue reading “Butterless Snickerdoodles”

Nutella Cookies
My sister, Laura, and I wanted to do cookies again since they’re really easy to make, don’t take much time in the oven, and are perfect quarantine anxiety relievers (for the few seconds that they take to chew). Laura had some Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter that she was trying to figure out how to useContinue reading “Nutella Cookies”
M&M Cookies for Easter
Easter 2020, the first holiday of the quarantine that I could not spend with my family *sigh*. Even though I moved to NYC from my hometown a couple of years ago, I always find a way to be together with my family for birthdays and holidays. But given the stay-at-home orders in place to preventContinue reading “M&M Cookies for Easter”
Nutella Donut Sandwiches
So I purchased a container of Nutella a while back and I was super excited about it. But the days kept passing by and I kept putting off doing something with it. TBH the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Nutella is a crepe with Nutella, strawberries, and bananas and there’sContinue reading “Nutella Donut Sandwiches”
