Over the holidays—yes, as in eight months ago—an organic foods company sent me a cookie recipe. This is Carrington Farms’ recipe and their nutrition facts. Gluten Free Chia Seed Peanut Butter Cookies Makes about 12 Cookies Preparation: 1 ½ cups Gluten Free rolled oats 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour 1 ½…
You have got to be kidding me. In the midst of one of the greatest gourmet food and wine festivals in the country, there’s a chocolate chip cookie contest?! There’s no way I can go to this … I will eat all of the cookies and be unable to gorge myself further with fabulous food…
I really enjoy baking. I also really enjoy eating Paleo (no processed food, no grains, no dairy, no sugar), and the two are not very compatible. So I constantly quest to bake as Paleo-ish as possible. I have more failures (well, what’s a failure, really? I’ll eat it, but I wouldn’t feed it to friends)…

They make your cookie fantastic. I had the gluten-free dough, which is made with amaranth–an ancient grain that’s so super good for you.…

One of the top 10 pastry chefs in the nation, Mark Chapman, former executive pastry chef at the Driskill, schemed up Cookie Lounge as a customizable cookie shop and delivery service. Here’s the main draw: customers choose from six…
Mmmmm more cupcakes. I know I’ve blogged about quite a few cupcake places, and my reviews are usually pretty good. I mean, it’s pretty hard to screw up a cupcake. (Well, that’s not really true, because Hey! Cupcake figured out how pretty easily) But after all the buzz Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop has been getting, in…
The north location of campus-fave Tiff’s Treats doesn’t officially open until Saturday (and on Saturday, a dozen cookies are just $2, with proceeds going to Make-A-Wish and random prizes dropped in cookie boxes, so every purchase is a chance to win!), but rsvp to events@cookiedelivery.com and you’re in to the preview, where you get free…
