Hi Reader!

The only cookie my daughter makes
(and it’s magic 🪄)

This is a bold statement, but it’s a fact: Out of every single recipe on the blog, this is the only chocolate chip cookie my daughter, Stella, makes.

Why you’re going to love these

• Zero Stress: They go from craving to warm cookies in less than 30 minutes.
• The Secret Sauce: A smidge of olive oil keeps them impossibly soft, while a heavy hand of vanilla and the perfect brown sugar-to-granulated sugar ratio creates that deep, toffee-like magic.
• The Yield: The recipe makes 14 generous, bakery-style cookies.

What the community is saying

I hope you love them just as much as these bakers!

Coming Soon: The "Muffin Top" Loaf 🫐

I’m currently perfecting a Blueberry Muffin Loaf that is essentially one giant, fluffy muffin. It’s tender, it’s puffy, and it’s almost ready for you. Keep some blueberries (fresh or frozen) on standby—I’m tweaking it until it’s 100% perfect before it hits your inbox.

Let’s talk Book Club & 90s Vibes 📚

I’m currently reading The Correspondent: A Novel for our very first family book club in February. Even though I'm a major book nerd (I have an MA in English Lit🤓), I’ve actually only ever been to one book club meeting.

I’ve been craving 90s-era appetizers thinking they would be fun to serve...

• Spinach dip in a hollowed-out sourdough round
• Smoked Gouda (love)
• Crudités with homemade buttermilk dressing (this has been a daily snack for the past month...I can't get enough)
• I'd also love to make a soup and welcome any recommendations

Would love to hear your thoughts on all of it! What are your go-to book club snacks? Any tips for keeping the discussion lively? Have you read The Correspondence?

Hit reply and let’s chat! I read every single one of your emails.

Wishing you a peaceful (and cookie-filled) weekend! 💕
