Every once in a while, a recipe comes along that is so mind-blowingly scrumdiddlyumptious, it’s worth dragging yourself out of the Blogging Bogs of Banishment to post about it. This, my friends, is one of those awesome recipes.

Though I’ve never been a fan of coffee (the drink), I grew up in a household where coffee (the flavor) was the stuff of dessert legend. My grandma in particular was the Matriarch of … Read more

Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly philosophical while baking, the most curious little thoughts will drift past my mind.

What do tuxedo penguins wear to the office on casual Fridays?

Would a giraffe know what to do if you asked it to put on a necktie?

Who’s to say that birds of paradise shouldn’t actually have googly eyes?

How many scrumptious dark chocolate morsels make up each one … Read more

The post Dark Chocolate Chunk Scones with Caramel Glaze appeared first on Wallflour Girl.

I’m sorry, Ms. Jackson…These cookies are for real.

It’s very rare in our household that a new dessert becomes an instant Wallflour Boy hit. Unlike me, he prefers 2000s hip hop hits to 90s bubblegum pop and savory foods over sweet treats. There are, however, a few notable exceptions: French apple pie, cheesecake, and anything … Read more

So I happened to be reading the Wikipedia entry for the seven deadly sins the other day and realized at one point that I was making a mental checklist as I went…I’ve been known, for instance, to procrastinate going to bed because I’m too lazy to even get off the couch (sloth), and please never ask me about my utterly gorgeous … Read more

The post Chocolate Truffle Cookies appeared first on Wallflour Girl.

The first time my college roommate caught me eating her homemade caramelitas, she suggested (rather mildly) that I could just take one and eat it if I wanted. You see, she had put them in the freezer for safekeeping and invited me to help myself anytime–but in my half-hearted attempt at self-control, I politely declined her invitation every time. … Read more

Growing up, it was very easy to decide where we wanted to stay when we traveled. My brother and I were real high rollers: we liked Travelodge for the Sleepy Bears’ Den kids’ room, (which came with a free stuffed bear you could take home). We appreciated a good stay at the Circus Circus in Las Vegas, since our rooms were just a hop away from … Read more

The post DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies appeared first on Wallflour Girl.

Like any good baker, I have been on a perennial quest to discover the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe out there.

I’ve shared these perfect pudding chocolate chip cookies and my self-proclaimed favorite thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies, but I have yet to meet a cookie that fits the “bakery-style” bill quite as well as these do. Crispy edges, perfectly chewy … Read more

The holidays are here! Sorry for the shortage of posts lately: I spent the last few weeks braving REAL winter and cavorting through the chilly climes of Cancun…

Just kidding! Cancun, as you can probably imagine, was amazing, winter weather included. We spent our early December days simply basking under the tropical sun at our seaside resort, dipping our feet in the warm Caribbean waters, and trekking through some of the gorgeous intra-cavern rivers that wound their way through the old Mayan ruins in Xcaret. Needless to say, I was spoiled silly and am making a rather graceless transition back … Read more

The post The Perfect Muffin for Chocolate Lovers appeared first on Wallflour Girl.

I realize that there are a lot of things that I take for granted as an unmarried, mostly unemployed, highly mobile grad student. Free pool access, on-campus groups, friends living within walking distance, and yes–spontaneous 4 AM grocery shopping trips, apparently. Which may or may not be coupled with–ahem–the 5 AM baking sprees that yielded these chewy, amazing chocolate chip toffee walnut cookies.

On Sunday night, that’s exactly what I did. My friend and I had stayed up … Read more

It’s funny what small things can make an ordinary week great! Aside from a smattering of rain (which caught us as we walked back from Spotlight on Saturday night–and okay, it’s pouring outside right now but I love it), the weather here has been beautiful and the days have been a real lark. There’s been quite a lot of baking going on, not to mention lazing around and generally being as sloth-like a creature as humanly possible–which, if you know … Read more
