Vanilla Macarons with Chocolate Ganache and Coffee Buttercream

September 27, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

If you like the flavors of tiramisu, you’re going to love macarons with chocolate ganache and coffee buttercream! Inspired by my first experience with opéra cake on a trip to Paris, they’re the perfect combination of delicate and decadent.

A couple years ago I spent the summer in Paris.

I rented an Airbnb, shopped in open-air markets, cooked food in the tiny galley-style kitchen, and enjoyed as many local foods (read: cheeses) as I could.

My favorite thing to do was walk around the gorgeous City of Lights and take in the stunning architecture and history. Most days I walked 8 to 10 miles! And of course stopping for a beautiful pastry on these walks was a must.…

April 16, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

This is an easy one-bowl recipe that takes just 20 minutes from start-to-finish. It’s the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate chip cookie craving! Some of my first memories of my mom involve me sitting on the kitchen counter watching her make Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Russian Tea Cakes (aka Snowball Cookies)

December 16, 2020 by Faith 138 Comments

Russian Tea Cakes are rich and buttery cookies with a texture similar to shortbread. They’re quick and easy to make and very festive coated in powdered sugar, which looks like snow! For the last day of my 7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats even, I wanted to share a cookie from my childhood. My mom has made Russian Tea Cakes/Snowball Cookies every Christmas for as long as I can remember. Which, oddly enough, has nothing to do with the fact that my family is Russian on my dad’s side and “Russian” is in the title of these cookies. (And I have no idea whether these […]...

Gingersnap Cookies Recipe (aka Gingersnaps)

December 10, 2020 by Faith Leave a Comment

Just like the name says, Gingersnap Cookies are rich with ginger and spice flavor and should be crispy enough to “snap” when they break. Sweetened with brown sugar and aromatic with warm spices, these satisfyingly crunchy Gingersnaps are a festive addition to a holiday cookie tray. Before I moved away from Buffalo, my mom, my sister, and I had a holiday tradition. A couple times a week in December we’d get together for an afternoon at one of our houses. We’d brew a pot of seasonal tea, sometime like peppermint, apple pie, or gingerbread, and munch on cookies as we chatted....

They’re perfect for any time of year, and are a fun addition to a festive holiday cookie tray. I think food-related gifts are the best gifts, whether it’s a celebratory meal you’re sharing or a plate of homemade treats. Or better yet, a tried and true family recipe. One of the biggest perks of being a food blogger is that when people hear what I do for a living, their eyes light up and their ears perk up, and they immediately ask me if I have a […]...

I made these cookies to support a very important cause: Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentines Event organized by Julie! Cookies are always good, especially if chocolate is involved! And cookies are even better if double chocolate is involved. But when cookies support a great cause, it’s the best-case scenario....

October 7, 2019 by Faith 32 Comments

Inspired by Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, these Oatmeal Cream Pies with Rum-Raisin Brown Sugar Buttercream Frosting give those classic cookie sandwiches a grown-up twist! Was anyone else a fan of the Little Debbie cream-filled oatmeal cookie sandwiches (aka Oatmeal Creme Pies) as a kid? They were a very rare treat for my sister and I! Mom never bought them, which made them all the more fun to eat at our friends’ houses when mom wasn’t around. (Shhh, lol.)...
