Regular readers! Hello! It’s been a hot minute since I had a recipe to share due to a tumultuous summer and many new life developments. One of my newest adventures is pursuing the tutelage of English as a foreign language. I’m taking a series of online seminars to learn pedagogy and, specifically, how to teach

While we’re playing catch-up with the recipes I made and never sat down to write up, I may as well feature my 2021 holiday addition! I was told that these cookies were as good as, if not better than, store-bought white choc macadamia cookies, which is pretty high praise in my book. They’re soft, chewy,

Welcome back! Happy New Year! Once again, I’d like to apologize for the hiatus. As ironic as it may seem, I, a food blogger, have been struggling with eating. As a result, my cooking has been somewhat irregular and generally catered to not making my stomach hate me — which, also ironically, this recipe absolutely

First and foremost: Sorry about the hiatus. I’ve been battling some mental health struggles and working myself to the bone trying to finish my backyard landscaping in time to get my onions, beans, peas, etc. in the ground in time. I’m still here! I just miscalculated how much of a backlog of posts I had

These cookies are about as classic as you can get outside of chocolate chip and sugar cookies. Hershey’s kisses sitting atop a soft bed of pillowy peanut butter send so many childhood memories flooding back. They’re delicious both before and after the chocolate has set, and it’s so easy to eat a whole dozen all

If there’s a cookie to bake a double or triple batch of this season, it’s these peppermint mocha cookies. They’re the perfect balance of cocoa, sugar, and mint to make every day seem like a cozy Currier & Ives kind of winter day. They do have a refrigeration period, so unfortunately (or maybe it’s for

I’m not normally a fan of sugar cookies, but I made these by request for a family member, and I found that they really grew on me. The flavor is subtle, and the texture is incredibly delicate. Despite the delicious, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth feel of these cookies, they’re plenty durable and will hold up to clumsy

Christmas cookies are a huge part of this time of year for me. I’ve always been a big baker around the holidays thanks to the influence of my Nana and my mom, but now that I’m on my own, I’ve found more freedom to experiment with different recipes. We always had our staples of anisettes

If you’ve been around Apartment Eats for a little while, you might recall our apple butter post from last year. If you’ve been around even longer than that, you might remember our substitutions post from several years ago. Today, we’re going to put both of those posts to work with these amazing drop cookies. They’re

Cardamom is one of those spices I have in my collection that doesn’t get used a whole lot. It’s very floral, incredibly pungent, and kind of medicinal-tasting if you use too much of it. I’ve made cardamom cookies before, and while I loved them, Hubby wasn’t as much of a fan. They were crumbly and
