Not So Regular Cookies

Here she is folks, my signature chocolate chip cookie!
-
A rich, salty, thick and chewy cookie with crisp edges and a deep buttery flavor complimented by a citrus top note.
-
Making the decision to move away from Royal Icing and back to the type of baking I truly love was pretty easy. But creating recipes that are completely mine, something I can be proud of, and incredibly delicious…. That’s been very hard.

But this cookie is perfect and I can’t wait for you to try it!

The logistics of what my relaunch will look like are still getting ironed out but you can be certain these will have a permanent place on my menu and you can expect to see them offered in half dozen and whole dozen increments for “Santa Cookies” right when you need them!
-
Thanks for joining me on this ride, I’m so excited about what’s next!

I’ve been scribbling notes about this cookie in the back of my recipe sketch book since the beginning, and I promise you’re going to want to stick around for it.

The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are l***y enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious.

Slavic peoples get their physical characteristics from potatoes, their smoldering inquietude from radishes, their seriousness from beets.

The beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer. You can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip...

The beet is the murderer returned to the scene of the crime. The beet is what happens when the cherry finishes with the carrot. The beet is the ancient ancestor of the autumn moon, bearded, buried, all but fossilized; the dark green sails of the grounded moon-boat stitched with veins of primordial plasma; the kite string that once connected the moon to the Earth now a muddy whisker drilling desperately for rubies.

The beet was Rasputin’s favorite vegetable. You could see it in his eyes.

The rice crispy treat is a long time family tradition.
I remember being very small and sitting on the counter and helping my mom stir.
Any day of the week and any time of the day or night we could be found barefoot and sitting on the counter eating rice crispy treats straight out of the pot while they were still warm.
-
As an adult this is my go to treat to make for my kiddos friends and for homeschool parties and it’s by far my favorite treat to experiment with, and boy howdy have I made some WILD rice crispy treats!
You can expect to see random ones pop up here and there but THIS “Campfire Rice Crispy Treat” will have a permanent home on my menu once I relaunch in December and I cannot wait for you to try her.

I wasn’t going to post these. I decided that this is not their final form.
The recipe still needs some tweaking but I’ve been a little stumped trying to get them over the hump.
-
The truth is tho they are really really really delicious, and deserve their moment on the stage even if they are still
Mid-evolution.
-
So for now heres my chocolate chip cookie, fancy name still pending, but will definitely be included in my
Winter Collection.
So keep watching!
❤️🍪❤️🍪❤️

Introducing:
Baby’s first lemon curd.
I know I know, it’s not a cookie.
It will be.
I also know this is a summer treat, not a fall treat.
We will get there.
You gotta trust the process.
You’ll never guess where this is taking me.
👀👀👀👀
-
Got my eyes on that December relaunch!
-

My first baby is having a baby and I made some cookies for her… some meaning 8 dozen lol
-
I’m not taking orders yet but I can’t say no to family lol, keep your eyes on the horizon for a December relaunch.
❤️❤️❤️

Had some short bread cookies come out the oven a little too crispy, but then I threw some gooseberry jam and icing on them and called them nachos….
LET ME TELL YOU
DELICIOUS

When my friend Kimberly texted me saying she was thinking about moving back home, of course my first thought was a party! I was like “if you can wait till the holidays we can do a final Christmas pop up together!!!” And I had decided without consulting her lol that all of my treats were going to be inspired by her work and it would be a Capital City Bakers Alliance bakery mashup. This is the cookie I designed, A Christmas sweater with her logo.
-
Life has a way of sometimes taking the reins and her move happened sooner than my heart was ready for.
And that’s ok, because in this late stage capitalist hell hole we are here to help eachother find peace and sometimes the call of home is the only call we answer.
-
Mid City Bakery was my VERY FIRST bakery friend online and in real life. And we’ve been rooting for eachother since the beginning, and that’s not going to stop now.
Kimberly Fansler I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see what’s next!!!
This is your cookie, maybe one day I will make it and mail it to you lol
Love you so big

Ps i don’t even own this cutter, I’m a dreamer not a realist. lol

Sweet Potato Cornbread Cookie… I’m still perfecting the aesthetic on that marshmallow char. But this cookie f@%king SLAMS.
-
I’ve been dreaming up this cookie for about 2 years, and having a laundry list of chores to avoid today really inspired me to experiment!
And it was so worth it.
-

This is a shortbread and gooseberry sandwich cookie.
I’ve been day dreaming a linzer cookie concept but I’m not crazy about the linzer cookie recipes I was finding. My momma LOVED a short bread cookie, so I started there.
And let me tell you, it was the right choice.
It may be a shock to you but I’m not a big cookie eater, I’m pretty particular. I ask ALOT of a cookie, and I could have sat down and eaten this whole dozen without hesitation.
-
Stay tuned for more workshopping as I prepare for a December relaunch 👀👀👀👀
You don’t want to miss this!

Shout out to my sous chef Amanda Wampler couldn’t have done it without them.
