The Shookie Cookie

Top Ten (possible) Frequently Asked Questions Why did you pick cookies as the topic of your blog? 🤔🤔 I picked cookies for two reasons. One, being that it, for the most part, has been very easy to post content about cookies. I mean only a handful of people don't like them. Second , I panicked when being asked to pick a topic and that was the first thing that popped into my brain. I had to rationalize it later.       2. If you aren't passionate about cookies, what are you passionate about? That's an excellent question! I will post more links about ways to get to know me better, but in short I am passionate about many things. I love to write and read; stories make me happy. I also really love advocating for LGBT things. I am in the MATA group, which does work with Transgender Awareness and support. The last really big thing I love is music, the way it speaks to people, is incredible. Anyway, those topics I felt would be hard to blog about because t...

For this blog post, I have quite a fun bunch of information to share! My task was to compare two things that are related to my topic of cookies. Thus, I figured with Thanksgiving at the end of this week, what better thing to compare than baking the cookies themselves! My mother and I went head to head in a BAKE OFF. We each scoured the internet for the most interesting cookie recipes the world had to offer and we picked Crinkle Cookies!   These decadent cookies are  double chocolate cookies rolled in powdered sugar.

So when comparing my mothers cookies to my own we made many observations about our differences. First in foremost, one big difference between my mothers cooking and my own was how we made the dough. I've always stirred most things with just my muscle and a spoon. However, it would seem ...

W elcome back to the shookie cookie blog, and today this blog post will my reaction to some news I saw recently! The New York times posted an article earlier this month on  T he Rounds , a new cookie made in Brooklyn, at the Restaurant Pilotworks. The owner was going to release these cookies for sale in the restaurant but suddenly they were forced to close indefinitely.You would think that the pastry would stop there, but when the chef found a new independent kitchen to sell her cookies, and soon after they started sweeping the city. The Rounds are a soft, circular, buttery cookie that is coming in very interesting flavors. The flavors are  Parmesan-olive, Cheddar-chive and anchovy-scallion!  What the hell? Some other notable  weird cookie flavors  are Avocado, Chile, Banana, or Olive Oil. These cookies stemmed from the idea that the ingredients we cook with we should also be aloud in baking recipes as well. This kind of baking, while celebrat...
