Valentine’s Day 2014
“If I had a hammer…” goes the Pete Seeger song. Well, in the song it’s a hammer of justice, but the point of the song is love, and love means ALL kinds of love, which can sometimes be overlooked on Valentine’s. Drugstore bears and prixfixe dinner reservations are nice and all, but love is broader […]
Holiday 2013
The bizcochito gets dressed up to go to the party! Bizcochitos are traditional in New Mexico in wintertime…and all the time, since they are the official state cookie. The classic ones are made with lard and are tender and delicate and too fragile to ice with ferocity. They are wonderful, but so are these delicious […]

To make that happen, you might stop by The Chocolate Room (in Park Slope and Cobble Hill) for a hot chocolate and a Sugarbuilt cookie. Sugarbuilt cookies at The Chocolate Room are exclusively […]

Vintage Cutter Score
Love finding cool and unusual antique cutters…in this case, I think these may be from the 1930’s. One of them is not a pipe…haha… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images Axe cutters used to be more common, because people would make axe cookies for Washington’s birthday (he cut down that cherry tree) before it became a mattress sale holiday.
