First off, and entirely unrelatedly, click here for a couple images of what astronauts have eaten at different points in NASA’s history. I think it’s pretty cool! And on to the recipe! These cookies were nicely soft, and I think … Continue reading →

Gluten Free Boston Cream Pie

Posted on February 6, 2013 by sparecake

Starting to get a bit more interesting with the gluten free things (although this will be the last gf post for a week or two, as I’m mid-vacation, staying with a variety of non-gf folk). Can’t just eat cookies forever! … Continue reading →

Mint Chocolate Cookies

Posted on January 11, 2013 by sparecake

After last week’s floor hockey game, a few of my teammates mentioned that mint chocolate is their favorite flavor. I figured I’d make some Thin Mints this week for play offs, but realized at the last minute we didn’t have … Continue reading →

Tunnel of Fudge Cake

Posted on January 9, 2013 by sparecake

I have a whole bunch of bookmarked recipes that I’ve been putting off for months/years because they require Dutch processed cocoa powder, and I couldn’t be bothered to get it. But that changed recently (immediately before those truffle cookies…) and … Continue reading →

Cocoa Cookies

Posted on January 4, 2013 by sparecake

I started off yesterday looking for a simple cookie that wouldn’t require anything I didn’t have in arm’s reach. After baking I decided to jazz them up a bit, although still kept to stuff that was already in the kitchen … Continue reading →
