U + U Design

Loving all these tags and personalized goods from U + U Design. Although it looks as though most of the items are for a wedding weekend- these all could be easily incorporated for any party. I think the label with the anchor is my favorite!

Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend!

Deep Dish Cookies

It's a gross, rainy day in SF...and while the majority of of the country is dreaming of summer desserts...I am back on nesting mode. I saw this Deep Dish Cookie recipe on A Cup of Jo and had to share...cannot wait to try this out.

(not going to lie- still going to bake this once it gets sunny here)

Here's the recipe.

Momofuko Cookies

I got home yesterday from the most amazing girl's weekend in New York City. Sunshine, long days of strolling, the best of friends and tons of food & bevys...I was in heaven. I truly think that NYC has some of the most incredible and inventive food (must try: amazing s'mores dessert Ditch Plains and out of this world tasting menu at 10 Downing).


One of the many highlights of the weekend was our visit to Momofuko Milk Bar. I have heard a lot of this spot- but I must admit- it exceeded all of my expectations. I ordered the candy bar pie soft serve and Ginny got the cereal milk soft serve...it was insane- Ginny's soft serve seriously tasted like the milk at the end of the bowl of cereal!!


As you all know- I am a cookie fanatic and had to give their compost cookie a try...wowow...amazing! I did some internet stalking and have found the recipe for their signature compost cookie. I am going to bake some this week and will let you know if it's as good as the real deal.


Follow this link to the recipe...let me know how it goes. I am going to put reeses butter cup, pretzels, milk chocolate and butterscotch in my batch!

Reeses Peanut Butter Surprise Cookie

I'll admit it- I am obsessed with these double stuffed cookies. I haven't actually baked any yet because I seriously don't think that I would ever stop eating them...but this recipe I found today- I am going to give it a shot. We are going to Tahoe this weekend and think these cookies would be just the perfect thing after a day in the snow. Thank You With Style & Grace for posting these Reeses Peanut Butter Surprise cookies...yuummers.

I wonder if the "Surprise" in the recipe title really is trying to say-  surprise you have gained 5 pounds!

Reeses Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies

{Recipe from Picky Palate}

Ingredients

• 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips
• Reeses Peanut Butter cups

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheets(s) with parchment paper and set aside.

Using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars until well combined.  Add eggs – one at a time and then vanilla, mix until well combined.

Mix together flour, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix in the chocolate chips. Take one scoop of cookie dough, place Reeses peanut butter cup on top and then take a second scoop of cookie dough and place on top of the Reeses. Press the cookie dough together, sealing the edges and then carefully mold into a ball.

Bake 9-13 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Enjoy!

Cookie Stuffed Cookies?!

Two cookies in one?? I am not sure what to think of these- sounds like a baking adventure, but also sounds like I would have to spend the rest of the week on the treadmill trying to work off one bite of this decadence. Although the recipe started as a cookie stuffed with an Oreo- they have also adapted the recipe to use Girl Scout Cookies...yumm!!

hello girl scout cookie.

Baby Shower

I can't believe that I am going to be an aunt in less than two months! This past weekend my mom and I threw a shower for Kristin...we had tons of fun getting everything put together and prepared for the soon to be new addition to our family. The weather was absolutely awful on Saturday- loved being inside with the fire, champagne, treats and surrounded by our family.

adorable kristin...less than 2 months to go!

I know...the apples are a bit much...but trying to spice up the Sweet Jennies photo shoots.

Seattle or Bust

I am heading up to Seattle today for a quick trip to raise a glass to the newly engaged couple, Ira & Courtney!

Katie's Birthday

Last night we celebrated one of my oldest friend's birthday...Happy 30th Katie! We had a cooking class with the amazing chef, Jan Scharetg...cosmos, pasta and prawns, flourless cake, candles and champers...the evening was a total blast! Katie is such an amazing friend and everyone had a reason to toast the birthday girl.

Sweet Jennies were served as party favors...all with personalized tags for the birthday girl.

Tuesday Night Sail

Anyone in dreary, foggy San Francisco Tuesday night would not have believed that it was absolutely gorgeous in Sausalito...just 5 miles away. We had the perfect evening on the bay...good friends, good wine...and of course good cookies...

Sweet Jennies Does Marin

We just came home from a fun Sunday night bbq in Marin with friends... Sweet Jennies was a hit for dessert. Jack and Charlie are huge fans of the milk chocolate chips cookies. Hope you all have a wonderful week! There's no better way to kick the Sunday Night Blues than with a fresh baked cookie...
