Yeah culinary “authenticity” is a myth literally everywhere. It’s a ridiculous thing to police and there’s no way to even decide how far back to go before some dish counts as “authentic” because people have also always migrated like, everywhere??? I genuinely don’t get the obsession.
Oh thank you! I’ve been trying to take advantage of the natural light by my patio door and I think that helps?
I do in MD! I don’t put my event schedule on here because most of my followers don’t seem to live nearby. I put it on my IG and TikTok though
I’m a big fan of anything besides pumpkin just cause it’s everywhere. Just posted about my fall flavors & I love cardamom with carrot cake
Learning to be my own food stylist and photographer is tough! I have so much respect for people who do these jobs for a living, the learning curve is definitely steep, but I’m trying 😅 Just photographed all my new fall cookie flavors

Guess I will stick to my aluminum pans and parchment paper!
Oh love it! Will definitely give it a read. I’m also baking so I don’t commit crimes this year after getting fired from my job at NIH
Hey civil servants & federal contractor friends, please let me know if I can make your day a little brighter with a free cookie at my upcoming events until this ends. 🫶

I had the chance recently to take part in a NYT piece profiling civil servants from all across the country. What struck me was how much each person cared about their work and how well they could explain its value to the American people. Accessible link: archive.ph/tjDub

I do when making chocolate cake! I add hot coffee to bloom the cocoa powder
That’s awful!! But good for you to figure out what helped
It’s definitely higher quality than Hershey’s or Tollhouse! I’d say it’s in the middle? Definitely more affordable than Callebaut for example
Weighing is the only was you can ensure your cookies are all exactly the same size and will bake evenly. (You should also weigh your batter between tins when baking cakes or muffins). 🍪 🍰

I’m not a recipe account, mine are top secret 🤫 but I share baking tips on this account!
If you love coffee, you’d like it!
It’s just overall a much better quality than something like Tollhouse or Hershey’s and although it’s much pricier, I wouldn’t change it. I believe if you’re going to treat yourself, you should have the best quality cookie you can find 🫶

I can’t believe I get to announce this: My small business—Gingersnap Jess Cookies—has won a grant from the BGE Energizing Small Business fund! I applied months ago & didn’t think about it afterwards because it’s such a popular program. I’ll be able to spend more time in a commercial kitchen 🥰
