Hi, I’m Nick.
Lover, fighter, urban cowboy (age 3?), and cookie enthusiast! Welcome to my blog. If you came here by accident, I’m sorry, the exit is over there. If you are here on purpose…well, I promise this won’t take long and you can follow those other folks right on outta here in short order!
I didn’t really take up baking until I was in my mid-20s, but having grown up with a mom who was a great baker and an older brother who is inspirational in his mastery of all things pie and cheesecake related, I feel like I have the potential to make some decent cookies! I have found through the years that one of the ways I show love to others is through food, specifically sweet treats, and when the start of 2025 hit, I thought, damn, this world needs some cookies…and here we are!
I created thig blog after deciding that I was going to bake one cookie every week from Sarah Kieffer’s book, 100 Cookies: The Baking Book for Every Kitchen. I am documenting my experience as I go and will do my best to take some pictures that look like I know what the hell I am doing with a camera (I don’t!). I bought the book from my local bookstore (shout out Spoke & Word Books!) and dove in headfirst without knowing what I was getting into.
What I have quickly realized is this has become a fairly large focus of my life, and while baking a single cookie recipe each week is not a herculean effort, it definitely eats up more time than I expected! But it is so much fun to make these cookies and when my family, friends, and coworkers get to enjoy something I create, and it brings a smile to their face for a just a moment, all the time and effort are absolutely worth it!
That’s it! You’ve reached the end! I hope you enjoy this journey with me, and if you ever find yourself feeling down in this world just do me a favor…get a cookie and take big bite out it…I guarantee you’ll feel a little bit better.
Cheers!
Oh, Dough You Didn't!
