Yours truly with Margo, a Big John’s family member, at Big John’s PFI.

We interrupt your irregularly scheduled Christmas cookie countdown content to announce this weekend’s holiday pop-up:

Saturday, 12/13, 11am-1pm, at Big John’s PFI.

Preorders sold out right away, but I will have cookie six packs, mixed dozens, and even a couple deluxe two dozen boxes available for walk-ins.

Arrive at 11 for the best selection!

With my sis, Fran, at the holiday PFI pop-up in 2024

✨FYI: all cookies will be pre-packed in bags and boxes at Big John’s, no individual cookie sales

 I will have indies at Broadcast on the 20th, for everyone who needs a snick-snack with their coffee .

See you soon!

Italian Wedding Cookies

The most underrated cookie award goes to these guys.  While they might not look as flashy as some of my other varieties, these are, low key, one of my favorites. 

My Italian wedding cookies are basically toasted nuts and butter held together with a little flour and sugar. Like the Harlan Pepper of R&D, I tested every nut I could get my hands on when developing this recipe. Pecans won for both flavor and texture.  While not traditionally Italian, they are distinctly American. 

They’re appropriately named too. Seeing as, if I had to play a round of the classic game, FMK, with my cookies, I would definitely marry these guys. They’re reliably rich and consistent and, despite being coated in powdered sugar, not overly sweet. They’re the cookies I’m always in the mood for.
