    These cinnamon puff sticks are a cute and extremely simple adornment to any dessert!  For example, they make a cute addition to my previous reverse strawberry shortcake post!  Or if you’re like me you’ll just want to snack on them straight out of the oven.  They definitely have that extra bit of luxury when they’re warm and flaky and just–mmmm! I actually make these a lot whenever I have leftover puff pastry from other recipes, like salmon en croute (coming soon), and these are extremely similar to the churro cookies recipe I shared earlier.  Just without the filling, and in stick form instead of circles!…

    Let me just start this off answering the question on everyone’s mind–yes, this recipe is everything you want it to be!  Another adventure stemming from my coworkers, though this time from a birthday rather than fresh-from-the-garden produce like baked jalapeño poppers.  Since I like cooking and baking (whaaaat), a coworker’s birthday is always the perfect excuse to try out a new recipe!  I do ask for a category or a few examples of what they like so that I have a starting place. How bad would everyone feel if I made something the birthday guy/gal didn’t like?  That’s awkward for everyone.  So…

    Here’s recipe two from T’s and my’s Thursday night cinco de mayo dinner!  Churro Cookies.  Yes, they are just as glamorous as they sound.  I promise.  And actually, they’re amazingly simple.  There’s–count ’em–only 6 ingredients! Now I don’t make these every day just because puff pastry is rather expensive (for cookie making), but let me tell you, they are like little bites of heaven.  And while the round cookies are super cute and flaky, I absolutely do not throw away the strangely-shaped pieces!  Bake them off and get the kids (or yourself–taste testing is a must!) to om nom the…
