Cookies are not my weak spot. A brownie sundae? You bet ya! But cookies have never really been my thing. Unless.. it’s a container of those fluffy, cakey cookies with a perfect circle of frosting with sprinkles that can typically be found in the bakery. That kind of cookie can be my thing.

I did some super sophisticated Google searching: “fluffy, cakey cookies”, “super fluffy cookies”, “cake-like cookies”. From there, I found out that my guiltiest cookie pleasure has a brand name, Lofthouse Cookies. I found a few blogger recipes, like this one from Two Peas & Their Pod, and realized I’m not the only one with an obsession.

I quickly made this recipe my own and modified to be gingerbread-esque, using brown sugar, molasses, freshly grated ginger, and Chinese five spice {my holiday fav}. And now I can’t stop, won’t stop, taking a cookie with me every time I leave the kitchen!

I’m going to start this story at the end – at the moment I couldn’t take a picture that I liked for the life of me. I looked at my Paris inspired dish of berries topped with whipped mascarpone. I glanced over at the stack of souvenirs from the recent Paris trip that sparked the inspiration. And I thought.. Emily wouldn’t mind if I used the adorable black cat kitchen linen I purchased for her abroad, would she? And just like that, I had a photo. Sorry Em {it’ll make its way to you shortly}!

Rewinding to the beginning of the story, this whipped mascarpone was inspired by our first dessert in Paris. We stumbled upon a little place called Chez Mademoiselle where, when it came time for dessert, they served their sweet dishes with a pot of mascarpone whipped cream {like unlimited mascarpone whipped cream!}. And it blew my mind.
