Melon Pan Cookies

April 29, 2025 by Christina Leave a Comment

A stack of five sugar-dusted melon pan cookies sits on a white plate, one cookie broken open to reveal its airy interior.

I have been so excited to share these Melon Pan Cookies! To the point where I made them three times last week (oops) and I am not sorry about it. If you’ve ever walked past a Japanese bakery and caught a glimpse of those crisscross-topped buns, you know exactly the appeal. That sweet, crisp, crackly exterior […]

Black Sesame Peanut Butter Cookies

April 4, 2025 by Christina Leave a Comment

A black sesame peanut butter cookie, broken in half, rests on a white marble surface with a stack of whole cookies behind it.

Think about it: peanut butter, with its creamy, roasted nuttiness. And then black sesame, with its earthy, toasty depth. They just make sense together! I’ve been experimenting with black sesame paste for a while now (I am a little obsessed, I admit), and pairing it with peanut butter creates something truly so delicious: chewy black […]

The earthy, slightly bitter notes of matcha meet the sweet, tart burst of strawberry powder, all in a yummy shortbread cookie. 🙂 I will admit, the idea of pinwheel cookies felt a bit intimidating […]

A stack of four peanut butter cookies with white chocolate chunks and chocolate drizzle, the top one split open, with more cookies on a cooling rack.

Hojicha Latte Cookies

December 6, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A brown hojicha latte cookie with white and milk chocolate chunks has a bite taken out, with other cookies and a latte.

I’ve been a little obsessed with hojicha lattes lately. So why not make it into a cookie?! The type that is not too thin, not too thick, with those nice crisp edges and a soft middle. It took a few tries, but I think I’ve finally nailed it with these chewy hojicha chocolate chunk cookies. The […]
