This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by my sweet friend Shyana. She lives in Gifu, Japan, and we get together with a group of friends about once a year to eat, drink, and be merry. Generally she brings mildly shocking Japanese treats. For example, last year it was the green tea [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Macrina Bakery on Queen Anne. The very first thing that I liked about Macrina is that their hours are 7-7. I understand that baked goods need to be prepared and baked to be sold fresh daily, but throw a working girl a bone here. 7:00 [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by the Dahlia Bakery, located on 4th Avenue in Belltown. If you’re not from Seattle, you may not know that the bakery is owned by Tom Douglas who is the Big Kahuna of Seattle when it comes to culinary religion. He beat Morimoto, man! [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Papa Haydn‘s, located on 23rd in Portland, Oregon. Here’s the part where I tell you that I didn’t even have a cookie from Papa’s. I know! Just look at those plates filled with gorgeous macaroons, chunky chocolate chips, and gloriously chocolate dipped shortbread triangles. [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by the DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine shop in Pike Place. The place is located on the corner of Pike and 1st and is always packed. I’ve never been in there when I didn’t have to bribe an old lady or small child off a stool [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by the Columbia City Bakery. We drove up Rainier Avenue on the southeasterly side of Seattle searching for a fantastical cookie and spotted the CCB, its front door thrown wide open to lure in poor, innocent carbohydrate-starved victims. We parked on a side street and [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by the Godiva “boutique” in Westlake Center in downtown Seattle. Sometimes if you stroll past the storefront at the magic moment, you can catch them dipping strawberries or dried fruits in glorious vats of chocolate. But when I walked past last Saturday, there were [...]
Having moved to Renton from Capitol Hill, I’ve found that finding cutesie little bakeries just around the corner gets a little harder. But to be honest, I haven’t been looking very hard. Because I’ve been hiding out in my new house with a fire burning to beat off the icy winds of…May. As mild and [...]
An old friend is in town visiting from Kansas City and she brought me a couple of bags of cookies. One of which is a margarita tea cookie. Who knew my favorite cocktail could be a cookie? Cookies and margaritas? Now that’s my kind of Happy Cookie Friday. Thanks so much, Marian!
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Honoré Bakery in Ballard. I haven’t ever been to the place so I can’t speak to what all they have to offer, but I can tell you this. They make some gorgeous cookies. An old friend treated me to a box of cookies as a [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by the apricot bars at pasta & co. Wednesday I figured it was time to get out and find a cookie for Friday, so I got in my car and drove to the nearest pasta place I could find. Ok, so really I was in the [...]
The Essential Bakery Cafe in Madison Park is a loverly place to visit on a sunny Spring afternoon. Especially if you’re looking for a cookie to satisfy your regular Friday craving. It was a toss up between the sable cookie and the macaroon. Normally the macaroon wouldn’t tempt me because coconut isn’t my [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Bakery Nouveau. They sell the chunkiest, thickest peanut butter cookies packed with, uh, peanuts. Big ones. And who can eat cookies without milk? Not me. Happy Cookie Friday, man. They had a last almond croissant in the case, who could resist? Could be a trick [...]
This Happy Cookie Friday blog is being interrupted by a special event, and will return next week to its regularly scheduled programming. We now bring you: Happy Birthday Cupcake Friday, featuring the Cupcake Royale on Capitol Hill. Yes, it was my birthday on Tuesday and while cookies are my favorite, the only way to celebrate [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Pastelería y Panadería La Ideal in South Park. It’s “un pedacito de Mexico en South Park,” which, as everybody knows, means “that place that sells a very happy looking cookie made especially for Natasha Reed’s Happy Cookie Friday. In South Park.” The way you gather [...]
