chocolate (bar) cookies.

Your perception of chocolate cookies will probably never be the same again.

I was browsing through YouTube recently and I found the most amazing Japanese baking/cooking channel and the cutest idea I've seen in a while - these!

chocolate rose cookies.

If you've absolutely nothing to do (like I was) and have reached your limit of scrolling through random webpages (like I had) and have refreshed your Instagram feed for the third time that minute (like I did), then you might wanna try making these cookies because not only are they fun - albeit slightly challenging at first - they take up around 2 hours of your time and leave you so strangely exhausted after you're done that you would feel like taking a 2 hour nap. So that's 4 hours spent productively. Yay.

matcha white chocolate cake + one million blog views!

Oh em gee. Do my eyes deceive me? This blog has reached one million views! 1,000,000! I have finally conquered the milestone that every blogger dreams of (I think)! I still remember the time the counter registered 100 and I literally couldn't fall asleep after that, and now here I am another four zeros later. I'll probably be opening the dashboard window every waking hour to just marvel at the sight of seven digits in the counter over the next few days. Hah.

cheesecake-filled chocolate easter eggs.

Happy (early) Easter y'all! Frankly speaking Good Friday and Easter Sunday don't hold any special significance for me but Easter-themed bakes are too fun to pass up! The last time I made some dyed eggs with vanilla pound cake baked in them and they were just so precious I wanted to make them again this year. Unfortunately I've been a bit busy lately so I had to give up on that notion but good news - I might have found something even more exciting!

Saw this cookie idea on Instagram some time back and thought it was too cute not to replicate.
