When I first asked my Aunt Elaine for her monster cookie recipe, the same one she’d been bringing to family gatherings for as long as I can remember, I expected a simple hand-me-down recipe.

What I got instead was a page full of red flags.

No flour?
No vanilla?
No salt?
Six eggs?!
And multiple measuring units, just to keep things interesting.

Surely there had to be typos.

But there weren’t.

What made this recipe so different from every monster cookie recipe I’d seen online… was exactly what made it so good.

So I trusted it.

I made it exactly as written, then slowly made it my own—converting everything to grams for consistency, tweaking here and there, and baking them over and over again until they became part of the fabric of my kitchen.

In the beginning of my sourdough era, I even asked myself: How can I turn these into a sourdough cookie?

And then it hit me…maybe I shouldn’t.

Not everything needs to be sourdough.

These cookies were already perfect in their own lane: naturally gluten free, nostalgic, and rooted in a vintage recipe that had already stood the test of time.

About a year ago, I transformed that recipe again, this time into a baking mix, so more of you could bring a little piece of that tradition into your own kitchens.

And every single time I make them, it feels like a quiet reminder of my Aunt Elaine…of family gatherings, shared recipes, and the kind of love that gets passed down through generations.

And honestly? These cookies are a lot like The Cottonwood Kitchen.

They’ve been through tweaks and turns. Moments of uncertainty. Plenty of experimenting.

But the foundation has always stayed the same: simple ingredients, a lot of heart, and something worth sharing.

That’s what these monster cookies are to me.

Not just our best seller.

A little window into who we are.

How fitting is it that I’m doing Physical Therapy at Cottonwood Estates?! My foot has been feeling amazing just after the first three appointments thanks to Resilient Rehab, LLC. That being said, David and I have made the decision to not be a farmer’s market vendor this summer. My first job is being MOM and we will not have daycare this summer and David’s on-call schedule is sporadic. We will miss seeing you guys and these markets were amazing for our business, but right now in this season it’s what’s best for our family. Don’t worry though, we’ll have some pre-orders, porch pop ups AND sourdough classes coming your way, so keep an eye out! 🍞🍪❤️
