I absolutely love the gowns in Bridgerton and the wide variety of colors/fabrics! Even those citrus dresses 👀 Which is your favorite combination? Have you finished the first 4 episodes of season 4 yet?

Do you have any rules for baked goods? To me, it’s got to be worth the calories whether I’m treating myself or making cookies for my business

My latest creation!! Can you guess the flavor? I used to be so stressed about recipe development but now it’s my favorite part about having a cookie business #bakingsky #womenowned #cookies #art #food #photography #foodporn

Horchata Snickerdoodle: My coziest cookie yet! Salvadoran Horchata (the best imho) w/toasted rice, cinnamon & cacao, toasted sesame, morro, & peanut for a full flavor. This soft cookie is then rolled in more Ceylon cinnamon & sugar. Available this Sunday at Winter Clubhouse #baking #art #photography

Last year I got fired from my job at the NIH & pivoted to my side hustle: my microbakery. I spent the year supporting federal workers & speaking up for public health through news appearances & advocacy. I’m also a #DC -born, #MD -grown woman in my 40s who loves the #DMV area #baking #science

I’m putting the final touches on 6 cookies for a local winter market in DC. Here’s the first one! Lmk if you want the market details—it’s Jan 25th. #baking #dc #smallbusiness #cookies #maryland #dmv #nova

Recently changed my brownie recipe to use a little water instead of a couple eggs (I make huge batches so I was using 16 eggs at a time) and I think I like it better! Less oily, more chewy and thicker overall. What do you think?

What’s everyone making for Thanksgiving dessert? I’m bringing these malted milk chocolate cookies I just created a couple weeks ago. sourcing the malt ball centers was a little difficult but really worth it. They also have Belgian chocolate inside.

Learning to be my own food stylist and photographer is tough! I have so much respect for people who do these jobs for a living, the learning curve is definitely steep, but I’m trying 😅 Just photographed all my new fall cookie flavors

Hey civil servants & federal contractor friends, please let me know if I can make your day a little brighter with a free cookie at my upcoming events until this ends. 🫶

I had the chance recently to take part in a NYT piece profiling civil servants from all across the country. What struck me was how much each person cared about their work and how well they could explain its value to the American people. Accessible link: archive.ph/tjDub

Weighing is the only was you can ensure your cookies are all exactly the same size and will bake evenly. (You should also weigh your batter between tins when baking cakes or muffins). 🍪 🍰

It’s just overall a much better quality than something like Tollhouse or Hershey’s and although it’s much pricier, I wouldn’t change it. I believe if you’re going to treat yourself, you should have the best quality cookie you can find 🫶

I can’t believe I get to announce this: My small business—Gingersnap Jess Cookies—has won a grant from the BGE Energizing Small Business fund! I applied months ago & didn’t think about it afterwards because it’s such a popular program. I’ll be able to spend more time in a commercial kitchen 🥰

Another cookie flavor in development: Orange, clove & cardamom. Wondering if I should put on the orange pieces before baking? Do you like them better in wedges or chopped?
