I have found that you can easily substitute Five Spice powder, for the cinnamon when you roll the cookies, with an excellent result.

May I ask where you got your favorite coffee cup? It looks like a good cup for the AeroPess!

Molly – “kettle corn meets snickerdoodle” ummm. yum. This makes me want to send Gabe back in to the kitchen to whip up another batch.

Hey Ashley & Gabe,
We did indeed make these today. With salted butter in the dough + the recommended salt (a heaping half teaspoon) in the topping. And I’m happy to report you were spot-on. Like kettle corn meets snickerdoodle: fantastic!
xo,
Molly

What a lovely day! I just may have my boyfriend read this post to give him some motivation to inch towards the kitchen.

This post made me so, so happy. I’m glad you managed to stay on the couch and let the rare occasion unfold… It’s so hard not to intervene when there are cookies at stake! I know the feeling of being attached to a coffee mug, and the snickerdoodle-cookie combo sounds perfect. So sweet.

What a perceptive man you have there. Everything always needs just a touch more salt. He’s a keeper!

Those bodum cups are the freaking greatest for drinking coffee. We put ours in the giant ones because we’re crazy! 🙂

How sweet! My husband doesn’t do any baking and quite frankly I don’t think I want him too!

This is incredibly sweet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my guy bake – ever. But it’s so wonderful when anything at all is cooked FOR us isn’t it? Love it.

So what precipitated this romantic gesture, or are you just lucky enough to have a husband who thinks of making you cookies all on his own for no good reason? My husband made me some chocolate chip cookies once when I was out for the day, it was the sweetest thing to come home to. I think to this day that was the only time he ever baked anything!

I love the candy shop! Lydia and I built a cardboard kitchen, which I also plan to share on my blog soon.

And I commend your self-control: the urge to micro-manage a husband in the kitchen is a strong one.

This is adorable! I want a cookie, and a Chemex! 🙂 I love it. xo

so so sweet:) I would be tempted to micro-manage baking too. P.S. my friend Nina mentioned you and I said, “Oh, the Ashley who has the blog ‘Not Without Salt?'” mutual friend:)

Joey – The chemex is really amazing. The body is much lighter than a press as the filter is much more fine. I used to love french press but now I have a hard time going back as I find it a bit too chalky. The chemex really allows the soft sweet, citrus and bright flavors to emerge. I really like it. Although I like the woodneck even better than the chemex. 🙂 http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Drip-Pot-Woodneck-240ml/dp/B0006HINCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298672802&sr=8-1

Anna – it’s so true. Food tastes so much better when you didn’t make it. These cookies were amazing. In fact, they still are and really they need to get out of my house.

MG – Gabe is starting to get light strands of hair throughout his head- oh, wait, those are gray. 🙂 I love the look of him in the kitchen.

coffee in your favorite cup – i love that! i have to be really aware that i don’t try to micro-manage too when my boyfriend bakes, and just love & appreciate the fact that he enjoys baking!

i’ve never used the chemex before. i use a french press at home, would you recommend the chemex over that? it’s definitely prettier…
