Post-VVC mini post.

The Chocopeño cookie company, based in New Jersey, …

Cinnamon Rollz with Snickerdoodle Topping, Chai Cookies [recipes!]
I had a whole bunch of leftover snickerdoodle cookies and they were getting old. You can’t just throw away snickerdoodles, but they can be given new life as a streusel-like topping! I made these cinnamon rolls (Evan’s recipe, of course) for my friend Alexis’ end of the semester shindig last week. Halfway through baking, I …
