Always on the lookout for cookies with a twist, I came across these cookies in New York Times Cooking. There I was nonchalantly scrolling through my feed when it popped up on my screen PEANUT BUTTER MISO COOKIES. Say what? Miso? In a cookie? Like a lot of folks, I have had Miso Soup, but …
As a kid, I loved Neopolitan Ice Cream Sandwiches. I mean who didn’t? It was like getting three different flavors of ice cream all at once AND a chocolate cookie. Dessert Jackpot.

My plan was to ignore CNN, Twitter, WAPO, NYT…I decided to watch Hamilton for the umpteenth time, followed by my favorite K-drama. As they say… The …
