Ever hear of the movie Julie and Julia? Of course you have.
Well, in case you haven’t, the movie was inspired by a real-life blogger turned author who cooked her way through Julia Child’s famous Mastering the Art of French Cooking cookbook. And I think that’s a pretty rad idea.
So in an effort to get my baking shoes back on, here’s my new zero rules totally informal who-knows-if-I’ll-even-finish-it project of baking through 101 Gourmet Cookies for Everyone by Wendy Paul, conveniently found in the recipe book section of Barnes & Noble.
I mean, who doesn’t love cookies? Hopefully all of my friends do because I’m pretty much going to be shoving them down their throats for the next year(+). You’ve been warned.
I’m not even going to attempt to bake every day – more like once a week (I’m such a rebel). So stay tuned, cookie monsters.
Have you ever cooked/baked your way through a cookbook?
If you did, which kind would you choose?
Gracie that is an awesome idea!!!!!!!!
I love this!!
You can totally send some cookies my way. I’ll make that sacrifice…
This is such a fun idea. Inspiring, I might try something similar

So I have been lurkin around your blog for a couple weeks – and eeep! I absolutely love it
but I just had to finally comment on something and what better time than to tell you….I have this book! It is FABULOUS! May I recommend the s’mores cookies? Also, the magic bars are quite scrumptious…or so the chef I work with says so!
The lemon bars? Make them. Like, now. Okay maybe not right this instant, but definitely try those soon!
<3 happy baking!
Hey Taylor! Thanks for the sweet comment
I’m pretty sure all of those cookie recipes are in the book! Or at least ones that are very similar. They all sound delicious!
That’s a fantastic idea! You might yourself with a lot of new friends for a while

I thought of doing something similar, but never actually worked up the motivation haha. Can’t wait to see how it works for you!
What fun!
