Kristine's Kitchen (2026)

🍪😂 My kitchen was CHAOS… but these cookies were worth every bit of it!

No fancy bakery setup over here — just Mommy baking, making a mess, using what I have, and having FUN with it. 😉👩🏽‍🍳

I made these Chocolate Chip Cookies completely from scratch, and of course I had to put my own little twists on them!

🍪 What I used:

🧈 1 stick Kerrygold salted butter, softened
🤎 ½ cup homemade brown sugar — I made mine with molasses + granulated sugar. If you already have brown sugar, absolutely use that! The homemade version is just a great option if you have molasses on hand.
🍚 ¼ cup Zulka organic granulated cane sugar
🥚 1 large egg
🍦 1 tsp vanilla extract
🌾 1⅜ cups Bob’s Red Mill unbleached all-purpose flour
🥄 ½ tsp baking soda
🧂 ¼ tsp Vitacost Himalayan pink salt
🍫 1 cup Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet MINI morsels

👩🏽‍🍳 My little tips & tricks 😉

🧈 I prefer salted Kerrygold butter. I know the original recipe called for unsalted, but I like the extra flavor salted butter gives my cookies.

🤎 Brown sugar: I made my own this time with molasses + granulated sugar. If you have regular brown sugar, use it! If you happen to have molasses, making your own is an easy option.

🍫 MINI chocolate chips are my favorite! You get little bites of chocolate throughout the whole cookie instead of giant chunks here and there.

❄️ MY BIG TRICK: I covered the dough and froze it for 20 minutes BEFORE scooping and baking. That helped me get thicker cookies instead of dough spreading everywhere.

⬛ And because I'm me… I didn't make boring round cookies. 😂

I shaped mine into FUN SQUARE COOKIES! 🍪⬛

Then onto a lined baking sheet and into a 350°F oven for about 9–12 minutes, until the edges were lightly golden but the centers were still soft.

Let them sit on the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

And YES… my counter looked like this the entire time. 😂😂

Flour. Bowls. Measuring cups. Chocolate chips. Dishes. Chaos.

But that's real cooking!

You don't need a perfect kitchen to make something delicious. You just need good ingredients, a little patience, and a willingness to make a beautiful mess. ❤️

Mommy's kitchen = a little chaotic, a little silly, and ALWAYS made with love. 😘🍪

✨📖🤍 A little sneak peek of what's been filling my heart lately... 👀🍽️

For the last 10 years, I've poured my heart into feeding people. ❤️

As a self-taught cook 👩🏻‍🍳, a mom 🩷, and the owner of Kristine's Kitchen, I've spent thousands of hours learning through trial and error, celebrating the wins, fixing the flops, stretching grocery budgets, and creating recipes that have become part of so many families' dinner tables. 🍲🥘🍗🥖

And now... ✨

It's time for the next chapter. 📚💫

I've been quietly working on my very first eBook, and it's so much more than a cookbook.

🌿 It's 10 years of experience.
📝 It's handwritten notes turned into recipes.
🥘 It's meals made with love.
💰 It's budget-friendly cooking.
🌱 It's more from-scratch recipes.
🇵🇷 It's my Puerto Rican roots.
❤️ It's my love language.
✨ It's cooking with intention.
🌎 It's my hope to help people reconnect with real food.

Yes... a lot of cooking information is free online.

But what you're investing in isn't information.

You're investing in 10 years of experience.

❤️ The recipes I've tested over and over.
🥄 The little tricks I learned the hard way.
💡 The money-saving tips.
🍽️ The meals that kept families fed.
🥹 The stories behind them.
🫶🏼 And every ounce of love I've poured into this journey.

As I've grown, I've become more passionate about understanding our ingredients, cooking from scratch whenever possible, and making thoughtful choices about what we feed ourselves and the people we love. 🌿🥚🥖🧄🍅

This isn't about fear—it's about reconnecting with food, learning, and sharing what has helped me along the way. 🤍

This doesn't mean I'm leaving meal prep behind.

It means Kristine's Kitchen is growing. 🌱✨

I want to continue serving my community in new ways—whether that's preparing meals for you or giving you the confidence to create them in your own kitchen. 👩🏻‍🍳🏡❤️

🩷 Now I need your help!

If you've ever ordered from me...
