Hi All! Did everyone have a great weekend? I did! I was styling a cookbook all weekend, but it was great nonetheless…why? Because the clients were AWESOME…some of the nicest, hard working people I’ve ever met. In fact, the whole team was really wonderful! It made shooting 8 straight days in a row fly by and we really had a good time shooting. The lovely women of Piccolo Chef are the people I’m referring to. The company is an Italian inspired children’s cooking school, based out of LA and run by two wonderful women, Tina and Lillian.
Tina and Lillian are two women who have worked together for years in the “serious business world” before they decided that they were going to leave their corporate jobs and open up a healthy children’s cooking school, inspired by their own children and the desire to teach them about healthy eating/cooking from an early age. They have literally spent the last few years building their business from the ground up and have truly created a wonderful thing.

OMG! This sounds like exactly what I’m craving for right now!! Amazing recipe and stunning photograph!
Use a thimble to make the hole…that way it also does not stick..or you don’t have to clean your fingers off.
What kind of potato chips did you use? Just curious.
Hi Melissa! I used regular Lay’s potato chips :)
Any idea it these freeze well?
Love that marbled paper!
I love this blog.
And these look so good!
Seriously?? These look like the most amazing cookies I’ve ever seen. Making a batch of these with my mom’s homemade strawberry jam and perhaps even a light chocolate drizzle on top ASAP! Thanks for the great pics as well, they look stunning.
Oh my. Smitten Kitchen did potato chip cookies a few weeks ago and I’ve have been in lust since then. Making them into thumbprints? Killing me.
