      <image:title>Stories - Baking Spirits Bright - Lemon Rosemary Shortbread Wreaths</image:title>
      <image:caption>These buttery, tangy shortbread cookies are dipped in a lemon glaze and finished with sugared rosemary and red nonpareil candy for berries. If Meyer lemons are available, I love to use those as they add more depth of flavor. You can get creative by coloring your cookie dough green, coloring your lemon glaze, or utilizing sprinkles or assorted mini candies to decorate your wreaths. Yield: (20) 2 ½" diameter wreath cookies ingredients 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste ¾ cup confectioners sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour STEP ONE: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter with lemon zest and rosemary for three minutes, or until light and fluffy.  STEP TWO: Add in confectioners sugar and beat again until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.  STEP THREE: Add in lemon juice, followed by flour and salt, and mix on low speed until dough comes together. Pat cookie dough into ½" thick disks, wrap in plastic, and chill overnight.  STEP FOUR: The next day, pull out your dough, and preheat oven to 300°F.  STEP FIVE: Prepare sheet trays with parchment paper. STEP SIX: On a floured surface, roll out dough to ¼" thick, and use a round cutter to cut out wreath outlines. Use a smaller round cutter to remove the center of your wreaths and carefully place on the prepared baking sheet. STEP SEVEN: Bake for 25 minutes, until cookies are golden brown around the edges, and cool completely before glazing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Baking Spirits Bright - Coffee Brandy Thumbprints</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love a thumbprint cookie and find them to be a versatile way to combine different flavors and textures. Like many Mainers, I also love Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy (and the combination of coffee and chocolate), so I created this cookie as a love letter to all three. Rich dark chocolate cookies are filled with a coffee brandy ganache, and sprinkled with a touch of Maine sea salt. Yield: 12 thumbprint cookies cookie ingredients 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup cocoa powder (I like black cocoa powder for these, but dutch-process also works well) 1 ½ tablespoons coffee grounds ¼ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon baking powder ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature ½ cup granulated sugar ½ cup light brown sugar 1 egg, room temperature ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ¼ teaspoons Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy ganache ingredients 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ½ cup heavy cream 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 3 tablespoons Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Cookies STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F STEP TWO: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.  STEP THREE: Add egg, followed by vanilla and coffee brandy, mix until combined.  STEP FOUR: Combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, coffee grounds, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl, and add to your creamed butter mixture, mixing until completely combined.  STEP FIVE: Scoop each dough ball into equal sized portions, place on a baking sheet with 1 ½" inbetween each cookie dough ball. Use the back of a teaspoon to flatten cookies, creating a crevice in the center of each. Chill prepared cookie dough balls for 30 minutes before baking. STEP SIX: Bake for 12 minutes or lightly golden. STEP SEVEN: Once removed from the oven and still warm, use the back of a teaspoon to define crevice again. Cool completely before filling with your prepared coffee brandy ganache, and sprinkling lightly with Maine sea salt.  Ganache  STEP ONE: Place semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium bowl.  STEP TWO: In a small saucepan, add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Pour hot cream over the chocolate chips, and allow to melt slightly before using a whisk to combine.  STEP THREE: Once combined, add butter, and coffee brandy, mix until homogenous. STEP FOUR: Cool for at least 15 minutes before using a piping bag to fill each crevice with the ganache mixture and lightly sprinkling with Maine sea salt.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Baking Spirits Bright - Crisp Gingerbread Cookies</image:title>
      <image:caption>This “industrial grade” gingerbread dough is strong enough to create structural gingerbread houses but isn’t lacking in texture and flavor. In fact, these cookies only found their way into my cookie tins after a few years of competing in the Gingerbread House Competition in Boston, where I’d use this dough recipe to create giant showpieces, and couldn’t keep my friends and family away from the scraps! It bakes off flat with minimal spread, perfect for decorated cutout cookies OR gingerbread house centerpieces. Yield: will vary depending on which cookie cutter you choose, but this recipe will make (14) 5" round cookies ingredients 1 cup granulated sugar ½ cup light brown sugar ½ cup shortening 3 tablespoons molasses 2  eggs ½ teaspoon baking soda 3 cups all purpose flour 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 ½ teaspoons ground ginger ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F.  STEP TWO: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream your sugars, shortening, and molasses until light and fluffy, about five minutes. STEP THREE: Add eggs one at a time to creamed butter and sugar. STEP FOUR: Combine remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl. STEP FIVE: Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.  STEP SIX: Roll out dough and cut into desired shapes.  STEP SEVEN: Bake about 15–17 minutes depending on size and shape. STEP EIGHT: Cool completely before decorating with your favorite frosting or royal icing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Go GooeyGump Something! - Furniture Flipping 101</image:title>
      <image:caption>They don’t make furniture like they used to—so with a few quick steps, you can take those solid, well-made pieces and make them your own. Whether it’s a hand-me-down or a fabulous roadside find, you can give it new life and spark with a simple coat of paint. 1. Prep Your Piece (But Don’t Overthink It) Most older furniture is high-quality, but it can feel dated—especially when it’s dark brown and heavy. The good news? Chalk- and clay-based paints require minimal prep. Clean the surface well with a household degreaser, and then make sure to rinse that all away with water so you don’t have soap residue. if the surface is shiny enough to see your reflection, give it a quick scuff with fine sandpaper Otherwise, no sanding is necessary. 2. Pick Your Paint and Dive In Choose a fresh, modern color like Pantone’s 2025 pick of the year, Mocha Mousse, or a staple favorite that matches your vibe and get painting! These paints are super forgiving, so don’t worry about perfection. Use a natural bristle brush and apply the paint in light, even strokes. Most colors will have solid coverage with two coats, and you only need about 30 minutes before you can add the second.  3. Distress or Don’t—It’s Your Call If you want that vintage feel, lightly sand the edges once the paint dries to reveal some of the original wood underneath. Or keep it clean and crisp for a more contemporary look. 4. Seal the Deal To protect your newly painted piece, finish with wax or a clear coat. Wax adds a soft sheen, while a clear coat is ideal for more durable protection—especially for high-use items. Make sure to use finishing products compatible with the paint you chose to avoid patchiness or yellowing. 5. Upgrade the Hardware Hardware is the jewelry of your newly refurbished piece, and you can both upgrade and customize your creation with hardware. Swap out old knobs, handles, or hinges for modern options that complement your new color. This small change can dramatically transform the look and feel of your furniture, giving it a fresh, polished, or even quirky finish. 6. Create in a Crew  For those of you who love to create and learn in a group, we offer classes and workshops throughout the year. Visit our website gooeygumpdesigns.com for upcoming calendar and events. Can’t wait to see what you “GooeyGump!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Maine Sea Salt &amp;amp; Brown Butter Madeleines - recipe &amp; photography by chef josh berry</image:title>
      <image:caption>These cookies are the official sweet treat of the MyMaine team, and we love sharing them at events, interviews, and sponsorship meetings. They are easy to make, and as with any recipe, the better the quality of the ingredients, the better the result. We love York-based Slack Tide Sea Salt for their sustainable harvesting and drying methods that result in gorgeous, large crystals. Quality butter is key; use a grass-fed farm butter or Kate’s made in Arundel. For the honey, try to use locally sourced for the rich flavor and health benefits. The Honey Exchange in Portland or your local co-op will have a seasonal selection. Madeleine molds can be found at most cooking stores or online.</image:caption>
