About Me
My name is Erin and I'm the crafter/baker/halfway-crazy person behind this blog! I have a BS in Genetics and Biotechnology and a MS in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, and I love to crochet and bake more than just about anything.
The only things I love more than being crafty are my wonderful husband and my two sweet boys who are growing up way too fast. I also love giant trees, afternoon naps, good books, bad puns, motor proteins, pretending to be a poet, eating squash, DNA replication, doodling, teaching, the Oxford comma, and clothes straight from the dryer.

About The Cookie Snob
You don't have to say it. I can already guess what you want to ask me. Why "The Cookie Snob," right? Well, wonder no more!
The simplest explanation is a confession: I am a total snob about baked goods. I try to be polite about it, but I definitely have strong opinions about desserts, especially cookies. Does that mean that something's wrong with a cookie if I don't like it? Not necessarily, I'm just particular and everyone has their own (valid) preferences when it comes to textures and flavors. Except for people who prefer crunchy cookies over soft ones. Those people are just wrong. (See what I mean about the snobbery?)
That being said, I chose the name because it's not only fitting for my cookie-judging ways, but it's also unique and somewhat memorable. Plus, it conjured up the mental image of a cookie who was acting like a snob and that was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. I love me a good doodle. Oh, and my cookie mascot? His name is Reginald. Thanks for asking.
