Show Notes
We’re kicking off our 2026 season with Justine Doiron, the beloved creator behind Justine Snacks. Justine is a cook, recipe developer, and the author of “Justine Cooks,” a New York Times bestselling cookbook.
Justine joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about the path that led to her creative career, her childhood baking hobby, how she made her own wedding cakes, and her early days on TikTok.
Then, Justine dives into her “obsessive” chocolate chip cookie behavior and the four recipes she developed for her book, specifically her Tall Rye Guy recipe. She explains how analyzing ingredient ratios changed the way she thinks about texture, spread, and flavor; why ratios matter more than technique; and why she believes cookies are best eaten warm and slightly underbaked.
