Award-winning recipe creator Melissa Stadler was born to cook, literally speaking. As a toddler, she recalls standing on the tallest step stool, begging her Mom to let her help out in the kitchen.
“I watched my Mom and Grandma spend their days baking for their families, and it was then I discovered that making food is a wholehearted expression of love,” she writes on her website.
With an inherent passion for food and cooking, Stadler launched Modern Honey in 2015 as an outlet for her creativity in the kitchen. On her viral platform, she shares tried and true recipes from decadent desserts (Stadler herself is a two-time Pillsbury Bake-Off finalist), quick and easy dinners, and healthy recipes.
With an emphasis on baking, Stadler is a self-proclaimed cookie junkie. “There’s probably a support group somewhere for people like me,” she jokes on her website, recalling how when she was a teenager, she would go to the library and thumb through cookbooks to find every single chocolate chip cookie recipe and would beg her Mom to try out the recipe creations almost daily. “Issues, I tell you,” she writes.
One of her most celebrated recipes in the Famous Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. “These aren’t some ordinary bite-size cookies,” writes Stadler. “No, these are a full-on meal. Well maybe for some people. Here’s the deal—you make them big. Really big. Like only four can fit on a cookie sheet, BIG. These are the BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER. Yep, I said it.”
