Hogg Homesteading

Decided to bake cookies for our new neighbors as a little “hello, we just moved in” moment 🍪🤍
There’s something about homemade food that feels like the easiest way to break the ice — warm cookies, a quick introduction, and hopefully the start of good neighbor friendships.
Homesteading isn’t just about growing food and making things from scratch… it’s also about building community wherever you land. So here’s to new homes, new faces, and sharing a little sweetness along the way ✨
Would you be excited or suspicious if your new neighbor showed up with cookies? 😂
Recipe:
Ingredients🍪
1 cup shortening
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 – 2 cups jumbo semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions👩🏼🍳
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cream together shortening and both sugars.
Add eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix well.
Stir in the jumbo semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Drop cookie dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for about 9 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

✨ Exciting things are coming soon! ✨
I’ve been working behind the scenes on some *new handmade pieces* and I’m so excited to finally share a little sneak peek with you all!
🪡 Embroidered night lights
🧵 Heirloom quilts
🤫 And one more surprise product I’m not revealing just yet…
As a small handmade business, photos and real-life examples help me so much when introducing new items. I’m looking for a few people who would be interested in purchasing one at a **discounted price** in exchange for allowing me to use it for advertising and photos.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, comment below or send me a message! Your support truly means the world to me 💛
This is everything I made for friends & family for Christmas 🎄✨
Yes… I am fully aware that today is February 25th and Christmas was *two months ago* 😂 but I’m just now getting around to posting all the things I made — so enjoy this very chaotic homemade Christmas gift haul.
One of my favorite parts of the holidays is getting to slow down (even if it feels a little chaotic at the time) and make gifts by hand. So much love, late nights, and probably too many projects went into this year’s batch, and I’m honestly so proud of how everything turned out.
✨ Note to self: if I decide to make everyone’s gifts again next year… START IN JULY. Not November. JULY. ✍️😂
Also — if anyone is interested in ordering handmade Christmas gifts from me this year, this is your friendly reminder to do it now. Do. It. Now. 😅
Homemade gifts just hit different 🤍
Which one would you have picked? 👀

Wow… I’ve been a little MIA lately 🤍
The end of last year brought some BIG changes for us — we closed on a house, moved in last month, and even added a new dog to the family 🐾
Since then, life has been a whirlwind of painting, renovating, settling in, and I also started school again… so things have definitely been busy around here!
I’ve actually filmed so much over the past two months and can’t wait to share it all with you, so you’ll start seeing lots of new content popping up soon.
In the meantime, I’m still selling my products as usual, and I’m really hoping to add fresh veggies and more homegrown goodness this summer 🌱
Thank you for sticking around while life happens — more homestead updates coming soon
