Cookies
I owe you an apology, baker. I haven’t made peanut butter cookies for years (such shame! such horror!), despite having “Coming soon… Classic Peanut Butter Cookies” in the cookie section of the Recipe Index page for about two whole years. Good intentions? Yeah well, you know what they say about those. What was wrong with […]

So I decided that one of the most classic holiday cookies I make needed to go on a vacation. To the tropics. I bake icebox cookies every year, fondly chopping up the red and green candied cherries while humming songs about Santa. But this year I just couldn’t do the same-old. This year I wanted […]

Yes, it happened. Peanut butter was swirled into the Classic Shortbread Cookie dough. Oh, and chocolate was spread on top, too, which makes this cookie an absolute instant hit. The fact that these cookies were shaped into fingers makes them strangely even more attractive to people to eat (really- make a cookie, even an average […]

These cookies make me happy. Even though they score a 7 on the Effort It Takes To Make scale (you know, the scale I just made up right now, where 1 means So Easy You Can Have Your Three Year Old Make This Dessert, and 10 means This Dessert Will Be Annoying So Brace Yourself […]

I need more pistachios in my life. (I also feel like I need more cilantro and cumin, and adventure, but I’ll stick to the sweet stuff since I know that’s what you came here for.) I’ve already bored you to tears with my soliloquies about shortbread cookies. You know I love them, you know it’s […]

Sometimes us bakers just need to chill the freak out. Sometimes a “no bake” recipe just works. Sometimes it’s just too hot to preheat the oven, let alone have it raging at 375º for several hours (because if you’re anything like me, you don’t just bake one dessert at a time… you bake like two […]

Why have one cookie when you can sandwich two together with a particularly decadent chocolate ganache frosting? And don’t cheap out on the cookie size, alright? The joy of a cookie sandwich is to bite into the sloppiness of two regular sized cookies, feeling giddy because you get TWO of them with even more joy glueing them […]

Yeah, we’ve all heard about the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie. (And we all love it, I know, especially when you add a hint of lime to the situation.) But what about the cashew? Ah, yes. The cashew. It’s totally compatible with white chocolate, and it has that richly satisfying texture that macadamia nuts have […]

Everyone loves a surprise, especially a chocolate-covered-caramel one snuck into a cookie. (Correction: no one likes a surprise with a mint chocolate treat stuffed into a mini brownie when the mint chocolate treat ends up looking like a disgusting neon green blob of goo. Other than that, surprises all day long, please.) Okay, Rolo. Have […]

How sweet are these? Because I am a world-famous blogger, I had the great fortune of having the people from Dena Designs send me a bunch of adorable edible papers… of course with the hopes that I’d not hate their product and refer to my experience under the Disasters category. Good news! The “Edible Designer Print” […]

Remember the Double Chocolate Buttermilk Cookies? Yeah, well, these are them on crack. Cookies are exciting on their own, I full well realize. But making a dessert out of two cookies and glueing them together with something as decadent as ganache, well, that’s another story. Pull out a plate of pretty much any kind of cookie […]

Many people’s dreams will come true with this dessert. So by extension, if you make this dessert and give it to people, you will become a dream weaver. (You can hum the tune to the 1976 song as though it’s the soundtrack to this post. You know, the one that goes “ooh dream weaver… I […]

These are the kind of cookies you make when you don’t feel like exerting any effort at all. Like when you just feel like whirling a bunch of tasty stuff together in the food processor and then baking it for about 20 minutes and then hitting the couch hard. I admit that I used a […]

These might blow your mind. Picture a banana bread studded with dark chocolate chunks- a really freaking amazing banana bread with dark chocolate chunks, mind you- but then warp the image of bread in your mind and turn it into a cookie. Got it? Yes, it’s true. It happened. Banana bread became a cookie, and […]

I have been working through a giant jug of buttermilk, so have been experimenting with how to use it in just about any kind of dessert. (Wait and see, loyal reader- it’ll show up in like 90% of the recipes I post for the next month or so. Go get your own jug to be […]

The inspiration for these cookies actually came from a recipe called “Egg Yolk Cookies”, which really sounds quite disgusting, doesn’t it? Here’s the scoop. I had 4 egg yolks waiting around to be beaten into something other than a pudding (I totally would have made a pudding or even better- creme brûlée– if I had […]

Winner. Take a perfectly good shortbread cookie ball, and dip it in chocolate. You could stop there and die a happy dessert-eater. But no. Toast some nuts- pecans, walnuts, perhaps a medley of the two. Chop them up and sprinkle them on the chocolate before it sets, so the nutty-chocolate situation sets in a “we […]

Be not afraid of the whole “fruitcake” thing, folks. This is really just a fantastic shortbread with a killer glaze, that happens to have pieces of dried fruit stirred into it to be considered somewhat festive. I was thumbing through a magazine in the checkout at the grocery store last week and saw this […]
