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 […]

I don’t really want to talk about this disaster. I hope that’s okay with you. And I also hope you appreciate that it’s at least a festive f-up because of the whole green thing (St. Patty’s Day- get it?). These were meant to be appealing Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Bites. Not Radioactive Waste Fudge Brownie […]

Yes, another deviation off the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie recipe, folks. Eat it up. Especially if you’re into the mint chocolate thing, which 95% of you are. (For the remaining 5% of you freaks, what can I say? Make this recipe without the mint chocolates, or go make a Zucchini Bread or something.) Adapted from my World’s Greatest […]

How did it get to be almost St. Patrick’s day again? (Wasn’t it just Valentine’s Day?) As a baker you’re expected to come up with desserts geared around a theme, and I usually give into the hype. (Oh, you want examples? Try these heart- shaped cookies meant for VD, or these nest egg cookie things […]

I have a thing for maple syrup. As a kid growing up in the Great White North, field trips consisted of visiting the depths of freezing cold forests to learn about the riveting process of sap-turned-into-syrup. Boring lessons, but worth standing in the cold for a taste of frozen syrup on slabs of icy snow. […]

You know when they say “don’t mess with a good thing”? Well sometimes the “they” people are stupid. A macaroon cookie is a beautiful thing, and has the oomph to stand on its own. But it’s kind of like The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie in that it can also act as a base for you […]

When a baking recipe instructs you to do things in a series of steps, you’re kind of sort of absolutely supposed to follow them. You’re supposed to be a good little baker and follow instructions. Especially when one of the steps involves the chemical reaction that baking soda creates when mixed with, oh, say, molasses […]

I have been wanting to make Shoofly Pie for years and years, mostly because of the name. I can admit that. (You have to say the name with a southern accent, too- the same one you use when you say Key Lime Pie.) I stumbled upon a Shoofly Pie recipe in a book that my […]

I just made one of my dreams come true. (Well, technically a dozen dreams, since this recipe makes 12 puffy and sticky and wondiferous cinnamon buns.) Because I know you’re keenly interested, let’s have a discussion about The History of Cinnamon Buns in My Life, shall we? I don’t remember where it started, so I’ll […]

Oh my. Everyone loves the Magic Gooey Cookie Bars. This is a fact. (If you don’t know what I am talking about then click here immediately, make these bars, and then try to tell me you’re the only earthling who doesn’t love Magic Gooey Cookie Bars.) But what if the amazingly excellent graham cracker crust […]

Allow me to point out how multifaceted this disaster really was: The cream cheese filling in these incredible Cream Cheese Stuffed Blueberry Muffins was all over the goddamned place, which means the cream cheese was no longer in the muffins themselves. Not part of the plan when you want to bite into a cream cheese […]

There is something about blueberries and lemon zest and cream cheese… it’s kind of like chocolate and caramel and nuts- they just go together, and you don’t fight it. (But really- check out these Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cubes after you’re done making these muffins.) I have married cream cheese with blueberries before (flash back to the […]

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 am really very excited about this new concoction, and I think you will be too. A) They are totally easy to make (although they do require you to pull out the food processor, so sorry about that). B) They are natural and healthy and energy-packed (which admittedly means caloric, but in a good “have […]

Finally, I understand what all the fuss is about. I was living under a bit of a rock, I’m afraid. But now I’ve seen the light. I’ve baked my way into it and there’s no turning back. I’m talking about this glorious Red Velvet Cake, which is rich, moist, and almost crushed under the weight […]

This dessert is kind of like a Valentine’s month must. Everyone likes cheesecake, and the people that say they don’t really like cheesecake don’t really know what they are talking about. They just haven’t tried this cheesecake, maybe. Because who could resist a little mini cheesecake? And the jam- it’s red for God’s sake- who […]

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 […]

It’s the simple things in life that are so damed good sometimes. Like Bundt cakes. Bundt cakes make me happy. Giddy, really. It’s kind of goofy, but by now you know that goofy comes with the Moore Sweets, Please package. (I don’t know if there is a site called More Serious Sweets, Please, but if […]
