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 […]

Yes, this dessert happened. And there’s no turning back. My life will never be the same and now yours will never be either. On the ‘How Incredible Are These, Really?’ scale, I think I have to give them a ‘Really Freaking Incredible’ rating (nearing the territory of ‘Total and Utter Perfection’, only awarded to the […]

I know, I know. You’re thinking “why would anyone ever make their own maple syrup?”, and I’m right there with you. It’s kind of like making your own paper- some people do it, but you question whether you should be friends with them. There are better things to do in life, right? Like clicking “Add […]

I love making things that are good for you and don’t taste like it. Take this puppy, for example. It reeks of health, what with the oats and seeds and nuts and other things that your colon loves to love. But it also tastes like a treat- something you’ll truly have to ration. It’s the […]

This disaster can be likened to the unibrow of muffins. No one likes unibrow. (Please tell me you know what unibrow is. If not, stop reading this and do something simple, like watching Sesame Street or pointing at planes fly in the sky or making my Quickie Toffee Graham Cracker Cookies.) No one likes a […]

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 […]

I know I just made cranberry and white chocolate cookies, but I just couldn’t stay away from the combo. I had extra shortbread dough leftover (from making the most excellent Fruitcake Shortbread with Rum Glaze) and knew I had to reunite the medley of flavors again (also because I really want to use the cranberries before […]

Do you ever want a cake that’s not too sweet? Me neither. But some of you do, I know, and it’s my aim to please all tastes and preferences. So if I’m going to serve up a not too sweet cake, then you need to trust that I’m going to make it a good one. […]

Trying to find a way to satisfy your peanut butter, chocolate and oatmeal cookie cravings all at once? Look no further, bakeasaurus. This tart is basically like the Incredible Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache Pie (which we all fell hard and fast in love with), but baked onto an oatmeal cookie instead of the PB-graham cracker […]

It’s true. If you chop up 3 Butterfinger chocolate bars and toss them (lovingly) on top of your brownie batter, your kitchen and living room will smell like a Butterfinger factory as it bakes for 28 minutes. And the mysterious crumbly filling of said chocolate bars will kind of bake up and congeal into a […]

Why do I keep burning things in our microwave? It’s been four months now and you’d think I’d have gotten the hang of the fact that the big ‘ol box of radiation in our new place has some mad power going on inside of it. Remember the peanut butter casualty? (It smelled like burned PB […]

It’s that time of year. Crowds, weird mall Santas, and gingerbread. Gingerbread houses are interesting things, aren’t they? On one hand, they can be beautiful, and yet on the other hand they can seem incredibly germy. The person making the house obviously manhandles the hell out of each piece, and one has to breathe deeply […]

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 […]

Some ingredients you just don’t want to mix into the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie. I’ll throw anything chocolate into them because I’m always up for a good time (I did buy chocolate covered goji berries with the intention of baking an unconventional yet super-trendy Goji Brownie, but the berries expired and in the interest of […]

This dessert has the potential to change your life. I know you might think that’s a bit of a bold statement, and I know you might think I’m a bit of an exaggerator (I’ve bragged relentlessly about the Decadent Deep-Dish Pecan Pie and the Classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, because they too […]

“Easy as pie.” Now I know where that saying came from, especially when you thaw the pie crust scraps that you’re lucky enough to have in the freezer to make this pseudo pie. It’s also easy as pie to roll said dough into shapes that generally resemble circles, then bake them for a few minutes […]

Just say “yes” to bacon. And while you’re add it, invite cheese to the party, because cheese should be welcome at any party (even the strange party known as the Apple Oatmeal Swiss Cheese Muffin). (But really: bacon. The Husband and I went to Baconfest a couple of years ago and indulged in like 50 […]

This is rich. And dense. And chocolately. And hazelnutty. Think of it as Nutella for adults, in the form of a cake. (By the way- do you say it like nut-ella or noo-tella? I say nut-ella because I pronounce the word nut like nut. I’d never say “this cake has hazelnoots“. Please join me in the campaign to say […]
