When the school year comes to a close and that last bake sale before summer comes and goes, you can be confident that your tried and true recipe for such events is also equally at home at picnics, potlucks, and all your summer entertaining.
Sometimes we get cravings. One of mine is a particular variety of Girl Scout Cookies. But what's a girl to do when they aren't being sold? I suppose I could wait until they are … or make a pie that covers all the flavors I'm craving and dig in!
I love quick breads, but sometimes you need a more portable package. That's when cookies inspired by your favorite quick bread are perfect. So grab those ripe bananas from your counter and find your chocolate chips: it's time to bake!
Sometimes, it might seem like the recipes I present just always come together without a hitch. Lest that be your impression, let me share a recent fiasco that involved gravity and a tin of cocoa powder. However, in the end, it is decidedly delicious and that is pretty common when it comes to kitchen adventures, no matter the path!
I love all kinds of desserts: cakes, pies, bars, and more. But when it comes time to decorate the Christmas tree, it just doesn't seem right until I've got some fantastic cookies that speak of comfort, warmth, and tradition.
Before you wonder what kind of weapon my kitchen has wrought, I'll rush to clarify that I'm sharing the cookies I made for my husband to take along for his committee when he recently defended his dissertation. They ate over a dozen cookies!
I love talking about the science and especially chemistry that goes into baking and cooking. So indulge me for a moment while I share an outstanding clip put together by the fine folks at TED. It's short, you'll enjoy it, and maybe even learn a little about what happens when you bake cookies and more.
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly have another delicious cookie." How often do you hear that? Yeah, cookies are amazing and I'm here to share another great recipe for a family-approved chocolate M&M cookie that your kids can help you make. Cookies: bringing families together.
Everyone has their favorite candy bars. It's time to introduce the cookie inspired by my own. A soft, almond-scented cookie that's chock full of coconut, chocolate chips, and slivered almonds brings the best parts of Almond Joy candy bars to the party.
If you are looking for a cookie recipe that keeps soft and fresh for more than a day or two, this one's for you. If you think good things come in small packages, this one's for you. If you like, no love, chocolate … this one is definitely for you!
