Oatmeal chocolate-chip cookie butter cookies

Oatmeal chocolate-chip cookie butter cookies

  I think we can safely say that baking weather has begun. Maybe some of you in cooler climates or some of you with central A/C can bake year round, but this apartment dweller in hot and sweaty New York cannot. Pretty much from May until October, the warmth from making toast is the only...
Copycat Levain Bakery Cookies

Copycat Levain Bakery Cookies

It took five years and four trips to New York City for me to finally find the time to make it up to the Upper West Side to visit the famous Levain Bakery. There are few “best of” type shows on the Food Network or “best of” NYC lists that don’t mention how amazing and...

Clippings: December 8, 2011

The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. Salty honey pie. You had me at salt. More salty-sweet goodness: chocolate chip bars with a pretzel crust. When I think...
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf

Seeing as how I’ve been strongly suggesting pumpkin recipes in my Clippings posts of late, I thought I should finally get around to doing something with pumpkin. Hopefully this won’t be the last foray because I believe you can safely get away with cooking with pumpkin between September and December. Unsafely, I see no problem...
Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Bars

I think Halloween candy shows up in stores so early because we all end up eating it well before the end of the month. I mean, for the consideration of lunch boxes, candy dishes and movie nights at home, the fun sizes should be sold all year. But then the candy frenzy of October wouldn’t...

The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. I know I’m not one for kid-friendly cakes, but something about this root beer bundt cake makes me very happy. Feeling...
Chocolate-Fig Oatmeal Bars

Chocolate-Fig Oatmeal Bars

A good bar cookie can sometimes run circles around a regular old cookie, especially if you’re like me and enjoy thick, soft cookie middles. A pan of bar cookies can be looked upon as a pan of cookie middles for the most part. The edges, of course, get that crisp edge of a regular cookie,...

The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. A tomato salad sandwich sounds like a perfect solo supper. Although it’s unlikely that my cherry obsession will allow me to...
Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream Bread

Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream Bread

I have no clue why I decided to try this recipe. Ice cream bread. Yes, exactly. WTF. It sounded like some sort of Frankenfood.  And given that it originated in a Southern Living cookbook, I guess it kind of is. It’s the type of thing you might see Paula Deen whip together; the type of...
Absolute Best Fudge Brownies

Absolute Best Fudge Brownies

It happened one afternoon.  Not in a moment of hunger. Not in a moment of hormonal upheaval. It just arrived. A deep, dark craving for a super fudgy brownie. My apathy to chocolate was appalled and held on strong for about three days before I gave in and let the itch win. But, I wasn’t...
Nigella's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nigella’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

  Nigella Lawson is my biggest girl chef crush. I gaze lovingly from afar (my chair is not very close to the television) and both wish to be her, dipping into the leftovers past midnight, and to be sitting across the table from her, staring at her brown locks and eating her gorgeous food. The...
Salted White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Salted White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

  There was a time in my life where I made the same batch of cookies almost weekly. They were my specialty and became a staple in lunch bags and the fingers of those seeking an evening treat. The recipe was from the milk chocolate Chipits bag and was marked by its use of melted...
