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: September 29, 2011

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...
Post-Christmas Christmas Baking Post

Whoopie! Cream & Sugar turns two.
I had a vague notion of what a whoopie pie was when I started seeing more recipes pop up. Like candy bars and soda, whoopie pies seem distinctly American to me. I didn’t grow up hearing about or seeing any whoopie pies. They weren’t at specialty bakeries or brought out at birthday parties. From what...
