As I write this post, I’m polishing off the other 6 ounces of Whoppers that weren’t needed for this recipe. I mean come on, how often do you have extra Whoppers on hand in the house? And they’re healthy, right? There’s some wholesome milk in them. At any rate, last week I borrowed Dorie Greenspan’s…

peanut butter – chocolate chip oatmeal cookies
What happens when you combine the best traits of three amazing cookies into one cookie? You get the Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie. Like any drop-cookie, they are a breeze to put together. The recipe bakes up 60 of these crispy-around-the-edges and chewy-in-the-center cookies. I particularly liked the addition of the salted whole peanuts. These…

Who’s up for baking a very simple cookie? You know, a cookie where you don’t even need to make the dough! Well, here it is, the Vanilla-Sugar Palmier with Chocolate Drizzle.

glazed citrus doodles
The weather has turned a bit cold, wet and gray, as of late. But who am I to complain after such an amazingly mild winter? To counter the gray, I turned to these bright and cheerful cookies from the May issue of Everyday Food magazine. It’s their riff on the cookie-favorite, snickerdoodle. Here, they’ve swapped…
almond sugar cookies with almond frosting

cherry, almond and white chocolate blondies
That, up there in the photo, is officially Greg’s new favorite blondie. And I can’t argue, it’s pretty darn tasty. You’ve seen quite a few blondie variations here on my blog. There’s a good explanation. They are a one bowl, easy to remember, recipe that revolves around the number one. As in: one stick of…
orange vanilla bean cupcakes
I made these Orange Vanilla Bean Cupcakes over the weekend after seeing them pop up on Annie’s Eats on Friday. They taste great and are really elegant, too. They would be perfect for a spring baby or bridal shower. Actually, they’d be great if you’re just hungry for an amazing cupcake. As I said, you…
cherry striped icebox cookies
Have you ever been working through a recipe and about half-way through the longer-than-expected process, you wondered if the result would really be worth all the time and trouble?

cinnamon caramel swirl bars
Are you ready for something sweet, slightly spicy and very gooey? If you are then I’ve got a treat for you. Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Bars from Martha Stewart’s amazing Cookies App. My original plan was to share a recipe for Lemon Spice Cookies with you. I wasn’t very happy with the photos from that baking…
cranberry walnut oatmeal cookies
This Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookie is one of the reasons that I brought back the 5 Days of Sweets. I adore chewy oatmeal cookies (see this recipe from a few weeks back.) The addition of the cranberries and walnuts add great flavor and texture. The next time I bake a batch, I may throw in…
