I must admit I am getting restless with all this baking. My “must try” recipe file is getting bigger than my waistline! It doesn’t help that I keep subscribing to interesting feeds from other feeds I normally feed off (no pun(s) intended) - a vicious cycle for a foodie. But while I see a lot [...]
Here’s an interesting “shortbread-like” recipe that has only 4 ingredients and can be made in a food processor. What?! It’s true my friends! I must admit I’m not a shortbread fan, but l am a fan of baking and cooking. This recipe from Melissa Clark at the NY Times site is fool proof. I like [...]
I first heard about this cookie from my daughter who has learned wisely about cookies from her mother. She visits New York quite often and this is a staple part of her diet – which worries the heck out of us, whenever she is there. This is – make no mistake about it, a rich [...]
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Have a drink when you get home today! I initially was looking for something to bake that would have a green element to it, but then I found this recipe. As soon I saw the ingredients, I just knew it would be a hit. At first glance it looks like an [...]
Okay who made pumpkin anything this Thanksgiving weekend?! Yes me too, I made a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing. Moist and delicious just like a carrot cake but with pumpkin. But this recipe isn’t about the cake (I didn’t take pictures so can’t blog about it, but it was a hit so will definitely [...]
This was an experiment – it could have gone either way, but if it went that way – you wouldn’t be reading this. Oh it was a pleasant surprise! A delightful soft cookie with flavor combinations that really aren’t that unusual when you think about it. I’m sure if you have been to Italy you [...]
I know, it's been a while, lots going on that kept me busy. But I will make it up to you with this recipe. I call this the All-in Cookie. It is packed with a variety of flavors from dried fruit such as cranberries, currants, raisins and sour cherries all reconstituted in a bit of [...]
This is a tasty grown up cookie. It has all the elements of a child’s cookie – but it has the unmistakable quality of an adult cookie. The espresso in this coffee is wonderfully pronounced. This is originally from a Dorie Greenspan cookie which – as you know, is one of my favorite Pastry Chef’s. [...]
If you look back on my cookie recipes, the one fairly common ingredient I have never used in my cookies is white chocolate. Something about the taste of it that bothers me. But, one look through this recipe – slightly adapted from the “oh my veggies” website, and I knew I had 2018 Christmas Treat [...]
Back in November, this cookie was making the rounds on the web. I had to try it as it had my two of my favorite (I have lots of favorites) ingredients in it – peanut butter and paprika. It was done on about 4 or 5 sites, I liked the one David Leibowitz did [...]
