Friday. It was really, really rainy on Friday. Gray, dreary, cold. The perfect baking weather. I also happen to be in love with rainy days, so Friday was a gorgeous day. Not only was I enjoying the sound of the rain pattering onto the leaves of the trees, but the grayness also cast a beautiful…

Oreo Thins Tiramisu S’mores
Oh. Hi. It’s me again. Me and those home-wrecking Oreo Thins. We have one more recipe to show you… if that’s okay? You might hate us for this one. Sorry. One night, we got this late night craving. You know the one. Everyone else is asleep… you’re watching TV… and it’s like… “Wow, I could…
Date-Sweetened Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies
Would you believe that I started this post about one hour ago? I got so far as to enter in the title of the post, but I got sidetracked searching google for robot stuff for my son’s 6th birthday party. I can’t believe it’s just a little over a week away and I haven’t got…
Nutella-Stuffed Browned Butter & Sea Salt Chocolate Chunk Cookies
It’s that special day of the year again, when people around the world unite to share their love for Nutella – that’s right, it’s World Nutella Day! Almost everyone loves a bit of Nutella now and then (or all the time). Personally, I haven’t enjoyed anything with Nutella in it for a while, except a…
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Around 25 years ago (give or take a year or two), I ate the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever had in my life. I was young and spent time with an elderly babysitter during the summer and after school. My elderly babysitter’s mom, who, of course, was even more elderly, lived just down…
“Raw” Peanut Butter Cookies
I don’t have any New Year’s resolutions. I’m not sure whether that portrays me as lacking initiative or rather being happy with where I am. I’ve enjoyed reading and hearing about other people’s resolutions, however; check out Google Zeitgeist to read resolutions from all over the world. “No junk food”, “Propose to Dawn”, “Quit Facebook”,…

Well, let me help with your decision by recommending that you add these spiced white chocolate chip…
Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
When you’re pregnant and you get a craving, it usually hits pretty hard. It gets to the point where you actually need it, or you feel you may not survive much longer. Apparently, it’s your body’s way of telling you that you need a certain vitamin or some sort of nutrient. I’ve had a craving…
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven – what could be better? My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe has been the Cook’s Illustrated version, the “perfect chocolate chip cookie“, because of the use of browned butter. I’ve made this recipe a handful of times. But once in a while I’ll have to give a newly-discovered…
Peanut Butter Cookies With Chocolate Chunks
It was just one of those weeks. My son had conjunctivitis in both eyes; my daughter was too ill to attend her ballet class; I didn’t have any butter. You know how it goes. I actually made two different types of cupcakes this week, believe it or not. You haven’t seen any photographic evidence on…
