Cookies
Any time you have an opportunity to sandwich two kick ass cookies together with Marshmallow Fluff as the glue, you know you’ve got a recipe for fun on your hands. These cookies are a veritable party- and even if it’s just you in the house, have a party for one. (Which might be better anyway, [...]

Who doesn’t love Madeleines? Really. If you don’t love Madeleines, I want to hear from you. (And for the rest of you, the normal people, I want to hear from you too, because I’d like nothing more than to have an email conversation about how wonderful Madeleines are. They are so good that I [...]

Shortbread cookies are immensely special things. You and I and everyone who has ever tasted sugar and butter baked together into a dessert-like concoction knows that. But let’s be honest with one another, bakers: sometimes shortbread can be a bit high maintenance. Like I said, it’s special, and it deserves to be treated in [...]

This recipe isn’t for the faint of heart. But you didn’t come to this site without a serious sugar and chocolate addiction, though, did you? Welcome, my friend. So picture this: a bottom layer of The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie, followed by a layer of the Ultimate Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie with chunks of Bittersweet [...]

Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies. And everyone loves chocolate. So by my above-average powers of reasoning and just being generally not dumb, I have been able to deduce that a cookie made with chocolate chips and chocolate is a crowd pleaser. (And don’t we all want to please crowds?) These cookies end up with that [...]

Heart-shaped cookies on a stick pretty much say it all. They’re fun, they take the guilt out of eating a butter-filled cookie (because how bad can something on a stick really be? Except for corn dogs?), and the heart shape conveniently takes the place of the Valentine’s card that you forgot to get for your [...]

I might have gone a bit far in the cookie genre department here, but somewhere out there I know that some people will appreciate the combination of the three most popular cookies of all time: 1. Chocolate Chip 2. Oatmeal Raisin 3. Peanut Butter* I also know that somewhere out there the same mixed up [...]

If you’re anything like me, the only thing you care about when looking at the picture of these cookies is the glaze. The glaze that drips off the edge of the warm cookie, hardening into a little pool on the edge: the best part of the cookie. (And I don’t say that because the cookie [...]

This is going to blow-yo-mind. (Well, at least it blew my mind. And I have strong reason to suggest that as a fellow lover of all things sweets, it will do the same to you.) So you take the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie, and you cookie-ify it. Done. I don’t even need to say [...]

Shortbread is festive for many reasons, but the addition of red and green (in high-calorie candy form) makes it legitimately holidayish. So here’s what happened: I had shortbread dough waiting, patiently, to be brought back to life from the depths of our freezer. I had also just made Icebox Cookies (seriously kick ass), and had [...]

Do you know what icebox cookies are? If you do, then you’ll know that they are amazing and you’ll need to bake this recipe today. If you don’t, then you’ll need to believe me that these are amazing and worth making today. You do trust me, don’t you? Icebox cookies are simple- elegantly so- [...]

Cookie cut-outs and red + green + white sprinkles = festive holidays. Sugar cookies dipped in chocolate with red + green + white sprinkles = festive holidays. It’s that simple. Adapted from my Icebox Cookie recipe… 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 egg 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 2/3 cups all-purpose [...]

It’s worth it to have to lightly toast until fragrant, then cool slightly, and then process the little pecan bits to smithereens… all in the quest for the perfect chocolatey-pecanny shortbread. If that description made these cookies seem arduous to make, that wasn’t my intention (because in the grand scheme of things, they are really [...]

This is devastatingly easy to make, and looks fun when served on a half-decent-looking platter at a dinner party. (I say “devastatingly” because there is clear and present danger that you might make these massive cookies for yourself, often. All things considered, they aren’t totally evil since they don’t have fat going on in the [...]

There are people who are just drawn to the splendid concoction of chocolate and peanut butter… in the same way that some can’t get over the whole chocolate-mint thing. (I happen to love both, by the way. Oh, and chocolate with caramel. Don’t forget chocolate and coconut, though- there’s a time and a place for [...]

I have always wondered about the infamous Neiman Marcus Cookie (you know the one, that urban myth about the $250 recipe, blah blah blah). Who cares about the story, I say… how’s the cookie?? It’s pretty kick ass. Yes, you have to go through the step of processing the oatmeal into its own powdery flour [...]

Chocolate chip cookies are fiercely competitive with one another. And why blame them? Everyone likes a good chocolate chip cookie, so cookies have had to step up their game. In a cut-throat cookie world where Google lists about 11 million links to “best chocolate chip cookies”, how does a binge-seeking baker separate the Toll House “please the masses” [...]

Does a cookie seem less sinful if there’s something as angelic as oatmeal in it? We all know that oatmeal reduces cholesterol, and has fiber, and well, maybe negates the little indulgence associated with butter and sugar and chocolate? And corn syrup? Yeah, no, I know. But work with me here… at least these [...]
