This recipe is for all of you coconut lovers out there; there is no chocolate, no fruit, nothing to distract from the sweet, rich, tropical flavor of coconut, supported by warm, indulgent vanilla bean. The exterior is golden with a crispy chew and the interior is soft, chewy, creamy...

This recipe for White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Tea Cookies is another of my earliest recipes for my holiday goodie trays having made an appearance for about 13 years now. While I would love to give credit to an original source for the recipe, I honestly don’t recall where I...

Moving from one Dorie Greenspan recipe to the next, this recipe for World Peace Cookies, like the Dulce de Leche Duos, made its way onto my holiday baking rotation after baking it with the Tuesday’s With Dorie group. These are a sablé or shortbread style cookie, which isn’t typically...

I first made this recipe when participating in the Tuesday’s with Dorie baking group way back in 2008 – 2010. Some of you may recall, from earlier posts, that the Tuesday’s with Dorie baking group was actually the impetus for the original incarnation of this website. At that time,...

How do we feel about Christmas in August? Is it too soon? In all honesty, it is probably a little too late, at least it is if I want to get all of my recipes for Christmas goodies posted before Christmas is actually here. Each year, in the weeks...

These are a true chocoholic’s cookie. They are essentially a cross between a brownie and a cookie, featuring a deep, dark chocolate flavor in the base cookie with layered dark, milk and white chocolate flavors coming from the abundance of chocolate chips folded into them. I adapted this recipe...

In the “before times”, I had a recipe on the site for Banana Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies. The recipe was adapted from a banana whoopie pie recipe, but in the process became something very different. So different, in fact, that I no longer used “Whoopie Pie” in the recipe title....
