Malted milk balls were never one of my favorite candies growing up. I would get Whoppers when trick or treating and Robin’s Eggs in my Easter basket – and I would eat them – but they weren’t among the first items I would reach for, nor among those that...

What is better than one small batch cookie recipe? Two of course! Once I felt I had perfected my Double Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two, I decided to see if I could create a classic chocolate chip cookie variation. As it turns out, I absolutely could. These chocolate chip...
