Last week I shared a basic recipe for brookies – the smash-up recipe swirling brownie and blondie batters into one delectable treat, perfect for when you are not sure which dessert you’re craving more. But what if you decide you have an equal craving for both brownies and blondies...

Sometimes I can be a little bit indecisive – for instance, do I want brownies, or do I want blondies? They are both so good that sometimes I can’t choose. Or, maybe it is that sometimes I just don’t want to choose, I simply want both brownies and blondies...

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...

They have a soft chewy texture (imparted by the addition of cream of tartar) and a warm, comforting, cinnamon flavor. For me, I would say that snickerdoodles are...

Cowboy cookies are a hearty and delicious adaptation of classic oatmeal cookies where the raisins are swapped for loads of sweet, salty and texturally pleasing mix-ins. The exact origins of the Cowboy Cookie recipe is unknown, but there are similar recipes dating back to the 1930’s – 1950’s such...

Speculoos (or speculaas, Spekulatius, or Dutch windmill cookies) are a spiced short bread or short crust cookie (or biscuit, if you prefer). They have a crisp texture and a rich, warm, comforting spicy flavor imparted by cinnamon (mostly) as well as nutmeg, clove, ginger, cardamom, and pepper. My kids...
