Chocolate Mint Thumbprint Cookies

Chocolate Mint Thumbprint Cookies from Baked

January 27, 2011 Cookies

People either love the chocolate-mint combination or hate it. I am a lover, and if you are too, make these fantastically chocolatey cookies ASAP! They were my first endeavor from the new cookbook from the Baked guys.

Chocolate Chip Blondies

Chocolate Chip and Pecan Blondies

July 28, 2010 Cookies

After 20 years of faithfulness to a single chocolate chip cookie recipe, I’m starting to stray. These blondies are caramelly and chewy, requiring only 5 minutes of “hard labor” and 25 minutes of oven time.

White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies with Sea Salt

March 25, 2010 Cookies

While my kitchen isn’t chock-full of fancy ingredients, I do have a few indulgences. I prefer to save them for instances when they’ll be the center of attention, like the Maldon salt on these cookies.

Homemade Graham Crackers

February 22, 2010 Cookies

There’s a certain romance to making normally-store-bought goodies at home. These graham crackers were amazing, and also incredibly addictive: thin and crisp on the outside with just the right amount of give in the center of each cracker. Sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar, and you don’t need anything else.

Daring Bakers: Nanaimo Bars

January 29, 2010 Cookies

The effort-to-deliciousness ratio on these bar cookies is highly favorable – if you can melt butter and stir, you can make these, and people will quickly eat them until they are gone.

Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies

Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies

December 16, 2009 Cookies

What we’ve got here is a basic shortbread base topped with melted dark chocolate, crushed peppermint candies and a drizzle of white chocolate ganache. These were supposed to be my go-to party cookies this year: beautiful, festive, and eye-rollingly delicious. Fortunately, they’re also easy and fun to make.

Mixed Macarons

Daring Bakers: Macarons

October 27, 2009 Cookies

I am officially a foodie lemming: I have made macarons. Once you’ve ventured into the territory where average people (in this country) don’t know what it is you are making, and you are making something you’ve never eaten, something the entire internet seems to shout from its virtual rooftop is THE BEST COOKIE EVER… well, you’ve reached a new level of collective foodie infatuation.

Daring Bakers: Milano & Mallow Cookies

July 27, 2009 Cookies

Since May, I’ve had a poster over my desk at work with COOKIES scrawled in Sharpie at the top, followed by a list of names and check marks. When I needed a favor this spring, my default promise was “I’ll bake you cookies.” At least one person said “I’ll hold you to that.” In July, I made good, embarking on Christmas in July Cookiefest 2009 as part of the July Daring Bakers challenge: Milano cookies and Mallow cookies.

Merry Christmakkah Cookies

December 24, 2008 Cookies

Thin Mints, that epitome of Girl Scout cookies and wintertime salve of chocolate-mint addictions. Fine, the Samoas are great with the coconut and chocolate, and Tagalongs are the cookie version of Reese’s peanut butter cups. Whatever. Thin Mints are iconic.

Oreo Cookies Killed My Mixer

January 18, 2008 Cookies

I used to have a thing for Oreo cookies. Specifically, Double-Stuf (yes, one F) Oreo cookies. If we didn’t make chocolate chip cookie dough, Becca and I used to consume an entire package of the darn things every time one of us slept over. This continued until we were in college. I have probably consumed [...]
