As it’s a uh, again already?!, birthday time, the annual Week of Becky, I deserve a break today. Too, we were away so I didn’t get a cake baked. But no, I’m not really slacking off entirely with this post. Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies are not only utterly totally crave-able delicious, it’s also a terrific recipe […]
Chooooocolate Snickerdoodles. Oh yeah that’s right, Chocolate Snickerdoodles. Who woulda thought that was a thing? Well, now we know! Years ago, yikes, years, cough…I happened to drop by a friend’s place just after she had finished baking up some cookies, her favorites she said. Kindly, she gave me one or two, I ate them, and […]
As I imagine most folks will be in full holiday swing and/or groggily recovering when this is posted, I thought I’d offer up some of our most popular recipes of 2020, ya know, give you motivation (and a list) of yummy stuff to bake in the upcoming year, so hence, Bakes of the Year, 2020: […]
I. Love. These cookies. Love. And what’s not to love about Cinnamon Peanut Butter Cookies, really. Especially when they’re suuuuuper duper simple to make and ooooh so delightful, ever so slightly melting in your mouth, with a dusting of cinnamon….Oh! So tasty these little wonders are. Jen’s got her favorite Peanut Butter Cookies and […]
I know. This seems silly. You can run right out to the store, pop a coupla’ bucks, run home and you’ve got yourself chocolate wafer cookies. But heh, but this is a baking blog, not a grocery store blog! And you have to understand, these cookies are killer. Holy bazoingas are they tasty. The cookie […]
I’ve become obsessed with Mediterranean foods and recipes lately—mostly prompted by my failed attempts to make a good Italian/French loaf. I mean, the bread was fine, but it wasn’t great, so in my quest to learn how to make a truly great loaf, I’ve fallen into a Mediterranean rabbit hole and gotten stuck in traditional […]
Oh. These Gingerbread Cookies. Oh. By the time I share this though, the major cookie baking holidays are over, gingerbread long forgotten, and we’re sailing towards a new year. A new decade! Wow. Ok but do some incredibly serious planning ahead and add these cookies to your list for next year, trust me. Or pffffttt, […]
I’mma keep a’-rollin’ on a cookie theme here and share a Marshall family favorite. We love these Butter Cookies like mad, especially my brother. I’ve entered this recipe in the Chicago Tribune’s annual cookie contest twice now but unfortunately readers must feel these are too boring to vote for. Which is unreasonably ridiculous because there […]
“Hey babe, did you try these Iced Spiced Soft Molasses Cookies yet?” Tries a cookie. “You’re the devil…..” pause pause chew chew chew, spins a happy spin. “……I don’t know where you come up with this stuff,” Mike blubbers. “Babe, I’m a good researcher.” “How……why…….you….you’re the devil,” as he meanders off in a faux huff […]
My house smells amazing right now. Sensational, in fact. The last time it smelled like this was several years ago when I made these S’mores Bars for a holiday party we were hosting. They were SO delicious, SO I-can’t-stop-eating-them yummy, that I was counting my lucky stars that I’d made them for a pile of […]
