recipes worth repeating – biscotti and mostly cocoa brownies
I know, I know, repeats. However, since these recipes were slightly different than the first time I made them, I figured I should share. Plus it’s not like I can make brand new stuff every time! Trust me, I tried. Also, there were a couple of family birthdays, and repeat recipes are always good for […]

(mostly) cocoa brownies
I had a request for these brownies a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been meaning to get around to them. Though there’s a ton of stuff I have logged away waiting to be baked, this request was made by one of my favorite coworkers so I bumped it to the top of the list. […]

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
Here’s a belated Valentine’s treat for you. I found these on Annie’s Eats, and I couldn’t resist making them for the coworkers before the long weekend. They didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, I suspect overmixing was the cause, but they certainly looked cute! I heard from most everyone that they were extremely […]

Homemade Oreos!
How awesome is it finding a recipe for something you love, and hearing from the people that have already made it that it’s spot on? I was so excited to find this recipe. I figured these were my dad’s favorite cookies, and let’s face it they’ve got to be most peoples’, so I couldn’t wait […]

Black and White Cookies
It no doubt stems from the New Yorker in me, but I love Black and White cookies. They’re a perfect balance of chocolate and vanilla, like those half and half dixie cups we used to have on Sundays at camp. (You guys know what I’m talking about.) I always preferred the chocolate half myself, but […]

Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate
One thing I’ve yearned to do is come up with my own recipe for cookies. I don’t have enough experience as a baker to do this fully, but I have picked up on a lot of substitution ideas by reading other baking blogs and comparing similar recipes. Now, it’s probably better to do a recipe […]

Chocolate Crinkles
**I finally realized I should supply you all with new step by step photos of these since I didn’t take them the first time around. Updated 10/3/10** Who doesn’t like a chocolate cookie? Well a bunch of people maybe, but that’s not really my point. These, so far, have been my most requested cookie. I […]
