You may think a chocolate chip cookie cannot be improved upon, but what if I told you it could just have a little bit of pizzazz by adding tahini paste? Tahini is sesame ground up, until it reaches a creamy consistency. It adds a bit of nuttiness and savoriness to your standard chocolate chip cookie … Continue reading Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies by Ocean Spray
This is the third oatmeal cranberry white chocolate cookie recipe I've posted on my blog, the others being Cooks' Illustrated and Serious Eats, and I think this one is one of the more successful ones.

Banana Zucchini Bread with Chocolate and Walnuts
The end of summer is one of the best times to eat seasonally, as plenty of produce are in abundance. While I enjoy sweet juicy summer fruits like peaches and berries on its own, zucchini, a summer squash, needs a little transformation to truly be palatable. My favorite way of consuming zucchini is in the form of a … Continue reading Banana Zucchini Bread with Chocolate and Walnuts
Red Velvet Marble Cheesecake Brownies
I am pretty certain that this red velvet cheesecake brownie takes the cake for being an all-star red velvet recipe.

Red Velvet Cupcakes from Bobby Flay Throwdown
After having a red velvet cupcake from Two Little Red Hens, my hankering for red velvet cupcakes was insatiable. It's unfortunate how far away Two Little Red Hens is from my apartment, so it's a rare treat that I have maybe a couple of times a year. I was desiring a red velvet cupcake up … Continue reading Red Velvet Cupcakes from Bobby Flay Throwdown
Salted Caramel Fudgy Brownies
This brownie is an elaborate affair. It involves a salted caramel filling and a whole bunch of different ingredients I don't normally keep (heavy cream, sour cream, corn syrup), but the resoundingly positive response to these have been worth every minute of labor I put into these. The texture is rich, fudgy, and just a … Continue reading Salted Caramel Fudgy Brownies
Chocolate Speckled Salted Shortbread
I wanted to get back into my baking groove, and instead of being paralyzed by the wide variety of recipes at my disposal, I decided to keep it sweet and simple: a bare bones shortbread recipe. It was also easy to shape - all I needed to do was press it flat with my hands … Continue reading Chocolate Speckled Salted Shortbread
