I want dessert. Don't you?
Chocolate chip cookies will never go out of style, and there's always a new recipe claiming to be the best or the Last Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe You'll Ever Need. And honestly, I prefer a more egalitarian approach - it's all going to boil down to what you're in the mood for. And this time, … Continue reading Super Thick Levain-Style Chocolate Chip Cookie from Stella Parks
Now that it's officially fall, it means that turning on the oven to cook is no longer an unwelcome prospect. I came across this chocolate chip cookie recipe on the New York Times and was intrigued by its unconventional additions. It contained rye flour (of which I still had some remaining from my Nordic bread-making experiments), … Continue reading Rye-Cranberry Chocolate-Chunk Poppy Seed Cookies
In the past year, I've completely overhauled my diet. I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables, keep my foods minimally processed... and that also means cutting out sweets. I don't crave dessert with the same intensity as I used to, but every now and then, I just want something a little sweet and chocolatey, … Continue reading Crispy Chocolate Popcorn
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
It's been so long since I last updated my baking blog! But this comeback recipe would be well worth your time - it is a homemade version of my most favorite cookie ever (and I don't use superlatives lightly) - the Tim Tam! Tim Tams are chocolate overloads in a little package. You have a chocolate … Continue reading Homemade Tim Tams
This brownie recipe is the strongest I've seen in a while, and will likely go in the hall of fame for being a delicious combination of flavors and textures that are irresistible to me. When I was making the recipe, I was at first a little suspicious. Why is there more chocolate than there is … Continue reading Sweet and Salty Chocolate Bourbon 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
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
These cookies were inspired by a mom's homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that she had sent to her (adult) children. When I was vacationing in California and visiting a friend, he opened up a package he had just received from his mom and inside was a big tupperware of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Having felt … Continue reading Light and Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I've missed baking with bourbon, and ever since I moved to my new apartment, I knew that this was the time to buy a handle of bourbon to fulfill all my baking desires. While I enjoy a nice top-shelf bourbon for sipping, Jim Beam works just fine when it's going to be complemented with chocolate … Continue reading Bourbon Brownies
