I want dessert. Don't you?
I love the effort-to-reward ratio of slice-and-bake log cookies. You get these evenly-sized rounds without having to carefully weigh out each blob, or having to roll out dough and ensure an even thickness. These salted cocoa hazelnut cookies are crisp and light with textural contrast from the chopped up hazelnuts, and the flaky sea salt … Continue reading Salted Cocoa-Hazelnut Cookies
I saw these gingerbread cookies when I was at Ottolenghi’s in London. What struck me about the cookies was how soft they felt beneath the packaging, but alas, I never ended up purchasing them in favor of other treats. Luckily for me, the recipe was easy enough to find online and therefore recreate at home. … Continue reading Soft Gingerbread Cookies with Rum Butter Glaze from Ottolenghi
This chocolate chip cookie has such an unusual combination of ingredients that I simply had to try it out for myself. Rye flour, black sesame, and SEAWEED?!

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
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.

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
These are the second oatmeal cranberry white chocolate cookie recipe on this blog, the first being a Cooks' Illustrated version I posted five years ago. Wow, has it really been that long?
