You don’t have to tell me how good Dorie’s sable recipe is. Just this past summer I was swooning over the spiced version–such good flavor, such good texture, such easy, delicious little cookies. So this time I decided to shake it up a bit, and try a pecan version. I added ground roasted pecans to…

Molasses Cookies and DSLR Camera Recommendations
Oh friends, I have a serious problem. My beloved digital camera, she of ancient years, scratched body, and pitiful megapixels, has finally bitten the dust. She has been on all my vacations, been present at weddings and funerals, and taken thousands of food photographs. A moment of silence, please. At first I was not too…
Healthy Cookies–Not Quite An Oxymoron
It may not be obvious to readers of this blog, but I am actually something of a Sporty Spice in real life. I love making and photographing and writing about pastries, so that’s what I focus on in this little world, but as the saying goes, woman cannot live on butter and sugar alone…or at…
TWD: Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Sandwiches and Bonbons
Let it be known: this was the week all of my husband’s dreams came true. You see, he is a simple man, with simple dessert needs. While I love deep, dark chocolate cakes drizzled with five kinds of sauces and topped with sorbets that involve obscure ingredient combinations, he likes vanilla ice cream. By itself….
Daring Bakers Knockoff Cookies
I had mixed feelings when I read about this month’s Daring Bakers challenge.

On the other, summers get busy, and whipping out a few batches of cookies…
Tuesdays with Dorie: Coconut Butter Thins
I will be the first to admit that these Coconut Butter Thins aren’t going to win first place in any beauty pageants. However, I think they have a good shot at winning Miss Congeniality (the award, not the Sandra Bullock movie). I made these after reading a lot of feedback from my fellow TWD’ers, which…
TWD: At Long Last, World Peace
Sometimes the problems of the world seem overwhelming. Despotic governments, economies in shambles, wars everywhere you turn…it’s enough to make you want to stay in bed with the covers pulled up. Ladies and gentlemen, I have finally found the solution to all of life’s ills. I present to you: WORLD PEACE cookies World Peace Cookies…
Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
Is there anything better than Nutella? I mean, think about it. Chocolate and hazelnuts get together and produce a sweet, smooth, creamy baby, available in a handy jar. In a jar, people. Basically begging to be spread on everything from croissants to pretzels to your fingers. Sick of healthy apples for a snack? A dab…
