Make Your Own Milano Cookies
Rather than going out to buy something for your sweetheart, stay in and bake these homemade Milano cookies. Everyone is familiar with the delicious Pepperidge Farms treats, with their crisp and crumbly cookies sandwiching a thin layer of chocolate. However, the homemade variation takes the cake — or that is, the cookie!
Easy as Apple Pie Bars
There's nothing quite as comforting, all-American, or nostalgic as homemade apple pie. While I'm a huge fan of the classic version, when I came across this recipe for apple pie bars, I got really excited. I'm always on the lookout for desserts that can be made in advance, are portable, and don't require utensils and a plate.
Thumbprint Cookies Are a Norwegian Tradition
One of my good friends was recently explaining how much she missed her Norwegian grandmother's Christmas cookies. She recalled them as a simple butter cookie marked by her grandmother's thumbprint and sprinkled in sugar. I took note of all of the details and luckily, I was able to find a recipe that matched her description.
Ditch the Gingerbread Men in Favor of Gingersnap Palmiers
I enjoy croissants, appreciate brioche, and have been known to eat a madeleine or two. But, the one French pastry I'll never, ever turn down is a good palmier. It's that weightless flakiness, caramelized crust, and buttery end note that get me every time.
12 Days of Edible Gifts: Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Last Christmas I really wanted to make the cookies that were on the final page of the December issue of Martha Stewart Living. It was a recipe for chocolate peppermint cookies dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies. Unfortunately, I never got around to baking them.
Name That Dish!
There are many variations for this nougat-like Christmastime treat, but the basic recipe involves granulated sugar, egg whites, corn syrup, vanilla, and nuts. It's sometimes garnished in the center with a pecan half or a cherry, and would make a perfect edible gift for the holidays. Do you know what it's called?
