This is part of a two-part post on my trip to Argentina with Lucini Italia to meet the growers (and learn more about) their Everyday Extra Virgin Olive OIl. Part One (here) has the recipe for these Dark Chocolate Alfajores With Olive Oil Dulce De Leche that were inspired by the trip. Part Two is all about where we went and stayed…
Let’s chat about these chewy chocolate cookies, but first: I am SO EXCITED that I am finally able to tell you that I’ve been working on a cookbook!! I started working with an agent (hi Leigh!) last December and over months (and months!) created a baking cookbook proposal (that covered all things butter + sugar). When we were finally weeks…
No mistaken I love a chocolate cookie. I’d been dreaming about this rye number for quite awhile and needed the excuse of meeting friends (Adam + Ryan and Christine) for a picnic on the beach in Santa Monica. I only name-dropped because I’m going to bring them up again shortly. Hang tight. I was hesitant at first to even post…
Good morning loves. I hope this finds you well, rested and happy. If not, I hope we’re working on it with some tea…maybe morning stretches or binge-watching your favorite shows. It all works. You’ll get there. I want you to think about this: melty ice cream and glossy pools of chocolate encased in a giant, chewy, slightly undercooked chocolate chip skillet…
A lot of different things are happening with these chocolate caramel pretzel cookies. We whip up a simple double chocolate cookie batter. That’s cool. We’ve done this before. We grab a caramel candy (not too hard, not to soft), cut it in half and shove in the middle of the dough, covering completely. We’re also using dark cocoa powder, because I…
These Salted Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies speak to me in seductive ways that only butter, sugar and chocolate (and olive oil) can. These are the perfect chocolate chip cookie with dark chocolate and flaky sea salt to finish! I adore baking with olive oil in everything from lemony lemon olive oil cakes, my favorite blueberry muffins and these GIANT…
Have we talked about how linear I am? I like to focus on one thing, see it through until completion and then I’m ready for the next project. Currently, I’m working on four different projects andddd…it’s a lot. For me. It’s all great…it’s just an adjustment for my brain. And both of my kids have been sick for what feels…
Picture a chocolate cookie with a slight crisp resistance when bitten and a rich, fudgy center. Then imagine it laced and scented with winter citrus. Yep. It’s that kind of cookie. These chocolate orange truffle cookies come together quickly, take a short spell in the fridge and then are baked off in ten minutes. Not too long from start to finish,…
Soooo…it looks like we really are simpatico. We all like sweets. Hella cookies. Sugar + brown butter is our jam. Are we still saying ‘jam’ in 2017? This past year has been a crazy ride. Some major highs peppered with a couple of lows. We lost Esther…one of our favorite chickens. Will I ever make peace with the raccoons on my…
You guys, I thought we needed one more cookie this holiday season…and I’m excited these peppermint sandwich cookies are it. She’s a keeper. Lightly crisp, hella chewy. And this peppermint cream…I’d like to slather it all over my body and wear it to Christmas day. Do you think anyone would mind? OK…nary a present has been wrapped…so we’re keeping it…
What’s that you say? More peppermint? More chocolate? Powdered sugar that looks like snow? No problem. We got this. These peppermint brownies are simple, come together fast and are loaded with holiday jazz hands. Think hella ooey gooey…my favorite kind of brownie. PS It’s the holidays. Did you get the memo? Suddenly we’re knee-deep in it. And I have a true life…
I like to keep things light and fluffy around here, but I’m not feeling especially so this week. BUT, instead of waxing on about everything you’ve already heard or read, I’ll refrain and just say, let’s spread a little love. A little peace. A little laughter. These cranberry bark cookies will put a smile on anyone’s face. Pour yourself some…
You guys, I made us a fancy cookie. I know. It’s exciting. Did you ever eat French violet hard candies when you were a kid? I was obsessed with them. They usually came in beautifully-designed little tins that I coveted. I think I was as much obsessed with the tins as I was with the candy itself. So when thefeedfeed + method ask…
I realized recently that I’ve been woefully neglect of including oatmeal cookies in the DisplacedHousewife family. Chocolate? Yep, plenty of that. But oatmeal? No love. The loss was weighing heavily on our hearts. An emptiness that just couldn’t be filled. We had to rectify the situation. I set out on a journey to make us PERFECT oatmeal raisin cookies. It was a…
I like brownies. No, check that. I love brownies. The only flaw in brownies, as far as I can see, is the fact that we always make them in that annoyingly small 8X8 pyrex dish. At my house that only feeds four of us. I’m just being completely honest with you guys. One way to get more mileage out of the…
This one’s gonna be a quickie. This pumpkin chocolate chunk cookie is the result of too much time on Pinterest. It happens to the best of us. The entire landscape over there is all apples and pears and toffee and caramel and pumpkin in more forms than you can possible imagine. Pumpkin fritters, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pancakes, donuts, waffles…you name…
We can never have too many cookies, can we? Have you ever tried to bake with marshmallows? Well, it’s a bitch. Their high-sugar content makes them melt in cookies…and then the cookies get oozy on one side and then it might be perfectly spherical on the other. And then you’re left with a lopsided, unsightly cookie. And we all know how…
There is literally so much to discuss I don’t even know where to begin. First, my daughter’s team came in third at the junior olympics. I know, crazy right? I didn’t talk about it much before we left because I didn’t want to put any pressure on her + be that annoying parent to you guys (I get it). But,…
