Uber Fudgy Peppermint Brownies Recipe


This Fudgy Peppermint Brownies Recipe is actually my favorite Foolproof Crinkly Fudgy Brownies (the best brownies!) but jazzed up with a heap of peppermint flavor and a luscious layer of dark chocolate ganache.

Salted Dark Chocolate Violet Cookies


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.

Balsamic Strawberry Brownies


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…

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?

tahini brownies with black + tan sesame sprinkles


I think the masses out there are going to be divided on these tahini brownies. Not by the taste, but the sound of it. I think half of you are going to say, ‘Hell to the NO!’ And I think the other half are going to say, ‘I love tahini with chocolate!’ To the first group, I say settle down.…

Aloha Cookies

Not sad about that. My biggest struggle with this cookie was the name: Stoner Cookies, Wake and Bake Cookies, Jeff Spicoli Cookies, Kauai Cookies… These were the thoughts keeping me up…

Fudgy Brownies + Caramelized Pecan Brittle


I learned a lot of things on this fudgy brownies journey. First, there’s a brownie for every occasion. Kind of like finding the perfect dress: what’s the mood and occasion? Looking for stability? Sometimes a cakey brownie is just right. Feeling like a hot mess? You want it dripping in caramel sauce. Don’t want to get out of bed? Ooey and gooey…

Smoked Salt Dark Chocolate Rye Cookies


Smoked Salt Double Chocolate Rye Cookies I first started working on this recipe in the middle of Christmas season when everyone was all eggnog, sugar cookies and tinsel.
