Baking for Bear: Gluten-free peanut butter cookies

Have you ever noticed how cookies offer a solid answer to so many of life’s questions? What are you bringing to the preschool Valentine’s Day party? Cookies. Quick! I need something to take to the dinner tonight! What does everyone like? Cookies. What dessert can feed a crowd? Cookies. You look like you’ve had a hard day. How can…

Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Mint and chocolate are one of the world’s great loves stories. You’ve heard it before, right? Once upon a time, there was a guy named Chocolate. He was hanging out one day, just being all rich and sweet, when the beautiful young Mint entered the picture. She was smart. She was strong. She didn’t need him…

Beany’s Goodnight (Funfetti) Cookies!

Beany’s Goodnight (Funfetti) Cookies!

Recipe development can be a precarious business, filled with ups and downs, wasted ingredients and way too many dishes to count. Some of us overthink things. Some of us underthink things. And some recipes are just downright flops. (Note to self: There is a such thing as too much cinnamon.) Some people, though, seem to…

Sweets in the snow: Cocoa brownies with sea salt

Sweets in the snow: Cocoa brownies with sea salt

We’re knee-deep in snow here in Boston today (or full-body deep as far as our chilly little poodle is concerned), and I’m happy to report that we’re finally getting a taste of the East Coast winters we’ve heard so much about since moving here last summer. Woo hoo! There are few things I love more…

Beany vs. the Boxed Cookie: A Quest for Homemade Fig Newtons

Anyone who’s a parent will probably tell you that, despite all of the times and all of the ways that they feel they’re falling a bit shy of the mark, there are at least a few parenting-related things that they feel pretty good about. It’s been true for us. Yes, we cave to demands for…

Salad for lunch, cookies for dinner: Peanut butter chocolate chip biscuits

Well, we’ve made it through the season of sweets, and now my blog reader and Pinterest feed are filled with fancy salads, whole grains and about seven gazillion paleo recipes. I suppose January is the time for all of that. It’s out with the, “Eat what you want because it’s Christmastime, y’all!” and in with…

Salty, sweet, gone: Chocolate-pistachio sables

Salty, sweet, gone: Chocolate-pistachio sables

If the recipe list on my blog is any indication, I’m a pretty big fan of cookies. They’re my favorite dessert (aside from ice cream) and my go-to baked good for pretty much any occasion. Dinner with friends? Cookies. Housewarming party? Cookies. Something to take to work? Cookies. I’m staying home the entire day with…

Taste of sunshine: Lemon sandwich cookies

When I’m in the thick of summer, smack in the middle of the steamy heat and mosquito-ridden evenings, I have a hard time appreciating the season for what it is. I love cold weather, and my grumpiness level automatically shifts up a few notches when the temperature reaches 80. I know, I would have had…

Delicious endings: Easy chocolate sugar cookies

I’m pretty sure that cookies are one of life’s great triumphs — at least in the world of dessert. Where else are you going to find a sweet that’s so universally loved? A treat that can be baked quickly, travel easily and please grandparents and toddlers alike? They’re like the stuff of fairy tales, really….

Birthdays and Banana Blondies

Birthdays and Banana Blondies

When it comes to birthdays, I tend to follow a celebrate-for-a-week-to-really-get-your-day’s-worth motto. Although I half expected age (aka turning into an adult) to stifle my zeal for stretching out the celebration, it hasn’t at all. I start getting excited about it weeks before and still feel like a kid on the day after Christmas as…
