I confess I was going to wax poetic about the outdoor Viennese market, Naschmarkt, in this post but I am starting to find it difficult to be excited about stuff that happened a month ago. Don’t get me wrong, Vienna was exciting and I really want to go back, but right now all I can…
Caramelized Peanut Shortbread Bars: A Review of A Baker’s Field Guide to Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m headed to I just got back from Eat Write Retreat this past weekend, and I meant to get this posted before I left. Life happened. For those who don’t know, it is kind of a networking workshop–I describe it this way, rather than a conference (despite having never been to one of any kind…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
Cheesecake? Check. Chocolate? Check. Chocolate chip cookies? Check. Delectable graham cracker crust? Check. These babies have it all. I found the start of these bars in Elinor Klivans’ The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook: Recipes from the Classic Cookie to Mocha Chip Meringue Cake; this is one of those over the top creations that I was honestly not…
Salted Peanutty Brownie Bites
I made the mistake of making these bars the weekend of Halloween, inbetween trick or treat nights. In my town, the kids trick or treat twice (once in a city celebration where the local businesses open their doors to trick-or-treaters and once in the more conventional house to house setting), so the kids already had…
Congo Bars
I have a dirty little secret. This year, very different from previous years, my mom has taken a while to ask for Christmas lists (normally she is an early shopper), so I confess I have taken advantage of some of the great sales going on now, specifically at The Good Cook. Where normally I stare…
No Nut Apple Pie Bars
Last week Alex’s kindergarten class studied apples, so her teacher asked me if I could bake an apple treat for them. Because of the prevalence of nut allergies in kids (and indeed Alex does have one child with nut allergies in her class) I skipped past the apple bars I have made in the past…
Molasses Ginger Granola Bars
Well I still don’t have the marshmallows to share. I want to tweak just a few last things–for a 4th batch (most of the 3rd was enjoyed by John’s students lest you think we have turned into marshmallows around here). It’s a hard job, making all these marshmallows, but someone has to do it. In…
Spring Fever: Andes Mint Shortbread Sandwiches
Is anything better than the first week of springlike weather? Especially when you live north of the Mason Dixon Line? Especially, especially when you have been housebound and sick the previous month? No. I realize this is somewhat repetitive of my last post, but seriously, people, I love this time of year. Alas, it seems…
Sugar Cookies, Revamped: Part 1 (Bars)
These bars were born of laziness. Let’s be clear about that. This is not re-inventing the wheel or anything, but I think it worked really well. I also want to emphasize that had I to do all over again, I would have used a coarser sugar on the top with a little less egg wash,…
