Less-Than-Perfect Life of Bliss: Grammy's Favorite Ginger Cookies. In all these years of blogging, I don't know how I've not shared the recipe for my mom's favorite ginger cookies, but when I was trying to remember the ingredients at the grocery store recently, I was really wishing I had! I first had these cookies at the beautiful Black Walnut Bed and Breakfast in Asheville, NC when Dave and I went for a fun Christmas getaway when we were first married. (Gorgeous place!) They made these for us way back then and were gracious enough to share the recipe. I have no idea if they still make them or where they first got it so if this is your grandma's famous recipe, let me know! I call these Grammy's favorite because my mom LOVES them. 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour2 tsp ginger1 tsp cinnamon1/2 tsp clovesIn the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until creamy.

Brooks Headley, pastry chef at New York City restaurant Del Posto, said at last month's Brooklyn's Food Book Fair that sugar can overpower other flavors, and ultimately dull the palate.
Pastry chef Joanne Chang, who owns Boston's Flour Bakery, echoes Headley's sentiment in her new cookbook "Baking with Less Sugar: Recipes for Desserts Using Natural Sweeteners and Little-to-No White Sugar.

Dessert Recipe: Hot Baked Nutella & Cream Cheese Sandwich — Recipes from The Kitchn. I put the word dessert in the title of this recipe to make sure that this crisp, gooey temptation didn't accidentally find its way into your lunch. Or dinner. This isn't a meal. It's not a snack. It's really not for breakfast. Truly. I'm warning you. This is all dessert. When all of this is heated up in the oven, with a crisp toasted exterior and hot, gooey interior, oozing with tangy cream cheese and the scent of chocolate and hazelnuts, you'll see what I mean.

Apricot Coconut Cake. When I make a dessert, it must fulfill two requirments. It must be both a) tasty and b) beautiful.
