Thick, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies

Thick, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies
I woke up Sunday morning craving oatmeal raisin cookies something fierce, so I tried to make myself eat oatmeal with raisins and brown sugar in it for breakfast but that didn’t work, and so there was nothing left to do but to bake cookies. My life is so hard, innit? I have very specific tastes in oatmeal raisin cookies. A crisp edge is always welcome, but the rest of it must be thick and chewy. Just to confuse, this is unlike other oatmeal cookie recipes on this site, the crunchier chocolate chip pecan version and the thick but shattery, salty white chocolate version. Nope, my oatmeal raisin cookies demand their own texture, and one I can’t get from those other recipes. I start with the standard recipe on every can of Quaker oats and then start making it better. And then I try not to eat them for breakfast. Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies The last trick to getting a really thick, chewy cookie is to chill the dough before you bake it. This is a half recipe.

Shortbread Buttons Button up, let's bake! After baking macarons last night once again I felt inspired to attempt some ather recipes. I stumbled upon Nikole Herriott's flickr page which provided me with Shortbread button recipe & amazing photography. What more can you ask for. homemade oreos Just before I left for the airport Monday morning, I stopped short and ran back inside, not because I forgot my power cord or business cards or anything normal like that, but to make myself a turkey sandwich. My flight left late, of course, and by the time I had time to unwrap my semi-smooshed last bit of home-cooked anything, I was so hungry, I was ready to ask the 18-month-old next to me to share one of his drooled-upon teething biscuits. Proust may have had his madeleine and my husband may have his pickled green tomatoes, but I had that turkey sandwich and in the one bite I allowed myself before the drink cart finally brought me something to wash it down with, I had found a happiness I didn’t know could exist at the front end of a much-dreaded three day business trip to a nine-acre enclosed glass pod. It was the best thing I ate for days. Oh, they’re good. And when finished? Hey, Look! Homemade Oreos Adapted from Retro Desserts, Wayne Brachman Makes 25 to 30 sandwich cookies

Inspiration and ideas of dessert recipes such as cupcakes and muffins, pies and cakes, cookies, biscuits and brownies Homemade Nutella Many years ago I worked in a restaurant in New York with a group of other cooks, who were mostly women and we were all friends. We’d gather in the cold morning kitchen, working around a communal wooden counter near the warm stove armed with cups of strong coffee as we set about our various tasks while engaging in conversations while doing all the repetitive work of chopping the piles of vegetables we used for soups, salads, and other things that we were going to prepare the rest of the day. One woman, who I’ll call Mary Smith (and who, for some reason, we all called her by her complete name, “Mary Smith”, rather than just “Mary”), was bookish and almost librarian in her demeanor, and she was attending a local Ivy league institution, getting her doctorate in Russian and Russian studies. As I’ve come to believe, it’s as if they’ve implanted something in my brain so stores in Paris can know what I’m out of so that when I get there, they can be sure to not have it in stock.

Homemade Oreos I almost never repeat recipes. I have soooo many recipes bookmarked and dog eared that it just doesn't make sense to bake the same thing twice. This recipe is the exception. These cookies are the most demanded item that I bake. As a matter of fact you probably won't even believe me if I tell you who requested these cookies. I first saw these cookies on Smitten Kitchen (one of my absolute favorite blogs, ever!) The filling is a dead ringer for the oreo filling. These will definitely impress anyone you make them for.

peanut butter cookies People often ask Alex and me if it is difficult living near a trendy NYC bakery, the kind with the mind-bogglingly long cupcake lines outside at what seems like all hours. It probably would be if I found their generic cupcakes, brownies and cheesecakes more tempting but come on, this is me and you just know I think I make these better in my tiny kitchen. Of course, this completely excludes their peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, a recipe I have been promising you I’d conquer for so long, I can’t believe you all haven’t organized a mutiny yet in disgust–especially when you learn that the recipe had been at my fingertips the whole time, it just hadn’t occurred to me. It circles back to so much of what I just don’t *get* about these trendy bakeries. Not only are the baked goods unoriginal, there is a veritable family tree of bakeries simply stealing their former employer’s recipes and shop look-feel. Adam Sternbergh at New York Magazine sums it up well: Within this lies my “duh!”

Love and Olive Oil strawberries and cream biscuits Did you go strawberry picking last weekend? Did you haul home too many and they are disintegrating faster than you are able to can, preserve, or pluck them individually into your mouth? Do you have strawberry-stained fingers and toddlers? It’s like a strawberry shortcake, stuffed inside a single cake. I thought long and hard about this when I made these what I confess to be a year ago. One year ago: Roasted Peppers with Capers and MozarellaTwo years ago: Lamb Chops with Pistachio TapenadeThree years ago: Lemon Mint Granita and Pickled Sugar Snap PeasFour years ago: S’More Pie and Jim Lahey’s Potato PizzaFive years ago: Black Bottom Cupcakes and Spring Vegetable Stew Strawberries and Cream Biscuits Last year, I shared a cake in which strawberries would ideally almost melt into the batter, leaving jammy puddles in their wake. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In the bottom of a large, wide-ish bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Generously flour your counter.
