Cookie of the Month: Prioritizing pumpkin for ‘brownies’

By rahoward, on October 31st, 2022

Despite my misgivings about all things pumpkin spice (which is mainly due to its too-earliness, if anything), I know that a little pumpkin — and its accompanying spice — can conjure up something delicious.

Sometimes, on the way to one thing, another is discovered. This was the case for my recent Kansas Country Living . . . → Read More: Cookie of the Month: Prioritizing pumpkin for ‘brownies’

Cookie of the Month: Having more fun with blondies

By rahoward, on August 29th, 2022

My idea of blondies (bar cookies, not actual blondes) was that they were simply chocolate chip cookie dough, spread into a pan and baked. Not necessarily so, as I discovered when I checked into recipes for them. Had I ever really made an actual blondie? I realized I had not.

Cookie of the Month: Milling around California history

Our lack of rain this winter had me nervous and twitchy. I wanted to inspire more precipitation and thought I might get some sort of magic from visiting a place where water was not only flowing, but a source of power and purpose.

Cookie of the Month: Bringing best of everything to bars

By rahoward, on August 27th, 2021

A couple of years ago, or so it seems, I saw a video recipe for something that looked extra delicious. The recipe, from Bobâ€™s Red Mill (https://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes/how-to-make/cherry-lime-butter-bars/), featured an almond-y cake type of crust (made with almond flour, lots of butter and lime zest). On top was a filling of a cream cheese . . . → Read More: Cookie of the Month: Bringing best of everything to bars

Cookie of the Month: Taking lemon bars to tart level

By rahoward, on April 30th, 2021

Lemon bars bring up good memoriesâ€¦they were among the first treats I ever prepared and took to share with others. I was a freshman in high school, in Latin class (yes, Latinâ€¦do they teach it anymore?), and since we were (surprisingly) a small group, we often got permission to bring and share goodies, . . . → Read More: Cookie of the Month: Taking lemon bars to tart level

Cookie of the Month: Feeling the (red-hot) love via bars

By rahoward, on February 12th, 2020

It probably sounds strange that when it comes to Valentineâ€™s Day, I think of sugar cookies, not chocolate. Maybe I have holiday goodie dissociative disorder, but my Feb. 14 tastes run directly back to childhood, where, along with white embossed cherry suckers and chalky conversation hearts, there are sugar cookies, too, that I . . . → Read More: Cookie of the Month: Feeling the (red-hot) love via bars

Baked Sunday Mornings: Jamming with a breakfast bar

By rahoward, on May 6th, 2018

I have plenty on my plate, but Iâ€™ve enjoyed adding trying out the recipes from Baked Sunday Mornings to my â€œto-doâ€ baking schedule. It gives me a chance to attempt things I might not have otherwise and share with fellow bakers the results! While I cannot commit to making each recipe on the roster, I . . . → Read More: Baked Sunday Mornings: Jamming with a breakfast bar
