Cranberry Almond Trail Mix Cookies

Tuesday August 4th 2009

The recipe is my version of a super-yummy cookie that Whole Foods sells. They’re a real treat, but at almost $7 for a handful of cookies, I wanted to see if I could noodle out a similar recipe at home, based on one of my oatmeal cookie doughs. These come pretty close—and cost a lot less!

Classic Whoopie Pies

Friday June 26th 2009

This recipe makes the quintessential whoopie pie. The cake is moist, chocolate-y, and dense. The filling is creamy, fluffy, and decadently sweet. If our friend D.

They’re speckled with oatmeal and studded with walnut chunks and chocolate chips. A touch of molasses turns them a rich brown and gives them an almost toffee-like [...]

Big Top Marshmallow Cookies

Sunday September 14th 2008

The Lady Otter and I were cruising through Whole Foods last night, on a mission to pick up some flowers for the host of the cocktail party we were attending. It was supposed to be a “quick in and out” trip, as we were already running a tiny bit late. It never quite works like [...]
