I always get duped by the Girl Scouts. A few years ago, the company I worked for had a spreadsheet where people could share the links for their Girl Scout children’s cookie order forms. I went through all of them, and saw there was a young Brownie who had only hit like 2% of her…
Thin Mint Craic Pie
Shortly after I started working at Milk Bar, they changed the name of their trademark pie from “Crack Pie” to “Milk Bar Pie.” It was called “Crack Pie” because apparently when Christina Tosi first made it, it was such a hit with her coworkers that one said, “you’ve got to take this away from me,…
Cherry Chocolate Layer Cake (One Layer After Another)
When I went to the Betty Crocker Cake Picnic last year, they gave away Cherry Chip Betty Crocker cake mix, and a recipe for a “Cake Doctor” style cake. I didn’t make it right away, because there was no immediate occasion for cake, and I had other things to bake. But I kept it in…
Coconut Chocolate Rye Scones
I’ve been cleaning out my pantry for over two months now, and it’s finally emptying out! Just a few more lingering random ingredients to be used up. One of the most lingering: some dried cranberries. I’m not sure even why they were purchased. I am not usually someone who seeks out cranberries. Nothing against them,…
Mint Chocolate Tarte
In the past week, I have broken a glass, a plate, and a mug. I filled the glass with ice, then turned back around to the counter, and missed by a few inches, hitting the glass against the side of the counter, and it practically sheared in half. Then, I thought I had put a…
Peanut Butter Date Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes is this one, which used date syrup from Trader Joe’s. Tragically, Trader Joe’s stopped selling the date syrup. There’s substitutes for date syrup, I’m sure. Or even other places to get it. I don’t know how much of how good the cookies were was related to the…
Hot Chocolate Mini Bundt Cake
I waxed on about my new baby Bundt pan a few weeks ago. It really is a delightful addition to my kitchen. It would be ridiculous to make an entire hot chocolate Bundt cake in the middle of the week, with no holiday or occasion. But a little mini Bundt on a random Tuesday? It’s…
Ovaltine Blondies
I have been in a bit of a capital-F Funk recently. I can only blame the February doldrums. Perhaps I was too bold in talking about how great a year 2025 was, and I needed to be humbled. There’s been the big things. As in, we started the year with Minneapolis being the most politically-charged…
