🍪 A *NEW* Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for you 🍪 A *NEW* Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for you (that I've had friends whisper to me that this is their favorite of ALL my chocolate chip cookie recipes (!) but I’ll let you be the judge of that). I’m calling these Chocolate Chip Cookies 2.0. ❤️ This cookie has perfectly crisp edges, a gooey center, plenty of chocolate flavor, and a beautiful crinkly top. I spent a lot of time developing the recipe this spring and summer with *sponsored* @Ghirardelli's new line of 52% and 72% cacao chips in 5lb bags, which bring intensely balanced chocolate flavor to these cookies. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ •• Link to the RECIPE in my profile. (And tag me if you make them, I’d love to see!)⁣⁣  ⁣⁣ I tested all my chocolate recipes for my cookbook, 100 Cookies, with Ghirardelli chocolate. You can easily find their professional products online or retail bags at grocery stores. The chocolate is not only delicious but works in many applications, from melting to glazing. I used two different chocolates in this cookie from Ghirardelli’s new line of 5lb chocolate bags. All of their chocolate chips and wafers are non-GMO and are made from select cacao beans, and they have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.⁣⁣ ⁣ _________________⁣ ⁣⁣ #chocolatechipcookieday #chocolatechipcookie #cookiebaking #cookierecipe

Summer seems to be the season of birthdays in our Summer seems to be the season of birthdays in our family. I've been working on the perfect birthday cake for years even though I had others that I liked, but I wanted a cake that baked a little higher, and had a tender crumb that tasted amazing with or without frosting.⁣ ⁣ After many, many tests, I finally got a cake base that I loved. I found the addition of a little almond flour to the yellow cake batter to be the trick: it kept the crumb so moist (over many days), and while I love it piled high with chocolate buttercream frosting, I like it even better without. ❤️⁣ ⁣ • Link to the RECIPE in my profile.
💗 Every Spring, this Strawberry-Rhubarb No-Chur 💗 Every Spring, this Strawberry-Rhubarb No-Churn Ice Cream is what I find myself craving. It’s not easy to find these flavors in the grocery store, but with this no-churn recipe you can make delicious ice cream at home, forgoing the ice cream maker.⁣ ⁣ It's smooth, creamy, and rich. The condensed milk balances the tartness of the rhubarb, while the strawberry adds some sweetness and a beautiful shade of pink. ⁣ ⁣ **Link to the recipe in my profile! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ________⁣ #icecreamrecipe #rhubarbseason #nochurnicecream #strawberryrhubarb
⭐️ new on the blog: Perfectly Chewy Peanut But ⭐️ new on the blog: Perfectly Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies! The recipe comes from @jessiesheehanbakes great new cookbook, #SnackableBakes, and I’ve made them several times now. The cookies are intensely peanut buttery, with crisp edges and a tender, chewy center. The salt both in the cookie and sprinkled on top before baking adds even more flavor depth. They remind me of a peanut butter cookie you’d expect from a bakery, yet they’re easy to make at home.⁣ ⁣ Link to the RECIPE in my profile! ⁣ ⁣ ________________⁣ #peanutbuttercookies #bakingblog #cookierecipe #bakingcookies

Cinnamon Rolls! But instead I ran to the store and Cinnamon Rolls! But instead I ran to the store and got crappy donuts and strawberries this morning after a stressful week of family illness on all sides (everyone is ok!). I did *wish* I had cinnamon rolls, though, so I’m posting pictures in quiet longing. Recipe link in my profile! ❤️

Good Morning! It’s another dreary day here in Mi Good Morning! It’s another dreary day here in Minnesota; we are all pining for a glimmer of sun and semi-warm breezes. I just finished all the photography for my next cookbook, 100 Morning Baking Treats, (that will be out next spring): a collection of muffins, scones, bundts, yeasted and laminated treats. The photos were a 3 month solo project, and I am happy for a little break (I might be jumping into yet another book, but more on that later!). Here are Danish(es) - I didn’t make them this morning but I sure wish I did. You can find the recipe for them in Baking for the Holidays. ❤️
❤️ New recipe! Raspberry Rhubarb Streusel Pie ❤️ New recipe! Raspberry Rhubarb Streusel Pie Bars, the perfect introduction to Spring baking, made in partnership with @Lodgecastiron, using their 9x13 Casserole Pan. I love the sweet-tart, jammy filling with the buttery press-in crust, and oat streusel topping that adds a nice crunch. ⁣ ⁣ 💫 ​Link to the RECIPE is in my profile.⁣ ⁣ Using cast iron for baking ensures a crisp crust and even baking, and the handles make it easy to get the pan in and out of the oven. Plus it's highly versatile and lasts forever! ​⁣ ⁣ •••••⁣ #castironbaking #lodgecastiron #rhubarbseason #bakingrecipe #rhubarbpie⁣
