I Cheated...

Following the post of My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, I cheated on Betty Crocker with a chocolate chip cookie recipe from America's Test Kitchen. Their recipe is called the Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie and obviously, their challenge is to be thick and chewy, which can be a tough one to beat.

Pichet Ong's Spot - Revisited

Tiffany, from FineChinaGirl, and I headed over to Spot Dessert Bar on 13 St. Marks Place in East Village. This is the first time she has been here and wanted to go due to yours truly. The sign has changed since I've been there but regardless of the color, I still love you Spot.

S'mores Crumb Bar

My home had some marshmallows leftover so before it went to waste, a recipe was found to finish the bag: S'mores Crumb Bar. The recipe was found on Allrecipes by its nifty search feature that allowed finding recipes according to the ingredient wanted. There were quite a few dishes that are made with marshmallows but this one caught my attention.

Toffee Bars

Chocolate crinkles are beautiful cookies to give as gifts. They're especially perfect during the wintertime for they look like snowflakes. It has a soft chocolate center that conveys the idea of a cozy home, cookies and milk and a general warm fuzzy feeling.
