Sam has been chosen as Student of the Week, which means she gets to bring in whatever snack she wants to for the class on Friday. I saw these Snickerdoodle Party Cookies in the December, 2018 issue of Bon Appetit, […]
An nice relaxing afternoon in the kitchen, making cheeseballs for holiday parties and cookies, well, just because. Related posts: Recipe: Cranberry-Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies Christmas Cookies with Samantha Christmas Cookies Gingerbread Cookies
These might possibly be my favorite cookies ever. On the planet. A little salt, some brown sugar, oats and chocolate. They are amazing. Recipe here: Crispy Salty Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies. Related posts: Crispy Salted Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies Recipe: […]
I made dough for both Sugar Cookies and Gingerbread Men, but this year, we only got around to making the gingerbread. It’s a winner of a recipe, super easy and just enough spices to make it interesting, not dense. Roll […]
All I wanted to do was bake. A little afternoon activity with Samantha. I was just poking around the internet, looking for something to make, and I found this. I fell, and I fell hard. Salt? Oatmeal? Brown sugar? Come […]
I have found a sugar cookie I can really get behind. Not just an excuse to have pretty red and green colors but actually a tasty cookie you’d want to eat on its own. I found this wonderful recipe on Food52. […]
A couple of pics from our annual Journal News Cookie Swap, held this year at Chef Central in Greenburgh. See more great photos by Mark Vergari in our lohud photo gallery here. See all of this year’s cookie recipes here: Small […]
Well, she’s a little young yet. But she really likes what parts she can do! After a dreadful afternoon of crying, crying, crying, she settled down enough to quite enjoy a little rolling and cutting. We tried gingerbread. It was […]
I’m a huge fan of Dorie Greenspan’s recipes. So when I came across one that sounded just perfect for this Christmas — do-ahead but still festive — I jumped. Her Honey-Spiced Madeleines, found in Around My French Table, also have […]
Food and Wine’s latest issue has a story about a new book with a good cause: Cookies for Kids Cancer: Best Bake Sale Cookbook. Author Gretchen Holt-Witt’s son was suffering from pediatric cancer, and she baked 96,000 cookies one holiday […]
Vegetarian chili, cornbread, and cookies — of course. Related posts: Sunday Supper at the Ranch Sunday Supper with Grandmom and the Ranchers: Burgers, Wedge and Corn Salad Sunday Night Supper: Mini-Thanksgiving Supper at the Ranch with Sarah, Mae, Jane and […]
This is not by any means a family tradition. At least not yet. In fact, I’m not sure our family has ever baked cookies together. But it might become one next year, because it was a lot of fun, and […]
This December, I worked with a chef at the Culinary Institute of America to put together a holiday cookie article. He came up with the recipes, and we asked for variations on those. So with three basic doughs, you ended […]
These are very easy and fast to put together. The recipe comes from Martha Stewart, and it’s really tasty. I skimped on the cayenne, afraid some people would find them too spicy. Don’t. It barely registered. You need the full amount. […]
I love Sand Tarts, the cookies also know as Mexican Wedding Cakes. So when I saw a variation of them over on Smitten Kitchen that used — of all things! — chestnuts, I knew I had to give it a […]
This is not the kind of recipe you’d typically find on Sour Cherry Farm. I don’t think there’s one ingredient that we could grow ourselves. But let me tell you: after one bite, you won’t be able to resist these. […]
Sarah turned me on to the Smitten Kitchen web site, where there are a lot of good vegetarian recipes and tons and tons of sweets. That girl likes to bake! I normally don’t like to bake, but these cookies are […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
