From a Baking Legend, An Exceptional Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookie + 3 Favorite Cakes for The Holidays
|
When I read in Zoe Francois’ latest book, Zoe Bakes Cookies, that the trick to making crinkle cookies is to double dip the dough balls, once in granulated sugar and then in confectioners’ sugar, I was intrigued. I had made crinkle cookies in the past, but never with great success, never with dramatic cracks running across the surfaces, never with the texture I had desired. In the intro to the recipe, Zoe describes these crinkles as both “fudgy and crunchy at the same time,” which sounded ideal, and so I made them immediately. Sure enough the crinkles emerged from the oven looking just as the recipe’s accompanying photo: snow-capped with beautifully cracked surfaces. What’s more, the flavor and texture were exceptional: intensely chocolatey, perfectly chewy and moist, almost like a brownie in cookie form. These chocolate crinkles require a little more work than other cookies, but they are so worth the effort, especially for the holidays and most especially for the chocolate lover in your life.

And while these exchanges in the comments section have been sufficient over the years, I thought it was time to give a hot dog bun recipe its own space. Here it is, a no-knead recipe, the dough identical in makeup to these brioche buns, with the mixing process simplified even further. If...
... perhaps we should brush up on our bagel-making? 🥯🥯🥯 Hi Friends, There is a bakery* in Bolton Landing that makes excellent bagels, chewy but light and perfectly seasoned. Every time we visit Lake George, we pick up a dozen and eat them all week, toasted, slathered with cream cheese, and topped with juicy, thick tomato slabs: It's heaven. This week I found myself missing those bagels, so I decided to make a batch. I hadn't made bagels in ages, and I had forgotten how quickly the dough comes...
Friends, hello! As you may know, we've spent the week at Lake George with Ben's family. The weather cooperated, our simple meal plan delivered, and the kids spent every second on the lake, swimming, fishing, wakeboarding. As planned, we grilled every night, until the last, yesterday, when the groceries ran out, forcing us to order pizza instead 🍕🍕 It came from the Hulett's Landing Marina, which has a lovely little shop with all the essentials from coffee and beer to pizza and dried pasta to...
