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.

Friends, it's here! The season of cinnamon buns and snow scones, egg bakes and breakfast cake, shortbread and rum balls, ham and mustard sauce, glogg and tangerine spritzes. My ham is currently thawing in the fridge, and early next week, I'll make my grandmother's mustard sauce, the condiment that steals the show every year. On Tuesday, I'll make an almond torte or orange and olive oil cake both of which keep well for days and are loved by all. I've included all of my favorite Christmas Eve,...
Hello Friends, A few weeks ago, a woman commented on this chewy chocolate sugar cookie recipe saying she loved all things peppermint and was planning on rolling the unbaked cookies in “peppermint dust.” I had never heard of peppermint dust but quickly learned from an online search it is simply candy canes that have been pulverized into “dust.” I loved the sound of this because I, too, love all things peppermint but I’ve never loved candy canes. A few days later, the woman wrote back saying:...
Hello Friends, About this time last year, I demoed how to make cheese sticks and candied pepitas at the Vischer Ferry General Store. It was "Charcuterie Night," and during the class, with our freshly made cheese sticks and pepitas, we assembled a small charcuterie board together. This was just after Thanksgiving and visions of the holiday were still on my mind, namely a stunning photo of a pumpkin pie, which had been garnished with sugared cranberries. Arranged sparingly but artfully over the...
