Posted in Cookies, tagged , , on December 8, 2010 | 11 Comments »

On Day two of my holiday baking adventure, I made Toblerone Shortbread.  I got the idea for these cookies from  pastry chef Anna Olson.  She was preparing them on Cityline TV.  She made a basic shortbread and topped each one with a chunk of Toblerone.  I decided to kick it up a notch and mix [...]

Breakfast Biscotti (also known as Mrs B’s Mandelbroit)

  These are a biscotti unlike any other you may have tried.  Traditionally, biscotti are hard, sturdy cookies, made for dunking into coffee or tea.  These biscotti are firm but crisp and quite crunchy and airy all at the same time.  They are delicate and will shatter if you are not careful handling them.  It [...]

Giant Fleur de Sel Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ever since I watched Emma Feigenbaum make Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies on  the “Best Burgers” episode of Everyday Food, I have been unable to think of anything else.  I know that lots of people bash Martha Stewart, but I happen to love this show.  There are no bells and whistles, no audiences applauding when the host mentions cheese, garlic or wine.

   It’s been 16 days since my last post and lest you think I’ve been slacking off, my fellow bread freaks, I have been quite busy with some other baking projects. As a way of saying thanks to all those who are important to me in my life, I bake sweets for them around the holidays.  [...]

Memories of Bubbe Cookies

Posted in Cookies, tagged on August 29, 2009 | 9 Comments »

  Every spring, when I was little, my parents would fold down the last two rows of our station wagon and line it with blankets and pillows.  Then they would wake my sisters and me at midnight and pack us into the back of the wagon, like sardines (this was before the days of seatbelt [...]

Skor Bar Cookies

  This recipe was created by Daphna Rabinovich, a talented baker I worked with at the David Wood Food Shop in Toronto.  She used chocolate chips and walnuts in her version.  I chop up bittersweet chocolate into chunks and omit the nuts.  This is a very fast and easy recipe, great for those times when [...]
