Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

11.12.2009 Baked

The math isn’t exactly challenging:  12 cookies in 12 days; this is December 11th; tomorrow is the last day; and I have posted five cookies.  Five.  Bear in mind that I’ve made eight, and have dough for a ninth sitting in the fridge just waiting for several hours of time so that I can play [...]

Caramelly Honey Nut Squares

16.12.2008 Baked

Today is all about nuts.  Lots and lots of nuts — which is perfect for me about now as I listen to the painters downstairs finally, finally ripping the paper off the floor which has been taped on for more than a week.  I thought yesterday they'd be done, but they're putting finishing touches here [...]
