Classic Brownies

Bittersweet Decadence Cookies

When you find a cookbook that works for you every time, you naturally go back to it whenever a craving strikes.  This weekend, my daughter wanted me to bake her some cookies for her after school snacks this week.  So, I headed straight for Alice Medrich’s Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt in Your Mouth Cookies book.  The […]
