Galette Des Rois (French King Cake)
Chocolate Brownie Mint Sandwich Cookies
If you are looking for a standout cookie for the holiday tray, these get extra points for indulgence. Fluffy mint buttercream is sandwiched between rich dark chocolate brownies, which are then rolled in crushed candy cane for a festive look and an extra little satisfying crunch.
Meringue Cookies
I’m obsessed with meringue! Soft on a cake, crisp and cakey as a pavlova. I love it in every form for its magical whimsy. These “cloud cookies” are easy to make and can end up a little rustic-looking, which I love. They are crunchy, light, and a bit chewy in […]
Raisin Biscuits
These cookies are a tribute to the Garibaldi biscuit I used to eat in the 1970s. This is one of the few store-bought cookies I remember having at home. I think my folks—who never had sugar in the house—made an exception for this raisin-crammed cracker-like cookie. The sweetness of the […]

This bright, tart, super-delicious citrus curd is perfect for slathering on Victory (Victoria) Sponge Cake or swirled into Lemon-Curd Pound Cake. It can also be folded into Perfect Whipped Cream and used with any number of other cakes, so mix up a batch and let it inspire you. It’s also […]

Whipped Cream Cake
In 1998 I sat next to Rose Levy Beranbaum on a panel of bakers at a Barnes & Noble for a “Celebrity Cook Book Club.” I was freshly out of culinary school and working as a pastry chef at a fine dining restaurant. I was neither a “celebrity” nor a […]
