Comfort Dish: April 2010
http://comfortdish.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Celebrating Food and Family. Thursday, April 15, 2010. Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ever torn between making brownies and chocolate chip cookies? Why not have the best of both worlds. This recipe, adapted from Hershey's Made Simple. Makes for near cookie perfection. You could certainly use milk or white chocolate chips instead of the usual semisweet, or try peanut butter or toffee bits for a little variety. 1 cup butter, room temperature. 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Comfort Dish: Loafing Around
http://comfortdish.blogspot.com/2012/04/loafing-around.html
Celebrating Food and Family. Sunday, April 15, 2012. Need a break from the usual quick breads? These are the hot ticket, with their warm, spicy notes and moist crumb. Since glazes can sometimes make quick breads overly sweet and somewhat soggy, I have left these au naturel. Both earned absolute raves and would make delightful hostess gifts any time of the year. Ginger Apple Bread (adapted from Cooking Club of America). 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. 1 teaspoon baking powder.

Comfort Dish: Carrot Cake
http://comfortdish.blogspot.com/2010/04/carrot-cake.html
Celebrating Food and Family. Thursday, April 15, 2010. This version, adapted from Joy of Cooking. Has just the right touch of sweetness and spice. I've taken the liberty of omitting both the chopped nuts and clove. The second, adapted from Paula Deen's The Lady and Sons Just Desserts. Is simply irresistible and perfect for even the pickiest eaters (except my daughter, of course). Finally, I've included a recipe, adapted from The Cake Mix Doctor. 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda.

Celebrating Food and Family. Monday, April 9, 2012. Best Cookie. Ever. Over these past many months, I've been making the usual suspects.Tollhouse, snickerdoodle and peanut butter, among others. But no matter what cookies I bake, my favorite remains my sister Sue's. PS You may want to make extra and freeze a batch, so you can savor these lovelies a little longer. They keep very well for several weeks in the freezer, even frosted and decorated. 4 cups all purpose flour. 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Prehe...

Celebrating Food and Family. Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Corn Flake Cherry Dot Cookies. Still feeling a little retro? I know I am, thanks to marathons of AMC's fascinating series, Mad Men. These Corn Flake Cherry Dot Cookies seem like something a neighbor's mom would have made during childhood (although not mine). My sister, Liddy, who inspires me to bake so many cookies and cakes, said she could taste the care in every bite. Thanks, dear. Corn Flake Cherry Dot Cookies. 2 1/4 cups flour. When not in the kitc...
