Chewy Salted Hazelnut Cookies

February 1, 2011 by Mariel Goodson 10 Comments

Mariel here. Back in December, I swung by a tree-trimming party at a friend’s amazing loft downtown – I covet her apartment, it’s airy, it’s spacious, it’s for grown-ups. As I found out later that evening, the reason for hosting a tree-trimmer is two-fold: first, it provides an uncontested excuse to chow down on fattening[…]

July 1, 2009 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 4 Comments

Mary Anne here. The best batch of oatmeal cookies that I ever made was last summer, when I failed to read the expiration date on my baking powder. The result was a flat, chewy-yet-crisp cookie.
