Everyone has their own definition of what the perfect chocolate chip cookie is. Since this is my show I wanted to share MY perfect cookie. It’s simple, delicious, and easy to make at home (no mixer needed!)

This crisp recipe originated from my time on Star Island. Famously crisp our “If All Else Fails Recipe”. If you burn the cupcakes, torch the pies, and totally mess up the cookies and are on the brink of having nothing to serve for dessert you can always whip up some fruit crisp. It requires no special baking tools or techniques. It’s a very intuitive recipe so trust your gut and make your apple crisp the exact way that makes you happy. And it can easily be made vegan if that’s your thing.

This is my go to pie dough recipe. I’ve probably used it 1,000 times. Making pie dough is so relaxing for me. It’s simple, it doesn’t need any fancy equipment besides your fingers and a mixing bowl.

Happy Pie Day! Pie is one of my favorite genre of desserts. Making pie dough is what I consider one of the most therapeutic acts.

Sweet potatoes are a winter cooking staple for me, so why not add them to a cookie. The mashed sweet potato adds a richness and subtle earthy flavor that marries great with the molasses and spices.

They would pair great with a chai tea latte or afternoon coffee.
