A GF Chocolate Cookie from Dominique Ansel Dominique Ansel might be known for the Cronut but his book, Dominique Ansel: The Secret Recipes will open your eyes to all he can do – which is extensive.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies with the Taste of Your Favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte Pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I wanted to bring the flavor elements of the Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte beverage to our beloved chocolate chip cookie.

Chocolate Cherry Pecan Rugelach
A Rugelach Variation Featuring Chocolate I love a classic rugelach with cinnamon and raisins but the rich, flaky dough is so delectable I was inspired to create other versions.

Browned-Butter Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Rum-Soaked Raisins
Browned Butter Makes a Difference Browning butter is a great trick for giving cookies a slightly nutty background flavor, and the fact that the butter is melted means the cookies are extra-chewy. You can use just dark raisins for these cookies if you like, but the combination of golden and dark raisins adds to the […]

Coffee Pecan Shortbread Cookies
Buttery Shortbread with Pecan Flour and Espresso These are a dry, crumbly cookie, perfect to serve with a bowl of fresh, sliced peaches or strawberries.
