You're going to become a Cookie Monster for these Monster Cookies.
See what I did there? You know I can't resist a good play on words. Um, what is a Monster Cookie?
The first time I discovered Monster Cookies was about ten years ago. Mr Tart immediately fell in love with these thick, chunky, chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookies, and they’re the cookie he always asks me to make.
Monster Cookies are a little salty, a little sweet, and...
Guys. GUYS. I made Lemon Sablé Cookies.
I feel so French. Oh la la. What is a sable (sablé) cookie?
Unless you watch a lot of Great British Bake Off or Food Network, you might be wondering what a sable cookie is.
Or, a sablé, if you want to ignore SEO ranking and be properly French. Think of sables as super thin, extra crispy shortbread cookies.
The rich, buttery flavors of the two treats are very similar, but a sable recipe calls for...
If you want someone to fall in love with you this Valentine's Day, make them a batch of Cherry Chocolate Chip Scones.
Because they're the best fucking scones I’ve tasted since I vacationed in England.
Excuse the profanity, Tartlets, as my inner Roy Kent comes out. But, any scones that make me feel like I’ve magically transported across the pond are worth every swear word.
Why are Cherry Chocolate Chip Scones the book-inspired recipe...
It’s the most fattening -- er, wonderful time of the year, Tartlets! It's COOKIE SEASON!
And, Pfeffernusse Sugar Cookies with Easy Marbled Icing are sure to impress all your guests this holiday season.
Why are Pfeffernusse Sugar Cookies with Easy Marbled Icing the book-inspired recipe for Decoding the Stars? Star-shaped cookies seemed an almost embarrassingly obvious choice for the book-inspired recipe for Decoding the Stars. Especially...
I polished off this entire Classic Victoria Sponge in about a week.
Yes, I gained five pounds afterward. Yes, it was worth it.
Worth it, do you hear me?
Why is Victoria Sponge the book-inspired dessert for Gad's Hall?
The Thorley family welcomes a lot of visitors to Gad's Hall. It feels like they're always hosting dinners or having tea, which means they're usually eating some kind of delicious-sounding treat.
I bet you that many a...
We're almost in September, Tartlets, but you can keep the summer vibes going with this delicious and fresh Blackberry Cobbler. There were a lot of book-inspired recipe options for The Sparrow Sisters. Patience, Nettie, and Sorrell grow their own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and Patience and love interest Henry often share bowls of freshly picked blackberries.
Since Patience's garden plays such a pivotal role in the book, I thought a New...
I’d never had an Iced Dirty Chai Latte up until a few weeks ago. Now, I’m craving it all.the.time.
This book-inspired recipe for A Novel Obsession comes straight from the novel – this refreshing, not-too-sweet treat is main character Naomi’s go-to order at the Brooklyn coffee shops where she stalks Rosemary. And, after tasting a dirty chai latte for myself, I can see why. You may remember that I’m not a huge fan of chai. But I...
Allow me to introduce you to the palest Dundee Cake you'll ever meet.
Pale, but delicious. Since The Winter Sea is saturated in all things Scotland, I wanted to make a Scottish book-inspired recipe.
In order to avoid making a Scotch egg or haggis *shudders* I decided to forgo the savory route by making something sweet. After flipping through some recipe books, this Dundee Cake was calling my name. The photos you see here are actually my...
Tartlets, this is my last book-inspired recipe for the year! Can you believe it?
But I saved the best for last because these Spiced Walnut Cookies are my new favorite Christmas cookies. The book-inspired recipe for Christmas Charms was pretty much handed to me – a recipe for “Spiced Walnut Crust Cookies with Chocolate Ganache and Sea Salt” was included in the back of the book.
The combo of walnuts and holiday spices like cinnamon and...
These Peppermint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are bringing the Christmas spirit!
Because, is it even Christmas without cookies? And candy canes?? And chocolate???
I think not. Main character Lori in Aunt Dimity’s Christmas becomes obsessed with creating the perfect Christmas for her family, which includes a lot of cookie baking. Her favorite cookies are “Angel Cookies,” the recipe for which is in the back of the book. I was planning...
