Vintage recipes interpreted for the modern baker.
On this Election Day let’s give ourselves a reward for making it through and take a look back (way back) and reflect on the election of 1840. In case you’re counting backwards that would be the election of the 10th President of the United States – John Tyler. Even as a avid history buff...
You guys. I need to tell you about these Pecan Butterscotch cookies. Now I love a good traditional chocolate chip cookie. I ALWAYS have the ingredients on hand to make them if a craving hits. And I have often said that if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life...
