How to have freshly baked cookies at (practically) a moment’s notice

Ready for the oven (or freezer) from https://test.pleasepassthepeas.com

I posted earlier this week about my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I realized later that I forgot to tell you one of the best things about it.

Though the recipe works best when the dough is left to rest for a day (or three), a little advance planning means it’s possible to have fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies any time you feel like it and with hardly any effort. …

Worth the Wait Chocolate Chip Cookies

Worth the Wait Chocolate Chip Cookies from https://test.pleasepassthepeas.com

Sometimes life calls for cookies.

And when that happens, this is the first recipe I turn to.

These cookies are, hands down, the best cookies I have ever made and probably among the best I have ever eaten.

Soft in the center, crisp around the edges, studded with molten bittersweet chocolate bits and finished with a sprinkle of flaky salt — these are everything a chocolate chip cookie should be. …

Darn Good One-bowl Brownies from https://test.pleasepassthepeas.com

I stumbled across this brownie recipe a week or so ago when I was reading another food blog and noticed that one of the comments referenced a brownie newsletter.

That’s my kind of newsletter.

A click or two later and I was on the website of Darn Brownies, a brilliant effort to give away free brownies to unsuspecting passersby.

“There are no tricks,” founder Chris Knight writes on his website. “You can take the brownie and run. Our main goal is just to give away a snack and help people have a better day.”

I loved the kind and quirky concept. Plus, the brownies looked pretty good too.

Knight describes Darn Brownies as “a movement to do something good for no good reason.”

Anyone can become a member. He just asks that you try to think up and launch a simple but friendly project in your hometown too.

Generally speaking, I’m not much of a joiner. In fact, as I sit here writing this, I’m having trouble thinking of any other group to which I have an actual, official membership. But I wasted no time at all signing up to become a member of the Darn Brownies movement, in large part because I wanted to get my hands on the (members only) recipe for those thick, dark brownies….

We might be moving again.

If it seems like we just finished a big move, that’s because we did. We’re just getting settled in our new rental house — a house we like a lot.

And yes, I’ve mentioned before that moving is just about my least favorite thing ever. So I’m more than a little unnerved by the prospect of doing it all over again so soon.

But this time we’re thinking about buying a house and, if all goes according to plan, it could be our last move for quite a while. So there’s that….
