I loooove finding a good recipe and sticking with it and this is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe! Sometimes I’ll separate the dough and do half with just one pecans, it’s like a butter pecan vibe and I love it. Also I know it’s a popular recipe, but for good reason!!!

Chocolate chip cookies can be a polarizing topic, but this is definitely my favorite baking recipe: https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a26789617/chocolate-chunk-cookies-recipe/ Even the commenters have differing outcomes/opinions, but I've made these countless times (after converting the measurements to grams), and they come out perfectly soft, gooey, melty, and a little crispy around the edges every time. I do take the time to brown the butter versus just melting it, and occasionally, I use some fresh grated nutmeg instead of cinnamon! I also usually portion them out and freeze them individually for on-demand freshly baked cookies, which is so dangerous.

Woohoo, thanks Steph! Can't wait to dig into the book... although the rye gougeres might have jumped to the head of the queue. We're always in the market for novel vehicles for ingesting more pastry AND cheese!

I already own the book as stated BUT I must comment that everyone must try the recipe contained therein for the hand-rolled pasta. It’s not that hard and is just incredible. Get good flour from Hayden or Deep Roots or whomever, and roll it up! It’ll change you. I wish I could remember the name but someone has my cookbook.

That would be the Any-Grain Egg Pasta Dough, which you conveniently bookmarked for me with a postcard. I also appreciate the stars and dates you added to recipes you loved, like the Crespelle Cannelloni, which got 5 stars out of an unknown star scale (I'm assuming five is the max; who's ever heard of a six-star scale??) I'm still entering you in the giveaway, and if you win, we'll just figure something out.
