Aside from roasting marshmallows over a campfire, one of the best ways to enjoy them is dropped into a steaming mug of hot chocolate. This version combines both chocolate and cocoa powder for a richer, deeper flavor. Using mint and vanilla extract to flavor the drink makes this recipe kid-friendly; however, you can always add…

Cozy Food Alla Norma
Pasta alla Norma is a classic and timeless Italian dish, hailing from the Sicilian city of Catania. It features eggplant—lots of it—in a simple marinara-style tomato sauce. While the ingredients technically qualify it as a late summer dish, it can be prepared year-round, which is good news for us. For something so simple, the flavors…
Holiday Cookies: 7 Festive Recipes for the Must-Bake Cookies of the Year
It’s the most delicious time of the year. The holiday baking season has begun, and for extra inspiration, we’ve rounded up a collection of Christmas-ready cookies from this fall’s fresh batch of baking cookbooks. First, we stop in Germany, where the Advent season is marked by a steady parade of traditional treats. For Anja Dunk,…
Vanillekipferl (Vanilla Crescents)
Vanillekipferl originate from Vienna in Austria, but versions of them are loved and baked throughout Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Switzerland, too. They are a non-negotiable must during Advent for me, and I regularly eat one with the first coffee of the day while it’s still pitch black outside—there’s something most satisfying about eating a moon-shaped…
Devil’s Thumbprints
I’m often asked if I ever make a mistake in a recipe and end up with something good. These cookies were that kind of a lucky accident. I must not have paid attention while I was mixing the dough, because I put in too much chocolate and got cookies as dark and rich as devil’s…
Pistachio-Matcha Financiers
Financiers are cake-like cookies, usually made with hazelnut or almond flour. Named for the stockbrokers, financiers, of Paris and originally shaped like gold ingots, they were meant to be a rich treat for the rich men. My rendition—a treat for everyone—is made with ground pistachios, has matcha and whole wheat flour, and is baked in…
Samoa Bars
In the UK, we’re not lucky enough to have access to American Girl Scout cookies, and that’s a big problem, at least for me. My yearly cravings for thin mint and Samoa cookies remains unfulfilled. Thankfully, both are relatively easy to replicate at home. These simple bars are my vegan take on the classic Samoa…
Goong Goong’s Almond Cookies
These cookies are soft in the center, crisp around the edges, and perfectly sweet, with just enough almond flavor to fill your kitchen with the intoxicating scent of buttery almonds. Better yet, they have the seal of approval from my mom and the rest of my family, which is all I really needed. I hope…
Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
I rarely try to make my holiday cookies in red and green colors, but every once in a while I submit to tradition. These cookies are actually a shade of burgundy (how I like my red velvet to be), but you can add extra red food coloring if you want them to be more vibrant….
