In honor of my upcoming FIFTH cookbook, Real Life Shabbos Cooking, I decided to go back and share some fan favorites from my first four cookbooks to give you a taste of my style that you can expect from Real Life Shabbos Cooking. Starting off strong with one of the best cake recipes I've ever made, the impossibly perfect Pumpkin Crumb Cake from my first cookbook, Something Sweet!

May 18, 2026 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! These cookies are unhinged, but in the best way possible. To be honest, I've been dreaming about them for a while. I made them in the past, but in parve. They were good, but they weren't what I was dreaming of. So when shavuos came around, I knew it was the perfect time for these amazing cookies to be made in dairy - to their full potential.  Sure, making the cornflake toffee crack is an extra step, but it is a VERY WORTHWHILE one! In fact, might I suggest doubling the cornflake crack so you'll have extra for snacking on? (Trust me on … [Read more...]
