Ok, I am going to just come out and admit it. Half the reason I love these cookies is that they are so darned cute looking. Seriously, pastel shades of yellow and pink scream "spring is here!" to me. Even when the weather is screaming "sorry, spring has been cancelled this year! We're alternating between winter days and summer days until further notice." Oops. This totally wasn't meant to be a rant about the weather. But once we're on the topic, how crazy is it that in a span of a couple of days, I went from sweatshirts and shivering to how-high-does-the-AC-in-this-car-go. It's a pain trying to get dressed for the day when you have to remember that there's a 25 degree fluctuation … [Read more...]
Neapolitan Zebra Cheesecake
Every now and then, a person is lucky enough to come up with an idea that's pure genius. I consider myself endlessly lucky to have a platform, both here on the blog and in my magazine column, where I can share my occasional stroke of brilliance with a couple of folks. Well this one was one of my most incredible strokes of genius. Ages ago, I posted this Zebra Cake. Then I took it a step further with this ever popular Zebra Bundt Cake. And ever since then, the concept of zebra cakes and such have been in my head constantly. I wanted to create a zebra cheesecake, but plain chocolate and vanilla has been done so many times, and I wanted to do something a little more extraordinary. That's when … [Read more...]

Maple Sour Cream Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean Bourbon Glaze
This post is going to be very short, but it's totally worth it because I have a fabulous new bundt cake recipe to share with you today! My awesome friend BL came to my house for Shabbat recently, and in her honor, I knew I had to come up with a delicious cake to serve.

Cappuccino Cream Cheese Cookies
I'm so excited to share this recipe with you folks today! I recently developed these cookies for company called Baker's Choice. I've been a fan of theirs for a while, and I'd like to tell you a bit about them. For kosher bakers and those in the New York area, Baker's Choice is found to be a familiar name. But for those who haven't heard the name before, let me introduce you to their fabulous line of baking products. They sell a full line of non dairy chocolate chips, non dairy peanut butter, caramel and, best of all, cappuccino chips. These chips are full of coffee goodness flavor, and provide a nicely different flavor from the typical chocolate. Also...coffee, duh. Anyway, in honor of the … [Read more...]

World’s Best Healthy Oatmeal Protein Cookies
Hey friends. I haven't been posting much lately, but I blame that on a combination of a humongous magazine deadline and serious dieting. I'm finally done with my deadline, so I figured I'd share one of my greatest diet recipe triumphs ever. Ok, so I know that diet and cookies don't seem to belong in the same sentence. And in most cases I'm inclined to agree. But sometimes even a serious dieter needs a treat, and if you're going for a treat, this is a less guilt inducing option than most cookies. There's a secret ingredient in these cookies that gives them a phenomenal texture and an added bit of protein. Don't let it scare you off though, because these cookies taste dee-lish-us. Healthy … [Read more...]
S’mores Surprise Cookies
Good news friends! Y'know how it's been wintery all spring? Don't get me wrong. I totally don't like to be too hot. But when I'm bundling up and wearing my coat in April...that kinda sucks. And since springtime rolled around, I've been waiting for some decent weather to come this lovely way. And finally it is! Today, I went out without a coat! And later in the week, there's a forecast for EIGHTY degrees here in NY! Exciting, huh? Well when I think of warmer weather, I think of summer. And when I think if summer, I think of s'mores. And because I absolutely love cookies, naturally I'm bound to make a cookie out of a s'more. And then of course, I love surprises (who doesn't?!) so I made … [Read more...]
Flourless Chocolate Almond Tuiles
**This recipe originally appeared in my monthly baking column in Ami's food magazine, Whisk.** So it's my third day in a row of passover baking, and I am already bored. Everything is so similar in texture when you don't use flour - or even matzah meal! I'm ready for something a little bit different, and I am sure y'all are too. I don't have time for a full post, but I did want to share this recipe. It was originally published last year in my column for Ami Magazine, but in case you missed it, totally make these. They aren't soft and chewy, rather thin, crispy, and wafer like. It's a nice change of pace - plus it would make a perfect crunchy accompaniment to some chocolate ice cream or … [Read more...]
Purim Recipes and Ideas Roundup
One of the super fun things about being a blogger is reading your search engine traffic hits. Occasionally, however, it reminds me of things. And over the last week I have noticed an increase in traffic from people searching for purim overtimecook or purim 2013 or overtime cook hamantaschen, which serves as a good reminder that I need to start posting some purim recipes and ideas. You will see some fun ideas here over the next few weeks, but first, some ideas that have been featured on OvertimeCook in the past: First off, we have traditional hamantaschen, plus a guide I wrote on CookKosher on shaping beautiful hamantaschen (that stay closed!)
