Brown Sugar and Thyme Roasted Pecansfeatured
It’s funny how certain smells work their way into your subconscious where they develop into permanent little memory bombs.
For me, this time of year, I crave the scent of Nuts 4 Nuts. Nuts 4 Nuts = Christmastime in NYC.
For those unfamiliar with this New York institution, Nuts 4 Nuts are street carts that sell honey roasted nuts – peanuts, cashews, and almonds. The thing about Nuts 4 Nuts though is, sadly, they always smell better than they taste.
This year I decided to end the cycle of disappointment once and for all and make my own. I started out with a typical recipe for sugared pecans amped it up with brown sugar, cinnamon, thyme, and a touch of sea salt.

Holiday Cookies: Best of the Bestfeatured
I love the holidays. The Christmas music, the twinkle lights and tinsel, the hot cocoa and hot toddies, the party dresses, the bubbly, the arts and crafts, and of course, the cookies. Nothing says “I love you” like a batch of homemade cookies. Except maybe jewels. Yes, I believe jewels would work just as well.
With holiday cookie exchanges coming up, care packages to assemble, and grand aspirations for a stunner of a cookie plate this year, I’ve been scouring the internet for the best cookies ever. I turned to my baking gurus, my food blogger lifelines, to search out the cookies they crave, the ones their family and friends always ask them to make, and I was not disappointed.
Presenting…12 swoon-worthy cookies that I suspect you’ll be coming back to well after the holiday season.

Chocolate Crack Cookiesfeatured
I call these Chocolate Crack Cookies because they are utterly irresistible to the chocolate addict. Incredibly rich, these cookies are like a cookie version of flourless chocolate cake with a delicate surface that breaks into fudgy chocolate decadence.
This is the ultimate death-by-chocolate cookie. If you’re a dark chocolate lover, forget it, you are done for.
