Cinnamon Knots The better part of September and October are always hectic in our family. Over the course of six weeks, we celebrate our wedding anniversary, our three children’s and two of my closest friends’ birthdays. By the end of it all, I’ve usually had more than my fair share of streamers, popping balloons and…
We’re huge fans of Sarah Kieffer’s pan-banging cookie recipes and are thrilled to share Toasted Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookies from her new book, 100 Cookies: The Baking Book For Every Kitchen.
