This cake was inspired by a recipe from the newly published Twinkies Cookbook from Ten Speed Press. The idea, which I wish was my own, was to bury Twinkies vertically in a bundt cake. The book doesn’t go into detail about what ingredients you should use other than an 18.25 box of chocolate cake mix [...]

Our cereal collection is a little out of control. Rather than buy new ingredients, I decided I’d try to make a dent in the cereal stash by using some of it in cookies. The first cereal was All Bran. I figured Kelloggs.com would have some creative uses for All Bran, and I was right. The choices [...]

This recipe was sent to me by Kristin who lives in Nashville, TN. You’ll also find it in The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion, one of my favorite cookie books. The KA book is packed front-to-back with cookie fabulosity, and that is the only reason I can think of for why I’ve waited …
