Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Thin

Chocolate Chip Cookies have always been my favorite cookie. Ever. My daughter and I both prefer the thinner variety. To be honest, this version of the Chocolate Chip Cookie needs to be consumed while still warm. In my personal and humble opinion, I don't think this cookie stores well.

That being said, what I like about this version is that the edges are crisp while the middle is just a bit chewy and there is almost a caramel flavor to the cookie. While the recipe does call for 2 cups of chips, I think backing it down to 1 1/2 cups is a bit better ratio of chip to dough.

Buttermilk Pound Cake w/ Citrus Glaze

I love spring. Berries are fresh and abundant. And nothing goes better with berries than pound or angel food cake and a little whipped cream. I decided to try out Alton Brown's buttermilk because, a) I had buttermilk and b) it took a lot less butter for this recipe and I didn't have a lot in the house. Since AB used a citrus glaze, I decided I'd forego the berry topping and add his glaze instead. I was not disappointed.

This pound cake is moist and flavorful all on its own. The citrus glaze adds a nice sweet and sour taste that nicely compliments the flavor of the cake.
