Toffee Bars

My parents must have known I was born with a sweet tooth.  They just had to.  I guess they kept me away from the good stuff to prevent my pant size from getting too big because I’m just now discovering what toffee is.

Levain Bakery’s Copycat Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

Hands down, this is the BEST chocolate chip walnut cookie EVER! I try my best to steer away from posting any generic or classic recipes.  I’m sure we’ve all seen it before and we don’t need to be reminded on how great your grandma’s apple pie really is or in this case, how great this generic looking cookie can possibly be. But
