Recipe 51: Lemon Clove Cookies
These look like the margarita cookies and the candied ginger cookies, but they are not! They have just a hint of clove that make them different (enough).
I’ve been avoiding log cookies, as usual, but I figured I’d have to make them eventually. Here it goes. Continue reading

Recipe 50: Double-Chocolate Brownies
This is brownie recipe number two from the app. I remember the cream cheese brownies being great, so I had high expectations.
I already had the ingredients on hand (for once), so this was an easy choice.
