Hey guys!!! Long time, no post! I'm so so so very sorry it's been so long. I've met (or heard about) so many of you local readers who have actually come to visit the bakery! Even a few out-of-towners who were readers of HTEAC have come by to check us out! Thanks so much for all the incredible suppor... Comment - Like

Not much of a story behind making these. They were way easier to make than I thought they'd be, and they were just as yummy as I expected!

There's not much of a story behind this post. But just for fun, let's see how much I can say about it. I woke up one morning this week and decided I had to have cinnamon-swirl bread.

Moooooove over Oreo, there's a new cookie in town.

These cookies are the brain child of none other than Dorie Greenspan. If you're a T... Comment - Like
