Honey rhubarb cobbler with orange and spice is the first dessert of spring in my house: tart rhubarb bubbling up through a honey-sweetened, cinnamon-and-clove filling under golden biscuits. The orange zest keeps it from tasting like everyone else's rhubarb...

Pear and apricot crisp brings sweet pears and chewy dried apricots together under a crunchy oat, walnut, and whole wheat crumble. It's the quieter cousin of apple crisp, and in my kitchen it never lasts any longer. There's nothing quite like a warm, bubbly fruit...

Warm and crunchy apple crisp is the homey dessert every cook should own: two pounds of apples under a whole-grain, brown-sugar, butter crumble that bakes up genuinely crunchy. It takes 15 minutes to assemble and forgives nearly every shortcut. There's nothing quite...

Red wine poached pears are the dessert equivalent of a magic trick: firm Bosc, Comice, or Anjou pears simmer in red wine, honey, and warm spice until ruby-stained, with raisins plumping alongside. Thirty minutes of hands-off simmering — then a night in the fridge, if...

Double chocolate chip cookies double down where it counts: a full 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips in a single batch, in a buttery, soft-centered cookie with sugar-crisped edges. The gram-weighted recipe makes 54 cookies, and every one of them counts. If you're...

The ultimate cowboy cookies are nostalgia in cookie form — oatmeal cookies loaded with brown sugar, vanilla, and chopped walnuts, the kind that came out of home kitchens before bakery counters took over. They bake in 15 minutes and feed a crowd, which was always the...

Buttery almond slice-and-bake cookies are the smartest kind of baking: mix a sandy almond dough one day, chill it into a log, then slice and bake exactly as many cookies as you need. Warm from the oven, they don't stand a chance. Prepare to meet your new favorite...

Spicy ginger cookies are the jar cookie of my childhood: crackled sugar-topped rounds heavy with ginger, backed by cinnamon and cloves, chewy in the middle and just crisp at the edges. Bake a double batch — the dough freezes and the cookies vanish. For me, the perfect...

Chewy coconut macaroons with unsweetened coconut and honey are the little confection I keep in my back pocket. Whipped egg whites fold into honeyed coconut and bake up chewy in the middle and toasty at the edges. Tired of overly sweet, one-note coconut macaroons? The...

The ultimate chewy chocolate oatmeal bars are the cookie that isn't: a buttery oat-and-walnut base and lid with a thick melted-chocolate layer sealed between. They slice cleanly, travel well, and vanish at any gathering they attend. The Ultimate Chewy Chocolate...

The ultimate chewy chocolate brownies live up to the title: real unsweetened chocolate melted with butter, a sugar-rich batter for that shiny crackled top, and chocolate chips in every bite. Underbake them by a minute and thank yourself later. Welcome, fellow...
