It’s nearly a week late, but since I’m in the middle of the next recipe already, I need to clear this one out of the queue. White Chocolate–Cherry–Almond cookies are one of Joanne Chang’s newer recipes, from her Baking with … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, I did Joanne Chang’s macarons — or, as she called them in pre-macaron-craze days, “Almond Macaroons with Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache”. This week, I’m back with her macaroons — proper macaroons, or “Coconut Macaroons” as she calls … Continue reading
