Desserts
Fair warning: these recipes can be heavy on the sugar, butter, and calories. They are desserts, not health food. But sometimes you want cheesecake, cookies, or something ridiculously sweet—and you just have to do it.
Most desserts are built from a familiar group of ingredients: sugar, butter, flour, eggs, cream, milk, chocolate, fruit, and flavorings like vanilla, cinnamon, and citrus. A good dessert kitchen usually relies on a few basic tools too—mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a whisk, mixer, baking sheets, cake pans, cooling racks, and a reliable oven. This cookbook brings those basics together for cookies, cakes, cheesecakes, baked fruit, and other sweets.
