Baking the Book - One Sweet Cookie, By Tracey Zabar

Mmmm...just baked Francois Payard's "Flourless Chocolate Cookies" from Tracey Zabar's new book--One Sweet Cookie.

Of course, I couldn't just follow the recipe as written so I rolled the batter in powdered sugar to make them a little more sweet. Yum--both with and without the extra sugar, they ate DELISH!

Making Hand Pies--By Hand!

When I decided to put an apple butter-filled version of these fried hand pies on the menu, I thought I may have lost my mind because they can be so time consuming to assemble. But my cooks and I have made it an assembly line effort, which makes building tons of them easy as pie.
