Classic Pastry Scones are the heart and soul of my weekend morning ritual, offering a sense of peace to our kitchen before the rest of the world begins its noisy hum.

This Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie was born from a rainy Saturday morning when the pantry was bare but our hearts were full of a craving for something cozy.

We wanted something that felt like a warm hug, similar to our favorite two huge chocolate chip cookies recipe, but with the rustic soul only a cast iron skillet can provide. Browning the butter felt like a … Read more
