How to Make Soft and Puffy Snickerdoodles

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here New-Fashioned Snickerdoodles If you think snickerdoodles are simply cinnamon sugar cookies, think again. Properly made, they have crispier edges and chewier middles, with a rich and tender crumb beneath their shimmery crusts. Once upon a time, those qualities came from cutting butter with hydrogenated shortening, but virgin coconut oil does a better job. Its subtle aroma heightens both the cinnamon and the vanilla, while helping the snickerdoodles stay rich, moist, and chewy.

The Best Extra-Dark Supermarket Chocolate Bars for Baking

Chocoholics Unite No Images? Click here   The Best Extra-Dark Supermarket Chocolate Bars for Baking​ Made from 80% cocoa solids or more, these extra-dark chocolates range from bitter and bold to fruity and bright.   Endangered Species 88%​ When it comes to supermarket chocolate, Endangered Species is Stella's top pick in almost every category, and its Extra Strong 88% bar is no exception. Made with beans sourced from West Africa, this chocolate has a sweet and mellow vibe that's a little nutty with a big vanilla aroma that stands out up front.    Theo 85%​ Theo sources most of its cocoa from the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo but manufactures its chocolate in Seattle. The bar has a texture that's more tender than snappy, one that's quick to melt on the tongue. It has a woodsy sort of earthiness, with a finish that's unexpectedly citrusy and bright.  Divine 85%​ Divine is manufactured in Germany with cocoa beans from Ghana. While on the drier end of the chocolates we tried, it's still creamy and smooth, with a subtle sweetness on the finish. It has a classic chocolate flavor that's somewhat mellow, neither excessively bitter nor bracing. Lily's 85%​ Without any sugar at all, this stevia-sweetened chocolate is bracing and dry, with an intense chocolate flavor backed by a curiously floral vanilla note. We found Lily's 85% to be a welcome departure from the typically low-end chocolates resigned to a sugar-free fate, and it would be great in any of Stella's low-sugar baking projects.   See the rest of our favorites right here.
