Jam Sandwich Cookies

Jam Sandwich CookiesI'm not sure if these would be considered to be something you eat for breakfast or a snack. I'm going to go with both.

These Jam Sandwich Cookies come from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. You make them with Martha's "Everyday Baking Mix" (I link to that recipe after the jump), and you can use this mix for other cookies and desserts as well. This recipe makes 18 Jam Sandwich Cookies, and they look rather large.

Martha Stewart's Cookies, Cookbook of the Day

cover of Matha Stewart's CookiesMartha Stewart has gone and done it again. She has created one of the most impressively terrific cookie cookbooks I've seen in a very long time. It's hard to believe that there was even room in the world for another comprehensive book of cookie recipes, but thanks to Martha, I am now convinced that there is another book in the world that I need to own.

It's one of those books that reaches out and grabs you from the very first page. That effect is mostly due to the fact that the first several pages are filled with row upon row of cookie images, row upon row of them on a white background. They are reduced in size from their real-life counterparts, however what they've lost in size they did not lose in detail, so what you get are pages of appealing, drool-inducing thumbnail images of cookies. And if you just buy the book, they all can be yours. That Martha is such a smart marketer.

While I haven't had an opportunity to try any of these recipes, my experience with the Martha Stewart Everyday Magazine leads me to believe that these recipes have been well-tested and will prove themselves to be reliable.

Martha's Cookie Week: Italian Polenta Cookies

Italian Polenta Cookies"Cookie Week" on Martha Stewart's TV show concludes this week with these Italian Polenta Cookies. She still owes us one cookie recipe though, since she didn't have one on Monday! (If you missed the other cookies this week, they're after the jump too.)

Not sure if these have to be in the "S" shaped shown here and suggested in the recipe after the jump. I wonder if you put them in the shape of another letter, or perhaps the number "4" they just don't taste the same?

Martha's Cookie Week: Brown-Butter Toffee Blondies

Brown-Butter Toffee Blondies"Cookie Week" continues on Martha Stewart's TV show with these Brown-Butter Toffee Blondies. I wonder if these are more brownie than cookie, only cut into cookie-sized pieces?

Funny, the recipe says to cut the blondies into 3 inch squares, but the picture shows them as diamonds and hearts.

Martha's Cookie Week: Chocolate Mint Sandwiches

Chocolate Mint Sandwiches"Cookie Week" on Martha Stewart's TV show continues today with these Chocolate Mint Sandwiches.

I haven't made these, but the first reaction I had when I saw the pic is that they look a little like chocolate covered Oreos. Of course, I'm sure they're different. For one thing, the filling inside is made with peppermint extract, and the top glaze is melted semi-sweet chocolate. Full recipe after the jump.

Martha's Cookie Week: Lime Meltaways

Lime MeltawaysThis week, Martha Stewart is doing a "Cookie Week" on her show. We recently did an entire Cookie Month, but I guess that's harder to do on a syndicated TV show without taking up too much time.

I'll post the recipes for each day's cookies (I thought she was originally supposed to start the week of recipes yesterday but it actually started today). First up, these Lime Meltaways.

Lion and Lamb cupcakes

Lion and lamb cupcakes. You know how they say "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb?" Well, leave it to Martha Stewart to turn a proverb into a cupcake. Take a look at these "lions and lambs," ideal for a March baby shower or kids party.

The lambs have chubby mini-marshmallow cheeks and bubblegum noses, while the lions sport resplendent toasted coconut manes. Both are vanilla cupcakes with Swiss Meringue buttercream frosting (I've made Martha's buttercream many times before - it's a solid recipe).

Look forward to "April shower" and "May flower" cupcakes in the months to come. Having just driven through a mid-March snowstorm, I'm looking forward to the "lamb" part myself.

Martha and Emeril give party tips to Letterman

We told you about Martha Stewart buying Emeril's empire (except the restaurants), and now Martha and Emeril have gone on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman to give their Top 10 Party Tips.

Emeril Lagasse, brought to you by Martha Stewart

EmerilMartha Stewart apparently thinks that Emeril Lagasse is a good thing.

Stewart has bought the rights to Emeril's books, TV shows, and kitchen products. The price was $45 million in cash and $5 million in stock. That's stock as in Wall Street, not chicken or beef.

This is an interesting development, since we reported a while back that Emeril Live had ended after negotiations went nowhere. (And if you're wondering, no, Martha didn't get Emeril's restaurants.)

Stewart also bought 40% of a wedding service called WeddingWire.

Great Food Fast, Cookbook of the Day

cover of Great Food FstI've been subscribing to Martha Stewart's Reader's Digest-sized Everyday Food since she first started publishing it in 2003. I have every single issue I've ever received (although most of them are currently being used to hold up the end of a wall-mounted cabinet that is falling apart). So the new cookbook, Great Food Fast, which pulls 250 recipes from the pages of those magazines wouldn't necessarily be something I'd need to own. However, even though I've seen most of the recipes before and made more than a few of them, I find this cookbook really appealing. That's because they've done a really lovely job of making it easy to navigate and visually interesting. The pictures, which never get particularly big in the magazine, have been blown up, without any loss of quality, to fill the pages of this book and illustrate their accompanying recipes.

Organized by season (as recipes from a mostly monthly magazine should be) this book makes it fairly easy to find quick dishes for dinner that you know will be fairly tasty and foolproof. Say what you will about Martha Stewart, her recipes are typically reliable. If you haven't been subscribing to the magazine all along like I have, then this is one you should take a peek at next time you're in the bookstore, as it's pretty nice.

Super Bowl Week: Mint Chocolate Brownies

mint browniesOK, we're going over the sweet stuff to have on Super Bowl Sunday, the desserts and other treats for after the main meal. Of course, some of us won't be able to eat dessert after eating pizza, chili, nachos, and beer, but if you can (or want to go straight to the desserts without letting all of the other stuff get in the way), check these out.

They're Mint Chocolate Brownies and they come from Martha Stewart. They look so decadent that I think that one brownie will be enough to get you into a comfy chair for the rest of the night, unable to move.

Super Bowl Week: Did Martha Stewart "borrow" my chicken wings recipe?!

chicken wingsWhen I peeked into my Inbox yesterday, I saw an email that was promoting a recipe for Spicy Citrus Caramel Chicken Wings that Martha Stewart will be making on her show this Friday. As I read through it, my protective senses were alerted. Martha's recipe is very similar to the Sticky Chicken Wings I shared with everyone yesterday! Though Martha bakes her wings in the oven and I, of course, deep-fried mine, the sauce recipe had similar ingredients and the same technique! Could Martha Stewart have designed her recipe based on my Sticky Wings?! Because, you know, I am sure that Martha Stewart surfs Slashfood and browses recipes (or rather, that she tells her assistants to surf Slashfood).

If you want to make Martha's wings, the recipe is after the jump, but don't tell me about it because it'll hurt my feelings that you picked hers over mine.

Super Bowl Week: Beer Drinkers' Pizza

beer pizzaIf it's Super Bowl Sunday, then there's a great chance that you'll be eating pizza. I think that the delivery rate at places like Domino's is doubled on the day of the game.* But you don't have to order out, make your own. And as a bonus, the pizza is made with...beer! So you're getting two football-ish, manly favorites in one.

This recipe comes from Martha Stewart. Not sure if she'll be drinking beer and eating pizza this Sunday or making hors D'oeuvres and having tea, but it sounds pretty tasty.

* I completely made this figure up.

Super Bowl Week: Cheese Balls Three Ways

cheese ballsFirst off, that's not some chapter from a "how-to spice up things in the bedroom" book. It's a recipe from Martha Stewart.

Cheese balls are old hat. You can go to any supermarket and buy a variety of them now. But these put a nice twist on the usual cheese ball recipe that might intrigue your Super Bowl guests (go Pats!). It uses a base recipe for all three of the different cheese balls, and then you add some flavor combos, including cheddar and cranberry, Roquefort and walnut, and goat cheese and scallions.

December is National Egg Nog Month (no surprise)

egg nogWe've already found out that it's National Fruitcake Month, but did you know that it's also National Egg Nog Month? Yeah, it was probably inevitable, but when I see a lot of months that have non-seasonal foods in them, it's comforting and reassuring to see that both National Fruitcake Month and National Egg Nog Month come during Christmastime.

The Coffee and Tea section over at About.com has a lot of Egg Nog recipes, including Chocolate Egg Nog and Baltimore Egg Nog (made with peach brandy). Martha Stewart has her recipe for eggnog (of course), and here's Alton Brown's recipe. You can also try the Hot Egg Nog recipe we talked about recently.

Now, the only question is: is it spelled as one word or two?
