Pecan

Earthy and sweet with molasses, rich with cream, and bittersweet with dark chocolate, this sophisticated pie is a breeze to make.

Don't let the humble name fool you. These little cookies are bursting with flavor. They're reminiscent of those fig cookies you had as a kid-raised to the third power. The cream pastry is tender and flaky, and the honey-kissed filling, just sweet enough, is deepened by plump Medjool dates. They're also bite-size and adorable.

The low oven temp and long bake time allow these nuts to take on rich flavor without burning.

You don't need a bowl or even beaters for this treat. Just mix all the ingredients in your food processor, then bake—so clever! I can never turn down an excellent cream cheese frosting either, and this is one of the best.

Bourbon Balls function as the ultimate easy dessert for Southern cocktail parties, and they put a sweet, slightly boozy finish on any get-together. Think of them as an edible digestif. Crushed vanilla wafers hold all the chocolatey goodness together. Buy an 11-ounce box and remove two dozen wafers to save for another use, like Banana Pudding.

This loaf is the perfect fall breakfast with warm coffee—lightly spiced, perfectly sweet and dense, but only in the best way that oats, nuts and shredded apple can be. Grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater down to just the core.

Just dump, shake, and bake this super tasty, couldn't-be-easier dessert. It's even better when made with our Homemade Yellow Cake Mix .

It takes some practice to produce a beautifully crimped pie crust, but galettes? Not so much: The more rustic they look, the better.

Toss peaches with almonds and fragrant garam masala, then top with a brown sugar crumble for an excellent entry into summer peach season.

A texture riot of a salad; it gets crunch and creaminess from toasted pecans and almond butter(!).

This decadent cake is infused with rich coffee flavor in three forms: brewed coffee, espresso powder, and coffee liqueur.

The ribbon of brown butter plays a raw cookie dough role in the center of these pecan blondies.

Rolling out the dough between sheets of parchment paper means it won't stick to your pin or tear.

These days, it goes without saying that if you're a vegetarian, you can simply leave out the sausage.

Infinitely better if made with an all-butter puff pastry; we like Dufour.

This crunchy winter salad is exactly what you'll want to pack for lunch this week.

Brown butter brings out nuttiness of the pecans, while the bite of rum and the slight bitterness of espresso balance out the sweetness of this pie.
