Baking & Desserts recipes Page 2

Cakes, cookies, bars, cheesecakes, quick breads and frostings for birthdays, holidays and plain Tuesday cravings. The range runs from simple no-bake peanut butter pie and fudgy brownies to chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, apple crisp, strawberry shortcake and layered cheesecakes.

You'll also find breads and scones, including sourdough chocolate chip scones, banana nut bread and a baguette made at home, plus basics like buttercream, chocolate sauce and homemade powdered sugar. Several recipes lean on a single fruit, such as dried apricot bread and bars or fresh apple cake.

Browse by timing: cookies, scones and bars often come together in under an hour, while cheesecakes and ice cream cakes need chilling time, so plan them a day ahead for gatherings.
