Favorite Recipes from Tara Teaspoon

If you ask me what my favorite food is, I’ll usually say, “chocolate chip cookies, straight out of the oven.” So you'd better believe I have an amazing (and may I mention, award-winning) classic chocolate chip cookie recipe in my repertoire.

Like your favorite takeout without leaving the house. I usually have all the ingredients on hand. It's one of my staple dinners and tastes so authentic. Serve with steamed white rice.

The best cinnamon rolls you’ll ever eat! The Asian milk bread method called tangzhong is easy to master and yields the softest, fluffiest dough ever. Your friends and family will devour them.

Is there anything more perfect than a warm, fudgy brownie? Maybe a warm, fudgy brownie with The Best Frosting for Brownies slathered on top 🙂  This ultimate brownie recipe has the classic crinkle top, a dense, very chocolatey center, and is super simple to make.

When you dip we dip! Great, flavorful finger food for an easy weeknight dinner. Ginger Thai Chicken Patties is my favorite meal to make what I need to use up the boneless skinless chicken breasts that I always have on hand.

This is one of my favorite show-stopping desserts. The coconut graham cracker crust is to die for, and that mango flavor is blow-your-mind good! I'd better tell you this pie has won contests! Bring it on!

Cornbread is a staple in my home and this recipe yields a soft, cake-like cornbread that is irresistible. The perfect accompaniment to almost any weeknight meal or leisurely weekend supper.

I just had to include something with Brown Butter Frosting in my favorites list. And, these cookies are one of my childhood favorites. They are soft and chewy, and completely delicious. You'll never have another cookie like them.
