While they look unassuming, these ultra-tender cookies are superbly flavorful. Appearing here courtesy of YouTube pastry chef star Claire Saffitz and her first cookbook, Dessert Person, Claire notes the cookies feature “two of the best nuggets of baking knowledge” she’s ever acquired: making the dough with sieved hard-boiled egg yolk and “toasted” flour. These two unusual ingredients yield a cookie that’s absolutely irresistible.

(30 egg

unsalted butter

(149 grams) granulated sugar

Demerara sugar

Here's one of the easiest, tastiest "sticky buns" you'll ever enjoy. Simple biscuit dough is dropped atop a sweet/salty maple-bacon-brown sugar syrup.

These breakfast bao from contributor Joy Huang are her take on the classic Taiwanese gua bao. Packed with mirin-sweetened eggs, umami-rich soy paste, and salty pork floss, they’re especially good for breakfast, but can — and should — be enjoyed any time of day (Joy’s mom used to pack them for her school lunches). The bao themselves are slightly sweet and chewy and can be filled with any number of fillings, from popcorn chicken to lobster salad.
