Late-night chipless cookies
One of my most spiritual customs is chaotically making cookies at 11 p.m. on a weeknight since I am desperate for something sweet and too persistent to walk one single block to the 24-hour bodega for a store-bought reward. For years, these late-night baking sprees included a list of “easy” dishes sourced from far corners of the dish blogosphere. They were neverever the exactsame cookie twotimes, and were likewise neverever extremely excellent, however they were fast and didn’t need any expensive devices. At close to midnight, that was great adequate for me. But this week, when my yearning struck, I made senior test kitchenarea editor Shilpa Uskokovic’s chipless cookies and I will neverever be the verysame. These are simply as easy and fast as the one-bowl bites I’d been making, however with browned butter, toasted flour, dark brown sugar, and a great quantity of vanilla bean paste, they are really great. My nighttime baking practices are permanently altered by this dish—and significantly, delightfully enhanced. —Kendra Vaculin, test kitchenarea editor
Who doesn’t desire chocolate chips in their cookies? A lot of us, obviously.

Unfussy fresh pasta
I love to make pasta at home. It takes me almost the exactsame quantity of time to whisk together a half-pound of noodles as it does to boil a coupleof quarts of water and wait for dried fettuccine to get to al dente. That’s since I make little quantities, and cut the time utilizing home homeappliances. This Fresh Pasta Dough dish is rather easy, with just 3 components. But types of flours, oils, and other add-ins are a matter of taste. I like for my pappardelle to have a little bite, so I generally swap in a mix of 00 and semolina flour. And I choose to usage one egg, plus 2 yolks for a abundant taste. Some light kneading, rolling, and my stand-mixer accessory does the rest. —Jamila Robinson, editor in primary

Stir-fried curry rice cakes
I am gladly working my method through a 14.1-oz. tin of S&B Curry Powder. A coupleof weeks ago, numerous spoonfuls went into a huge batch of this relaxing Japanese curry from dish designer Christina Chaey. Instead of the winterseason veg called for, I did a last hurrah of summerseason fruitandvegetables and jam-packed my freezer with pints (I like these wide-mouth ones with these multiple-use covers) to pull out when the weathercondition turns cold. And this past week, I riffed on these stir-fried curry noodles from cookbook author Hetty Lui McKinnon. Instead of homemade noodles (which you definitely oughtto make), I chose for a bag of rice cakes that was suffering in the freezer.

Unfussy carrot cake
I have a bone to choice with carrot cake. I fear the procedure—slouching over a box grater, shredding a fat stack of carrots, and doing whatever in my power to prevent grating a knuckle. So when I was entrusted with making it for my pal’s birthday, I braced myself with a tiresome venture. That was till I remembered senior test kitchenarea editor Shilpa Uskokovic’s fantastic dish. Shilpa’s is influenced by Brazilian bolo de cenoura—carrots are combined best into the batter, resulting in a luxurious and tender crumb. There’s still plenty of texture, with specks of candied pineapple, takenshape ginger, and crushed pecans folded in. The unfussy cake has transformed even the biggest skeptic: me. —Nina Moskowitz, editorial assistant

No, I did not have a bag of riced cauliflower on hand, however that didn’t stop me.
