The Ritz-Carlton has quietly shared four of its most famous cookie recipes with guests over the years. I baked all of them at home, and these are the ones that earned a permanent spot in my weekend rotation.
Soft, banana-sweet crumb with juicy blueberry bursts in every bite. These muffins take about 35 minutes, use pantry staples, and fill the whole house with a smell that justifies the early start.
The jar of sourdough discard on my fridge has never felt less like waste. These cookies turn it into something that tastes like a campfire — soft and chewy in the middle, crisp at the edges, with chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, and marshmallows that caramelize in the oven.
These almond flour scones are tender, golden, and bursting with blueberries. Gluten-free, easy to make, and done in 30 minutes — plus four variations, including a savory cheddar one that keeps me coming back.
I've been hunting for a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie that actually holds up. This one has brown butter, homemade toffee bits, and a chewy center. 22 cookies, done in under an hour.
Morning glory muffins hit my radar through a friend's grandmother, and I finally made the vegan, gluten-free version: one bowl, 35 minutes, twelve muffins loaded with apple, carrot, coconut, and walnuts. Moist, tender, and perfect with coffee.
