I don't cook/bake, but if I did I'd attempt this.

D. Leite's famous choc chip cookie (NYT recipe)

I have lamented tart crusts for years, as it seemed that no matter what I did–chill the crusts, weight the crusts, arranged small prayer circles outside the oven–they shrunk on me. No matter how many fingers I crossed, no matter how many Guaranteed No-Fail tricks I auditioned, no matter how many pounds of butter I had sacrificed in my quest, the crust I’d remove from the oven would hold as little as half of the volume of the one I put in, leading to thin tarts and pools of extra filling and oh so very many gray hairs. tart shell Which is why today it is taking all of my restraint not to run up that last flight of stairs and shout from my rooftop: I have conquered my tart shells at last, and they shrink no more! … Although I suspect in my neck of this island, that would barely cause an eyebrow to arch. But it is true, so deliciously true. And before I go any further–you know, into the most awesome stuff I filled this tart crust with–I need to mark this momentous occasion its own post

1 2/3 cups (224 grams) all-purpose flour 3 1/2 tablespoons (50 grams) sugar 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon (20 grams) baking powder 2 hard-boiled egg yolks 1/8 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons (84 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 2 teaspoons lemon or orange zest (optional) 2/3 cup (168 grams) plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream Shortcake assembly 1/2 pound strawberries, washed, hulled and quartered 2 tablespoons (25 grams) sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup whipping cream, beaten to soft peaks

I LOVE snickerdoodle cookies!

There are only four things going on here: a single pie crust, some streusel, hunks of quartered peaches and crème fraîche but when they’re baked together, the crust becomes a shell that decks your plate with pastry flecks and flakes and the filling bakes itself into something more like a tangy custard and less like a traditionally sweet slumpy pie. This is a peach pie for grownups, almost excessively so: I always wish desserts were a little less sweet and still felt this pie would benefit from additional sugar (I present that option below).

made these -- pretty good, but next time USE DARK CHOCOLATE, so it's more fudgy and less cake-like

Good basic dressing for any salad with veggies, beans, cheese etc
