I joined TWD in October 2008, and I started this blog to join. My first recipe with the group was the Lenox almond biscotti, and I got to try some things I'd never heard before like the blanc-manger and the dacquoise. Baking has given us some new favorites, and since this is the final TWD, I thought I'd share the recipes that were highlights for our family:
Pumpkin Muffins love the muffins made with butter, light and rich
Sweet Cream Biscuits so much easier than cutting in butter, and they rise reliably
Tiramisu Cake pretty cake, loved the mascarpone frosting
Tourtely Apple Tart those apples and browned butter!
Rick Katz's Brownies for Julia favorite tall brownie, dense and rich
Tribute to Katherine Hepburn Brownie favorite thin brownie, reminded me of ones my parents made when I was a kid
Espresso Shortbread not too sweet, and so quick and convenient to make ahead and freeze
I've so enjoyed the chance to bake along!

Your thumbprints look delicious! I can't believe we baked the whole book!
mmmm some of my favorites are on your list. :) Your cookies look delicious and it has been fun baking with you the last few years!
Fun to see your cookies, which look excellent and cute for sure, and to read about your favorites! Isn't it strange to add up all the weeks and figure out what were all doing in our lives all those times? Wow. October 2008 was a long time ago! :-)
Thanks for being such a faithful member. I do hope you will be joining us for the new book. Happy New Years!
they are so cute!
Love the trip down memory lane! TWD has been so much fun! Delicious looking thumbprints!
Great list of favorites. TWD has been a great blogging/baking experience. thanks!
Have a Happy New Year.
Love the espresso shortbread and love the thumbprints! So happy to have baked with you.
I started in October 2008 too. Great list of favourites. Wishing you all the best in your future baking ventures.
Im so glad we got to bake together these past 3 years! It's been fun visiting your blog! Thank you for your comments on mine!
The cookies look delicious!
Wonderful cookies ! Hope to bake more with you ! Happy New Year !
I did the same exact thing with the choco chips... I thought they were the perfect little punctuation to these cookies. Congrats on making it through.
THose two chips look so wonderful! Funny, mine never melted either - so I switched to jam. What a wonderful ending recipe - along with others on your list - which I love as well!
The thumbprints look great. Congrats on making it to the end of the book!
Gorgeous thumbprints - and I think your favorites and mine mostly overlap! It's been fun baking with you and hope to see you in February when Baking with Julia starts up.
I started with TWD quite a bit after 2008 and I still have 21 recipes to bake! It's great to see a favorite's list--but so hard to choose! Happy baking in 2012.
Thanks for sharing your favorites!
Hasn't TWD been wonderful? It's so great to read your favorites and remember how fun this has been!
