Cookies, bars, cakes and sweet bakes

Hundreds of recipes by Lila Beaumont – cookies, bars, cakes and sweet brunch bakes.

Profile:

Lila Beaumont writes about the baked things people actually want to make on a weekend or bring to a gathering: cookie bars, sour cream coffee cake, chocolate cream pie, caramel apple scones, pumpkin dump cake and peanut butter cookie bars. Most of her work sits in Desserts & Sweets, with a steady stream of pancakes, stratas and scones in Breakfast & Brunch.

Her recipes lean on the details that decide how a bake turns out: how soft the butter should be, what the dough should feel like, how long to chill it, and what the edges and center should look like when the pan comes out. Ingredient swaps and make-ahead options are included where they help, so a recipe can fit a busy week instead of demanding a special trip to the store.

She also covers yeasted and savory-leaning bakes such as fluffy buns, naan, pretzel bites, Brazilian cheese bread and pizza dough, for readers ready to move beyond cookies. Browse her latest recipes below to find your next bake.
