Jen Clark, of Crate Cooking School, is talking cookie tables on Talk Pittsburgh! So, she's giving us a couple of her own cookie recipes! (Photo Credit: KDKA) Thumbprint Cookies Makes approximately 100 cookies 2 ⅔ cups unsalted butter, room temperature 1 ⅓ cup sugar 8 eggs, separated (egg yolks in one bowl, whites in another) 4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste zest of 2 oranges 2 teaspoons kosher salt 6 cups flour 3 cups finely chopped pecans (or walnuts) Stonewall Kitchen Jam of your choice Preheat oven to 350° and line baking pans with parchment paper. Beat butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolks, vanilla, orange zest and salt. Beat until well combined. Add flour on low speed until blended. Beat egg whites in a small bowl until frothy. Place finely chopped pecans in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Use a small cookie scoop (2 teaspoons), roll dough into balls, dip into egg whites and roll into nuts. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Make an indentation on the top of each cookie with your thumb or the stick of a wooden spoon. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and make indentation again. Place ½ teaspoon jam into each indentation. Bake an additional 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to cooling rack to cool completely. Chocolate Caramel Cracker Bars Makes about 3 dozen bars For the cracker layers: 48-64 butter crackers (rectangular), divided For the caramel: 1 cup graham cracker crumbs ⅔ cup sugar ½ cup packed brown sugar 1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons) ¼ cup milk pinch of salt For the frosting: ½ cup creamy peanut butter ⅓ cup chopped semisweet chocolate ⅓ cup butterscotch chips For the topping: ⅓ cup dry-roasted peanuts, chopped Coat a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick spray. For the cracker layers: Arrange half the crackers to cover the bottom of the pan. Spaces between the crackers are ok, just don't leave any gaping holes. Nonstick spray will keep any caramel that seeps through from sticking to the pan. Set pan aside. For caramel: Boil graham cracker crumbs, sugar, brown sugar, butter, milk and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar melts, about 3 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent scorching, Pour caramel over crackers and spread with an offset spatula to cover evenly. Don't worry if caramel seeps between crackers, the bars will be fine. Top caramel with remaining crackers, arranging them in the same manner as the first layer. For the frosting: Melt peanut butter, chocolate, butterscotch chips in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until smooth. Drizzle over crackers and spread with an offset spatula. For the topping: Sprinkle peanuts over chocolate and chill bars until set about 2 hours. Cut bars lengthwise into 2 ¼ inch wide strips using a bench scraper or chef's knife. Remove strips from pan, then cut at a 45° angle to form diamond shapes.

One Bite and I Was Hooked. These Air Fryer Recipes Slap
My air fryer has officially earned a permanent spot on my kitchen counter. When the weather's hot and I'd rather be outside than sweating over a stove, it's a total game changer. I can throw together snacks, sides or full meals without heating up the whole house, and cleanup's a breeze. Not everything turns out great in an air fryer, but the foods that do? They're next-level. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and way less oily than traditional frying. If you haven't played around with your air fryer much, now's the perfect time to see what it can really do. Though fries and wings are the go-to air fryer staples, these powerhouse appliances can handle much more diverse ingredients. From whole-roasted chicken and flaky salmon to seasonal vegetables like asparagus and spring carrots, air fryers will get you excellent results with minimal effort. But there are certain foods that feel like they were practically made to cook in an air fryer. You'll find a ton of Reddit threads with home cooks asking for the ultimate air fryer recipes, and we've put together this guide to help you out with our favorites. If you're searching for an air fryer or to upgrade your existing oven, we have a new favorite model with a glass cooking chamber that's easy to clean and doubles as a food storage container. Looking for something great to make? Check out the eight foods you absolutely have to cook in an air fryer below. 1. Salmon filets Just 8 minutes in the air fryer and you have perfectly medium rare salmon. David Watsky/CNET Broiled salmon is a simple, healthy weeknight dinner staple. It's not difficult to make in the oven, but if you're only cooking for one or two people, the preheating time is a pain and you'll waste a lot of energy for a small amount of food. Pan-seared salmon is great and quick, but there's almost no way to cook salmon on the stove without creating an oily and odorous mess. I tried cooking roasted salmon in the air fryer, and it came out perfectly in about 10 minutes, including preheating time. The closed cooking chamber captures all of the grease and even hides some of the fishy smell from taking over the space. OK, so you might catch me throwing the occasional filet of salmon on the grill during warmer months, but gone are the days of me wiping fish grease from the backsplash behind my kitchen stove. Here's how to make perfect air fryer salmon. 2. Whole chicken Air-fryer roasted chicken is a revelation. David Watsky/CNET This one surprised me the most since I make a roast chicken most Sundays and had become content with my method of using the oven. I learned fast that the air fryer does an even better job since it's able to crisp the skin quickly without overcooking the meat. Air-fryer roasted chicken takes about 45 minutes -- about 15% quicker than the oven -- and it's nearly impossible to screw up. Here's how to make a quick roasted chicken in the air fryer. 3. Bacon cheeseburgers You can cook a burger to perfect medium or medium rare with an air fryer. Pamela Vachon/CNET Air fryer cheeseburgers have become a staple around my home. The exception is during summer when the grill is in full swing, but during cooler months, I turn to the air fryer for this American classic. It's not only cleaner than pan frying, but the burger doesn't cook in its own grease, so you get a lighter, healthier meal (if you're into that sort of thing). You can also stick the bun and a couple of slices of bacon in with the burger and you have the full meal with almost no cleanup to manage. Here's how to make a cheeseburger from top to bottom in the air fryer. 4. Chicken cutlets Air fryers turn out picture-perfect chicken cutlets. David Watsky/CNET Before the air fryer, I used to pan-fry breaded chicken cutlets for chicken Parmesan and other recipes, but the air fryer does the same job with less mess and produces less oily fried chicken, too. Watch this: Best Air Fryers: Cheap vs. Expensive 19:24 I recommend using boneless chicken thighs, which have enough fat content to withstand all that convection heat without drying out. Simply coat the chicken in beaten egg wash followed by bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper and other spices. Cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. You can spray the cutlets lightly with a bit of oil before cooking to get an extra crispy crust, but it's not necessary. I've tried the same method with chicken breasts; it works well, but there is more risk of drying out the meat. 5. Cauliflower steak Cauliflower steak made in the air fryer has become a staple side dish in my kitchen. David Watsky/CNET One of my favorite things to cook in the air fryer is cauliflower. A slab of cauliflower makes an excellent hearty side dish or main course if you're going plant-based. Simply toss a thick slice or two of cauliflower with olive oil and salt and pepper, or some seasoning of your choice, and air fry for 10 or 12 minutes on high. The air fryer gives it a beautiful caramelized crust, and it cooks the dense veggie fast enough so that the inside of the cauliflower doesn't become mushy. 6. Leftover pizza This leftover pizza got a whole new life thanks to a short trip to the air fryer. David Watsky/CNET While not every type of food is best reheated in the air fryer, a lot of them are. Air fryers are the perfect way to revive leftover pizza, fried chicken, grilled meats and vegetables. A microwave heats food unevenly and tends to impart a rubbery texture. Air fryers give food a second life via convection heat for a crispy crust and even heating. Here's the best way to reheat every type of leftover. 7. Hot dogs You can cook an entire package of hot dogs in just a few minutes. David Watsky/CNET It's hard to screw up a hot dog, but if you want a perfectly charred wiener in under five minutes with essentially no cleanup, look to the air fryer. Air fryer hot dogs are as simple as simple gets, and the super convection oven gives them a perfect browning in two or three minutes. Here's how to make hot dogs in the air fryer all summer. 8. Baked potatoes Air fryer baked potatoes had crispy skin and were light and fluffy inside. Brian Bennett/CNET OK, so technically this one starts out in the microwave and then gets finished in the air fryer. The microwave softens the inside in under 8 minutes while the air fryer blasts the edges and skin to a crispy perfection. It's a restaurant-quality baked potato in less than 12 minutes. Here's how to make the best air fryer baked potato ever. Oh, and if you're still not sure what an air fryer is and how it works, check out our complete guide to air fryers.

Martha Stewart's VERY interesting take on the RecipeTin Eats scandal after founder Nagi Maehashi accused baker Brooke Bellamy of plagiarism
Martha Stewart has weighed in on the RecipeTin Eats plagiarism scandal after Brooke Bellamy was accused of copying the recipes of fellow Australian cook Nagi Maehashi. The celebrity chef, 83, said during her live event at Sydney 's ICC on Wednesday night that it is hard to prove a recipe is copied. 'I have so many recipes and it's hard to develop a recipe without having a repertoire behind it,' she told the audience. 'I don't think too many recipes are owned by anybody, they are handed down, used and changed.' However, Martha claimed that it can be considered plagiarism if a recipe is 'copied word for word'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'If you print somebody else's recipe word for word in your own cookbook then it might be plagiarism but I think it's very hard to prove who actually came up with that recipe,' she continued. 'So unless they are word for word, you can't say they're yours.' It comes after a second author accused social media cooking sensation Brooke of stealing recipes for her bestselling cookbook Bake With Brooki. Hours after RecipeTin Eats' Nagi raised allegations of copyright infringement last month, Sally McKenney, the US author and blogger behind Sally's Baking Addiction, also levelled claims. Bellamy, who owns the popular Brooki Bakehouse in Brisbane, denied the accusations, saying she had been making and selling her recipes well before Maehashi's were published. The allegations relate to Maehashi's caramel slice and baklava recipe, along with McKenney's Best Vanilla Cake recipe. McKenney posted on social media, saying she was first alerted to the similarity months ago. She said her recipe was first published in 2019. 'One of my recipes was also plagiarised in this book and also appears on the author's YouTube channel,' she said. 'Original recipe creators who put in the work to develop and test recipes deserve credit - especially in a best selling cookbook.' Bake With Brooki is a bestselling cookbook published by Penguin in October last year and retails for $49.99. Bellamy quickly became a global sensation after sharing videos on TikTok, which receive millions of views each day. She is best known for her cookies and has opened pop-up stores in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Both Penguin and Bellamy deny the allegations. 'I did not plagiarise any recipes in my book which consists of 100 recipes I have created over many years,' she said. 'In 2016, I opened my first bakery. I have been creating my recipes and selling them commercially since October 2016.' Bellamy posted an image showing her caramel slice, which dated back to December, 2016. 'On March 2020, RecipeTin Eats published a recipe for caramel slice. It uses the same ingredients as my recipe, which I have been making and selling since four years prior,' she said. While the Brisbane baker insisted she did not copy the recipes, she 'immediately offered' to remove both from future reprints to prevent further aggravation'. In Maehashi's Instagram post, she described Bellamy of 'profiting' from the alleged plagiarised recipes. Maehashi claims she first raised concerns with Penguin in December. 'I put a huge amount of effort into my recipes. And I share them on my website for anyone to use for free,' she said. 'To see them plagiarised (in my view) and used in a book for profit, without credit, doesn't just feel unfair. It feels like a blatant exploitation of my work.' Maehashi is the founder of popular website, RecipeTin Eats, which has 1.5 million followers on Instagram. She is also the author of award-winning cookbooks Dinner and Tonight.
