First of all, dinner! This is a leftovers pizza, using the Serious Eats no knead dough. Dough gets mixed up the night before- and that’s that! We split it in half (freeze the other half for another night).
We had leftover anti-pasti meats from Saturday (and leftover pesto)- so we made a pesto pizza with salami, prosciutto, mushrooms, fresh mozz, and jalapenos. MMMMMM. We do our pizza making at 550 degrees on a Baking Steel- http://bakingsteel.com/ . You must purchase one (this is not a paid endorsement by any means!)- pizza cooks in 7 minutes or so, you can literally make the crust as thin-thin-thin as you want and YOU CAN EAT IT WITH YOUR HANDS. I am not lying to you right now. I have even committed various pizza sins and totally coated it in “everything”- and it still cooks up crispy. Miracles.
Look! It is almost heart shaped!
There are two cookie recipes that have made their way into my “every year” repertoire- and I feel the need to direct your attention to them. I do not modify the recipes (though at some point I might take some photos of making them for funsies)- but if you only have time for one or two more cookies- these are them!

These are admittedly a little more finicky- however- AMAZING. And really simple. Crunchy, buttery- just like those chocolate dipped lace cookies from the bakery but with a ton less fuss than most lace cookies
