Ha, okay, so I couldn't figure out how to respond to this question without narrowing it down, so here goes (and feel free to ask other specific ones, such as Top Five Pastas):

Top Five Favorite Baking Recipes (in no particular order)

1. The following Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips Cookie Recipe

1 3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/4 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 natural peanut butter
1/2 c. butter
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla
chocolate chips, eyeball it to your liking

1. in a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
2. in a large bowl, combine sugar, peanut butter, butter, milk, and vanilla until well-blended.
3. add flour and chocolate chips to wet mixture, stir until just combined.
4. form into balls on cookie sheet, flatten somewhat.

bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes or until just set and beginning to brown. remove from oven and let cool on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before removing to let cool on a wire rack.

recipe claims it makes 24 cookies; i make 1/4 recipe at a time and get 8 per batch, so that would be 24 huge cookies or 32 more reasonably-sized ones. 10 minutes in the oven is perfect for my 1/4 batch of 8.

2. This recipe for soft oatmeal cookies

3. These Chocolate Cookies

4. This cake, except I make the filling using instant coffee stirred into a paste with about three drops of water or so instead of vanilla sugar

5. Vanilla Roasted Pears--MY GOD.
