Mama Kelce's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Donna Kelce had been bringing these to her sons' football games for years before anyone outside Ohio knew her name. Then came Super Bowl 57, a jersey split down the middle — half Eagles, half Chiefs — and a plastic container she handed to Travis and Jason on live television. The photo spread everywhere. People immediately wanted to know what was in those cookies. She shared the recipe on the Today Show. Turns out: two kinds of chocolate, cake flour, cinnamon, and butter that goes in melted rather than creamed. Small differences that add up.

Sweet Dishes

Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niao Mamuang)

Khao niao mamuang pairs warm glutinous rice with sweet coconut milk, ripe mango and a lightly salted coconut sauce.

Toasted split mung beans add the small crunch that keeps each spoonful from tasting flat.

Sweet Dishes

Medovik (Russian Honey Cake)

Medovik is Russia's iconic honey cake: eight or more thin caramel-honey layers stacked with tangy sour-cream frosting and left overnight until soft and tender. The secret to its warm caramel aroma is stirring baking soda straight into hot honey, which foams up and lightly caramelizes the batter. Finished with a dusting of the cake's own crumbs.

Sweet Dishes

No-Bake Pistachio Cheesecake Cups

No-bake pistachio cheesecake cups are individual cheesecakes with a crushed biscuit base, a filling of cream cheese, whipped cream and sweet pistachio cream, and crushed pistachios on top. Nothing is baked and there is no water bath: the filling sets in the fridge in about 3 hours. The pistachio cream is a sweet spread, which is why the cups taste like a pistachio dessert rather than a nut butter.
