For March 12

Oatmeal Raisin Almond Cookies, from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook
BLD Fudge Brownies, from the Los Angeles Times and BLD Restaurant

BLD is a wonderful restaurant on 3d Street here in Los Angeles.  It is the more casual sister to Grace.  Today's Los Angeles Times published the recipe for BLD's fudge brownie sundae; this is the fudge brownie part of the recipe.  It has to refrigerate overnight, so I haven't tried it yet, but the recipe is, uh, rather rich and intense.  Not a recipe for the chocolate lightweight!

The Magnolia Bakery is a famous bakery in NY.  This is an interesting twist on the usual oatmeal cookie recipe - it adds almond extract and toasted almonds to the dough.  Somehow it gives it a lighter flavor profile than the usual oatmeal raisin cookie.
