Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chewy chocolate chip cookies

    • Zormasa on February 24, 2025

      I like these much better than the recipe on the chocolate chip bag. The ingredients listed here say dark chocolate chips but the recipe in the book says semi-sweet.

  • Soft and chewy molasses spice cookies

    • john927230 on April 19, 2026

      Once you add the melted and cooled butter to the sugars, start adding the rest of the ingredients right away before the butter hardens. These smell absolutely fabulous even before they’re baked!

  • Coffee toffee cookies

    • Skamper on August 08, 2025

      These are good but not spectacular. I used 4 t Nielsen-Massey pure coffee extract rather than the instant espresso and water. I got 11 cookies using my 2T scoop. Baked for 13 minutes.

  • Apple crisp

    • DizzieLizzie on April 06, 2026

      It was a great way to use up the apples my son decided he didn't want to eat.

  • Vanilla cupcakes

    • caroline_xuxq6t on March 11, 2026

      Very tender and not too sweet cupcake. Easy to make and easier to eat!

  • Chocolate cake

  • Financiers

    • hbakke on May 03, 2026

      I made both the original and raspberry financiers. We preferred the raspberry. Nice, easy little treat.

  • Bean and cheese pupusas

    • anjelica_52p2oe on March 07, 2026

      LOVED this recipe! Will try some other filling options later on but loved making these. Could have used a tad more salt but otherwise came out great!!! Definitely make the slaw that goes with it!

  • Corn muffins

    • Skamper on April 04, 2026

      We enjoyed these with a bowl of chili. I used medium ground corn meal because that's what I had on hand, and buttermilk instead of milk because I had some that needed using. Next time I'd use a tablespoon or two more liquid; the batter was very thick.

ATK revolutionizes small-batch baking with innovative techniques, flexible equipment options, and 200+ big-flavor recipes.

ATK cuts sweet and savory treats down to size while cutting out the small-batch baking quirks in this exciting cookbook for two: no calculators to scale recipes, no measuring out half an egg, no buying a container of an ingredient to use just a tablespoon, no stale leftovers, no kitchen full of required equipment. ATK's small-batch baking way:

Eliminates waste with recipe yields that work for you: Serve Blueberry-Lavender Cornmeal Crumbles in two ramekins, warm from the oven, or make storage-friendly loaf pan Coconut Snack Cake when you want to share or keep some for the week.

Is adaptable for the air fryer or toaster oven: Turn to the toaster oven instead of turning on the oven for two scones. Make desserts you never knew you could in the air fryer, even Basque Cheesecake!

Turns your freezer into a treat factory: Recipes that yield more than a handful are formulated to bake from frozen—and taste just as good as fresh. Solve the perennial breakfast problem with a half dozen Cranberry-Cardamom Muffins you can bake off individually. (You freeze the batter in paper liners.) Simplify longer recipes like Croissants by preparing them ahead, freezing, and then baking later.

Delivers baking joy with everyday indulgences: Keep dough balls of Coffee-Toffee Cookies in your freezer. Use store-bought puff pastry to make impressive Everything Bagel Danishes or Fruit Tart in a snap.

Offers pan options: Cheese Bread with Feta and Nigella Seeds is a delightful mini loaf, but it will satisfy the same if baked in a muffin tin or ramekins. If you have a cute pan collection, there are baby Bundts and petite cakes to please, but there's always an option to use a conventional pan.

Make four Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits for a dinner bread basket, or freeze the dough portions and bake off one or two whenever you like—in just 25 minutes. Better yet, you can do it in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. Celebrate an intimate birthday with a 6-inch Vanilla and Passionfruit Layer Cake for two. Satisfy an impromptu chocolate craving with speedy, perfectly portioned Molten Chocolate Microwave Mug Cakes.
