That\u2019s where this small-batch version comes in handy; though small in size, it has big flavor thanks to a crispy, cheesy coating of mozzarella and Parmesan.\u00a0<\/p>\n Get the recipe:\u202f<\/strong>Small-Batch Cheesy Focaccia<\/a><\/p>\n Shop the recipe:\u00a0<\/strong>9\u201d x 5\u201d loaf pan<\/a><\/p>\n <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n Photography by Patrick Marinello; food styling by Kaitlin Wayne<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a> Sometimes the craving strikes, and you need a chocolate chip cookie now.\u00a0<\/em>Turn to this small-batch recipe, which yields four perfectly sized chocolate chip cookies that are crisp around the edges and soft in the centers \u2014 and are ready in just 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Get the recipe:\u202f<\/strong>Just 4 Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a>\u202f<\/p>\n Shop the recipe:\u202f<\/strong>Callebaut Semisweet Chocolate Chips<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n Photography by Rick Holbrook; food styling by Kaitlin Wayne<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a> With a yield of just two soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls, this recipe is ideal for small households.
