For most bakers, it's second-nature to measure out the prescribed dose of vanilla for a cookie dough or cake batter using a measuring spoon, but it turns out that the iconic McCormick bottle can actually save you a dish. The red cap on the 4-ounce bottle of McCormick vanilla holds 3/4 of a teaspoon of liquid - perfect for recipes that call for a multiple of 3/4 (the caps on the 2-ounce bottles hold about 1/2 teaspoon).
On December 4, Milk Bar is teaming up with McCormick to give away free Eggnog English Toffee Cookies at two Manhattan locations, in honor of National Cookie Day. The first 100 customers at Milk Bar's flagship (Broadway and 29th Street) and its West Village shop (74 Christopher Street) will each score one of the limited-edition treats. Doors open at 10am in Nomad and 11am in the West Village.
Fresh, juicy cubes of watermelon topped with a drizzle of lime and a sprinkle of salt is one of the more pleasurable joys of summer. Thankfully, we don't need to wait until the days get warmer to savor this delicious flavor combination. McCormick, the brand behind many of the herbs and spice blends we reach for, has packaged watermelon-flavored salt that also offers the zesty pucker of lime into an easy-to-use container.
