These little lovelies contain sugar and spice and everything nice–including an oh-so-buttery oat streusel and a batter so enticing you’d never, ever guess it’s good for you.

A list of all the recipes Judy O. has tested.
Dorie Greenspan’s Rugelach
These butter and cream cheese pastries are filled with cinnamon-sugared nuts, a slick of jam, currants, and a handful of chopped chocolate.
Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls
When you want the taste of cinnamon rolls but don’t have the time (or yeast!), enter these shortcut lovelies laced with spice and lavished with cream cheese icing.
Crisp Peanut Butter Cookies
These uncannily crisp, seemingly shortbreadish cookies from San Francisco’s Miette are–and we mean this–unlike any you’ve ever encountered.
Peanut Butter-Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies
One part oatmeal cookie, one part peanut butter cookie, one part chocolate chip cookie, and all parts irresistibly awesome.
Apple and White Cheddar Scones
These sweetly savory scones take the traditional sweet and savory intermingling of apple pie and Cheddar and make it portable and pastry perfect.
Yucatan-Style Slow-Roasted Pork
This roasted pork is so tender, so rich with cumin, garlic, cilantro, and smoked paprika, it’s hard not to shout, “Come to mamacita.”
Carrot Soup with Leftover Chicken
What’s even more stunning about this soup than its vibrant hue and soulful taste is just how magnificently it serves as a vehicle for leftover roast chicken.
