If you, like us, are working on this fine fall Columbus Day, then you need a treat. Luckily, today is not just about the founding of our country, but it’s about brownies, pies, cakes, and cookies. That’s right—it’s National Dessert Day. In honor of this seriously important and under-reported holiday (thanks, lamestream media), we’re bringing back our favorite Jewcy dessert recipe, just for you and your sweet tooth. You’re welcome.
