Burger Buns, Icebox Cakes & Other Essential Summer Bakes

Put these recipes on repeat. [Save up to 50% — Ends Tomorrow]( [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 548 [Supersized, Super-Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies]( Jessica Battilana Staff Editor I've pulled my grill out. I've loaded a tote with towels and sunscreen and set it by the front door, at the ready. I've stocked the freezer with popsicles. Bring it on, summer! I've been waiting for you. As with every seasonal shift, I bake different things in summer than in other seasons. In my house, hardly a week goes by without a batch of [Beautiful Burger Buns](, the It Bread of Summer (you can use the dough to make hot dog buns, too, and the buns are also ideal for breakfast sandwiches). To make perfectly round buns, I use our [Hamburger Bun and Mini Pie Pan](; as the name suggests, you can also use it to make adorable single-serve pies (maybe with the first [sour cherries]( of the season?). It's also the perfect pan in which to bake our [Supersized, Super-Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies](. By baking them in the pan (you'll need to increase the baking time slightly — aim for 23 to 26 minutes), you limit the cookies' spread, resulting in a thick, chewy chocolate chip cookie disk, just right for topping with a scoop of ice cream (maybe that's the It Dessert of Summer)? Another dessert that's on repeat in my summer kitchen is our [Iced Coffee Icebox Cake](: espresso infused cream and deeply chocolatey cookies (that are a convincing homemade replica of a now discontinued storebought chocolate wafer) are layered together and chilled until the layers meld into a sliceable cake. In other words, an easy dessert that improves upon sitting. Get everything you need to make it [here](. And for those summer occasions that call for a fuss (yes, they do exist)? Go for a pull-out-all-the-stops party cake, like this [large format layered sheet cake]( that has raspberry preserves, whipped cream, and honey buttercream, it's a cake so stunning (and big!) that it will cause jaws to drop. Henry James once famously wrote, "Summer afternoon — summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." And while I don't disagree with Mr. James, it's when you tack the words "sheet cake" onto that phrase that my blood really gets racing.
