Costco has grown tremendously since its beginnings as a single store opened in Seattle in 1983, in large part due to the efforts and expertise of CEO Jim Sinegal, who was tapped to help found the enterprise because of his experience with a similar venture, the Price Club chain of high-volume warehouse stores.
Not a cake to bake if youâre short of time. This recipe makes enough for two Chocolate Babka cakes. If you can manage not to eat the second loaf, it can be stored frozen for up to three weeks wrapped in plastic cling film and then foil.
Sliced/icebox cookies: Freeze dough logs; slice just before baking. If too firm, thaw at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes. Hand-shaped cookies: Freeze dough balls in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Thaw at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then shape.
