There\u2019s a chill in the air; it\u2019s time to cocoon yourself in a blanket, sip on hot apple cider, and turn on the oven. The most popular recipes of the month followed these orders, centering around baked goods. Take, for example, these Chocolate Chip Cookies With Olive Oil and Sea Salt<\/a>, our newest drop from the Bon App\u00e9tit Bake Club<\/a>. The cookies are accidentally vegan, but\u2014I never thought I\u2019d say this\u2014the dairy isn\u2019t missed thanks to fruity, rich olive oil. Or make this Pumpkin Flan de Queso<\/a>, a warming spin on a Puerto Rican delicacy.<\/p>\n Pumpkin also showed up in recipes that skewed savory, like this Weeknight Pumpkin Chili<\/a>. Cumin, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire, create a depth of flavor that tastes like the chili\u2019s been simmering for hours. But if you\u2019ve got a couple of hours to spare, consider making this Mushroom Bourguignon<\/a>. Made with a medley of creamy and frilly shrooms, tender pearl onions, and red wine, it\u2019s a luxe showstopper.<\/p>\n Keep reading to explore the most popular recipes of October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photograph by Elliott Jerome Brown Jr., Prop Styling by Gerri Williams, Food Styling by Mieko Takahashi<\/p>\n\n
