This mini cheesecake for two is the perfect date night or girls night treat. Small and adaptable and no leftovers to worry about! Sometimes, you just can’t eat a whole cheesecake. I mean, we maybe shouldn’t be indulging in that amount of cheese regularly but I’m not going to judge anyone’s life choices. But, sometimes…
Lemon drop cookies (lemon thumbprint cookies) are a little bite of joy. A buttery lemon cookie filled with fresh lemon curd will brighten anyone’s day! Lemon desserts are some of my favorite, so I was a little surprised I didn’t already have a recipe for lemon cookies. I do have a lemon white chocolate biscotti,…
These chewy brown butter gingerbread cookies might just be your new favorite holiday cookie. Spiced, warm and chewy, they are perfect for cold winter days. Gingerbread cookies are one of those things that are synonymous with the holidays. Even if you don’t love gingerbread, I’m sure you have probably decorated/built a gingerbread house or cookie…
These white chocolate peppermint pretzel cookies are the ultimate sweet and salty yet holiday cookie. A light brown sugar cookie packed with white chocolate chips, peppermint bits, and crushed pretzel creates the ultimate flavor combination that feels perfectly festive as well. I love chocolate covered pretzels. I love mint chocolate. If you’ve ever had them,…
Double chocolate chip cookies are exactly what you are envisioning. Chocolate chip cookies with a chocolate cookie base. This one is for the never enough chocolate people. I personally am not a chocolate overload person most of the time, but I sure do know quite a few of them. It’s why I created Double Chocolate…
This vanilla bean cheesecake is the ultimate base cheesecake that’s also perfect on it’s own. No toppings needed except brown butter whipped cream. Flavored cheesecakes are excellent. My favorite cheesecakes usually include fruit or maybe white chocolate. However, sometimes you need a great base cheesecake. Maybe because you want vanilla cheesecake, or maybe because you…
This salted caramel apple galette is a delicious alternative to the classic apple pie. Buttery pie crust folded into a rustic tart shape, with sliced apples, cinnamon and salted caramel topping. Galettes are like the pie’s laid back sibling. They have the same parents but how they hang out is different. I personally love a…
Chewy and sweet like the classic, these apple pie rice krispies treats also have warm apple pie spices and tons of apple flavor. I love a good Rice Krispies treat. They are so simple to make and delicious to eat and share. Once I started making different flavors as well it was game on. Don’t…
Blackberry peach crumble is a sublime combination of summer fruits baked with a cinnamon crumble topping. Add vanilla ice cream and enjoy in a summer breeze. What’s the difference between a crisp, a crumble and a cobbler? When it comes to fruits being baked, there’s endless options but what is the difference between them all….
Homemade salted caramel sauce rivals anything you can buy in a store or even have in a restaurant. It only requires a handful of ingredients and tastes divine. Homemade caramel can get a bad rep. It can be a little finnicky – whether it be burning the caramel, it crystallizes, etc. However, when it’s made…
S’mores brownies are an upgraded version of the classic summer treat. Graham cracker crust, chewy brownies, and toasted marshmallow top. These brownies are very woah. I like s’mores but I’m not usually reaching for s’mores flavored treats. But they are a staple of summer so I really wanted to create a brownie version because honestly…
This spiced blueberry bundt cake is like a mashup of a blueberry muffin and a cinnamon swirl bundt cake. I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert! Spiced blueberry bundt cake is actually something I made/developed in probably 2021, and then misplaced the recipe I had written down. Two moves and three states later…
The classic combo of butterscotch chocolate chip cookies with the added crunch of chopped walnuts to create a chewy, crunchy, sweet cookie that will be a new favorite. There’s almost no cookie combination that sounds bad to me. I like cookies with chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate. Nuts, no nuts, fruit, candy, sprinkles, and even…
Raspberry tiramisu is a sweet and summery version of the classic, without eggs but creamy and full of tart and bright raspberry flavor. I had never experienced tiramisu until well into adulthood. I honestly didn’t have a desire to try it because I knew it was a coffee based dessert and I am not a…
Just like grabbing an orange creamsicle from the ice cream man, these orange creamsicle cookies will feel nostalgic but also just dang delicious. Sweet orange, vanilla and white chocolate chunks. I’m old enough that when I went to kindergarten, everyone just went for the whole day. In the afternoons we had a nap at school,…
