These dark chocolate butterscotch cookies are thick and chewy with a crisp exterior. But chewy and delicious inside. Honestly it’s the best cookie texture.

However, I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they prefer cakey brownies so I’m not sure why people bring it up? Who knows….
My Sweet Italian Maritozzi are a very popular treat. What’s not to love? It’s a sweetened dough with whipped cream filling it. I’m a vanilla girl, but I know I’m in the minority.

Brownies with nuts are a controversial topic, but I think these turtle brownies are special. If you aren’t familiar, Turtles are a milk chocolate, caramel and pecan candy. They are delicious!

I made these Valentines rice krispies treats because I love a good rice krispies square. Am I the only adult who genuinely loves them? I don’t like the store bought ones. I did when I was a kid and I don’t know if they changed the ingredients or my palette just got more refined but…

What is a cream cheese cookie? These are slightly cakey, soft sugar cookie with a slight creamy tang from the cream cheese.
