This black velvet snack cake is a single layer small cake that is both easy to bake up, and richly decadent. It’s also perfect for when you are thinking maybe red velvet sounds good, but honestly want something better. It’s topped with a whipped mascarpone frosting and by the end you’ll be wishing the cake…
These chocolate sweet rolls are a chocolate version of a cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon filling we have a creamy, gooey, delicious chocolate filling. Everyone loves chocolate, and everyone loves cinnamon rolls – at least everyone I know. So why not combine those things and create a chocolate cinnamon roll, or chocolate sweet rolls….
These copycat cranberry bliss bars are a blondie base, with a orange cream cheese frosting and white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Just like from your favorite coffee shop but maybe a little bit better and way more dessert for the amount spent. Believe it or not, I had never actually had one of Starbucks’…
This small batch monkey bread is made in a loaf tin and a much more manageable size to serve to a family or smaller group than traditional monkey bread recipes. Perfect for when you’re at home and want a sweet dessert but don’t need to feed 10 people. What is monkey bread? Monkey bread is…
These chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookies are made of chocolate roll out sugar cookies sandwiched with a peanut butter frosting. Chocolate and peanut butter, one of the world’s best combos. When creating these cookies, I knew I wanted the cookie to be firm and more like an Oreo than a soft cookie or a whoopie…
Glazed donut cookies are soft sugar cookies with a familiar iconic donut glaze. Made to invoke that feeling of a fresh glazed yeasted donut, without the mess of frying or having to run out to a donut shop. I’m going to say something controversial considering where I live (New England). I don’t like Dunkin’ Donuts….
These cinnamon sugar shortbread cookies are light and sweet, and feel like they both melt in your mouth and have the perfect crisp. I love shortbread, it’s so buttery and delicious. I remember when I discovered Lorna Doone cookies and was like WHAT are these?? I don’t buy those anymore because I can make my…
Traditional lace cookies often have either oatmeal or almonds (or both) but I opted to use a different nut. These pistachio lace cookies have the same look and texture as the original but a different flavor that I personally find superior. I looked at a ton of recipes when researching Florentine, or lace cookies. I…
Are you a mint chocolate person? I one hundred percent AM. I love it, and not just around the holidays. Peppermint cheesecake brownies definitely are holiday appropriate but can be enjoyed year round. Mint cookie ice cream is one of my favorite flavors. I love thin mints, and mint Oreos, and my mom always made…
Mini pumpkin pies are a miniature version, perfect for serving, of my spiced pumpkin pie. I’m not a huge pumpkin person but I love a richly spiced pumpkin pie, and this is that in a cute little personal size pie. These would be beautiful for serving or putting a pie on everyone’s plate with no…
What is chocolate fluffernutter pie? What is fluffernutter pie? What is a fluffernutter?? These are all excellent questions. Let’s start with the fluffernutter. A fluffernutter is a New England classic of a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. Personally, I’ve never had one but I was never one for adding anything to my peanut butter…
I set out to make what many people might deem the perfect fall cookie in these pumpkin sugar cookies. I wanted something buttery and warm and spiced plus, obviously pumpkin. Pumpkin has never been my favorite fall flavor, I don’t mind it but I’m not running to get a pumpkin latte on September 1st either….
These cookies and cream cupcakes are two things, easy and delicious. They use a box mix that’s zhushed up, and a from scratch frosting. This is the type of cupcake to make when your kid forgets and you have to bake them that day or the night before. You will get way more credit than…
Corn is probably not the first thing you imagine being in a cookie. It might not even be at the end of the list. But I promise you these cornbread cookies are not to be skipped. I have always thought of cornbread to be almost sort of a dessert, especially if you add cinnamon butter….
Caramel apples to me seem sort of like a summer thing, but I think most people think of them as a fall flavor. Apple definitely is, and caramel I think is both fall and all season. However, this caramel apple cake feels very cozy and fall like. To get a strong apple flavor, I used…
