How do you make something more desirable? Make it smaller. Make it tiny. Make it bite size! Why is this? I don’t know, I don’t make the brain rules, I just know them. So mini chocolate chip cookies had to happen. They are so cute! Now, is it wise to make a cookie you can…
You found it, the babka of your dreams: cookie butter babka. A sweetened enriched dough, stuffed with cookie butter and topped with a cinnamon glaze and biscoff cookie bits. It is so good, and feels like a fantastic slice of dessert. I was inspired to make my own cookie butter babka when I saw a…
These chocolate malt shortbread cookies are rich and buttery like a good shortbread should be, but with added malted milk powder and chopped chocolate to evoke your favorite soda shop classic in cookie form. What are chocolate malt shortbread cookies? Well to answer that you have to know what is a chocolate malt. Or really…
This lemon white chocolate cheesecake is so dreamy. Many people hear white chocolate and think cloyingly sweet. I love white chocolate even though it can be very sweet. The key is knowing how to balance it’s flavor. The white chocolate is not overwhelming in this cheesecake. It makes it almost a creamier and more mellow…
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. Would I turn down a cookie that’s just crunchy or just chewy? Never. But crisp edges and chewy center is the right answer. If you know you know. Believe it or…
The great brownie debate will probably roar on until brownies have been wiped from the face of the planet. No brownies, sounds terrible. There are generally two camps, cakey and fudgy. 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. Of course I had to make a chocolate maritozzi! Chocolate bread is somewhat difficult to achieve. Cocoa powder is unsweetened, and it’s…
In my quest to create the perfect chocolate chip peanut butter cookie, I found the best one was actually peanut butter Oreo cookies that have some chocolate chips as well. People love dunking Oreos in peanut butter (or so The Parent Trap – the Lindsay Lohan one told me) so why not simply add them…
Meet your new favorite cookie, the brown butter snickerdoodle bars. Snickerdoodles are one of those cookies I should love more than I do. Not that I dislike them, I’ve just not spent as much time enjoying them. I love cinnamon sugar, I love a chewy cookie. They have the best parts of bakes I love,…
If you’ve never watched Ted Lasso, you will hate these Ted Lasso shortbread bars. Just kidding, they are regular shortbread, but you should watch Ted lasso. If you’ve never watched, the main character Ted bakes shortbread and brings them to his boss every morning. She wants to not indulge in them but they are just…
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 set out to make a brownie version, because both brownies with caramel and brownies with nuts are both popular. Let’s put all those…
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…
Sugar cookies are often the top pick for a holiday cookie. You can always find those Pillsbury slice and bake ones with holiday designs. People love to bake cut out sugar cookies at Christmas. It’s understandable why, they are easily customizable, and easy to bake. I decided to make these Valentines sugar cookies after my…
You know what makes these raspberries and cream cupcakes easy? They start with a box mix. Yes, even people who bake things from scratch use box mixes sometimes. I used to have people order my doctored up box mix cupcakes from me, knowing they were not completely scratch. Save yourself some time and headache, I…
