I’m not really a thumbprint cookie kind of gal. I don’t know why. I’m weirdly picky about things. I like jam sometimes, I love cookies, I should enjoy them. But they are just things I don’t want combined. For example, coconut, I only enjoy combined with pineapple. Otherwise, hard pass. And some things I only…
I love the smell of lemons. When I zest or squeeze fresh lemon juice I swear I could get high off how my hands smell. It makes me think of when I was a kid/teenager and we lived in Arizona and had a lemon tree in the backyard. My mom would make lemonade and squeeze…
Updated 7/13/2024 Raspberry buttermilk muffins sound like the perfect breakfast, at least to me. The sweet and tang of the buttermilk matches the sweet and tartness of the raspberries. These muffins are quick, easy and delicious. Muffins are one of those things that are pretty simple to make from scratch, and in my opinion MUCH…
I’m a peanut butter lover but rarely do I eat it outside of breakfast hour. I don’t really like peanut butter flavored ice cream or desserts. With the exception of Nutter Butters, those are delightful. Have you tried the chocolate covered ones? Well done Nabisco. As I write this I now know, I need to…
I wasn’t sure what to call these nut butter blondies because they are a combination of brown butter, cashew butter, and then topped with cashews and chocolate chips. Brown butter blondies? Cashew butter blondies? Neither would really explain the taste accurately. And let me tell you, they are sooo good. Like most bar type desserts,…
So this is going to be a super simple summer (or really anytime) recipe. Really just 3 ingredients, or 4/5 if you are feeling a little extra. I’m sure many of you are familiar with a White Russian. Maybe you love them, maybe you love The Big Lebowski, maybe both. This is somewhat similar but…
Brown sugar cookies are going to be something that tastes very familiar even though you may have never had them. Really they are just chocolate chip cookies with no chocolate chips. I have worked on them a bit to make the flavors stand out a bit more on their own. I promise you won’t miss…
The name of these double chocolate peanut butter pretzel cookies is a mouthful, I’m quite aware. However there’s not really a better way to name them. I had considered just sweet n’ salty cookies but that doesn’t convey all the goodness inside. Whether you love chocolate, chocolate and peanut butter, regular and white chocolate, chocolate…
Shortbread cookies are some of my favorite. I love the buttery richness of them and how they almost melt in your mouth. Thai tea is one of my most favorite drinks. I have seen other tea based shortbread, and thought Thai tea shortbread cookies had the potential to be fantastic. In my opinion, they are!…
Ice box cake isn’t really a cake, and it actually doesn’t go in the freezer like you might be lead to believe by the name. It actually just chills in the fridge for a little bit while the ingredients do all the work. It’s an incredibly simple NO BAKE dessert with a lot of wow…
