I love a good Christmas sugar cookie, and these Christmas pinwheel cookies are both beautiful and delicious. I have to admit, rolling out dough is not one of my favorite things to do. I don’t think it’s something I’m good at, therefore I don’t do it often and probably the cycle continues because I don’t…
What is a cream cheese cookie? These are slightly cakey, soft sugar cookie with a slight creamy tang from the cream cheese. I love a good traditional sugar cookie, like my Christmas Sugar Cookies – these are equally good. I wouldn’t call these spiced cream cheese cookies a substitute for regular sugar cookie. Definitely just…
December is cranberry season because fresh cranberries are harvested in the fall from September-November. What else is in season in the fall to winter? Citrus. So the pairing of orange and cranberry is peak perfect flavor. These cranberry orange sugar cookies are no different. Sugar cookies may evoke slightly different images in someone’s mind when…
There are so many different kinds of Christmas and holiday cookies but these caramel chocolate snowball cookies might become a new favorite for you. Different cultures, different regions, and different tastes dictate what we eat growing up. Then most of us as we age and start our own traditions choose our favorites and add new…
Most people have a nostalgic cookie when they think of Christmas cookies. Maybe it’s sugar cookies that were decorated for Santa, maybe it’s something like Buckeye balls. For me, it’s mint chocolate chip cookies. My mom loves mint chocolate and would always make two batches, one of regular chocolate chip and one of mint chocolate…
These maple pecan cookies are a chewy brown sugar cookie packed full of crunchy pecans creating a wonderful texture along with awesome flavor. Maple pecan cookies came to my brain (as a flavor combo), in the ice cream aisle. I usually just get vanilla ice cream, but I love maple flavored things and I am…
This no-knead cranberry walnut bread has a crisp exterior, with a soft crumb studded with chopped walnuts and cranberries. I love a good no-knead loaf. They are shockingly easy, they just require time in order to get the best flavor. You CAN make them in a few hours, but I promise you that waiting overnight…
White chocolate brownies are here. No, not a typo, that shouldn’t say blondies. Brownies. If you love white chocolate, these are the treat for YOU. So what is a white chocolate brownie? Exactly what you might expect. When making brownies we use cocoa powder or melted chocolate. When you bake blondies, you leave those out…
Making homemade pumpkin puree is honestly, not that difficult. Personally, I find the hardest part to be slicing open the pumpkin. If you’ve ever cut open a spaghetti squash, you know. The first time I made homemade pumpkin puree I was shocked that the color was so vibrant compared to canned. It’s a beautiful bright…
Most people are familiar with brioche when it comes to french toast or a yeasted donut. It’s an excellent bread for those. But have you ever had a slice of it or brioche dinner rolls? If you’ve never had it and aren’t familiar with it, Brioche is a french bread (but not like a crusty…

They have all the flavors of pumpkin pie but nestled into a soft fluffy dough and perfectly served at breakfast….
This maple brown butter Bundt cake is tender and toasty flavors that will make you want to have a slice of cake every hour of the day. Bundt cake isn’t something I grew up eating. Not just because I’m not a cake person either! Bundt cakes are their own thing. You don’t want to make…
If you aren’t familiar, pumpkin butter is most likely not what you are thinking. It is not pumpkin infused butter, but in this PSL world I’m sure that also exists. Pumpkin butter is a sweetened and in this case, spiced, pumpkin puree reduction that is perfect as a spread for things like toast or breakfast…
I love cookies. I don’t think they are my favorite dessert- it’s too hard to choose. But cookies are up there. There are millions of flavors and they are pretty simple to bake. Now, there’s only one thing that can make cookies easier. Baking them into a bar so you don’t have to scoop them….
Tiramisu is an Italian dessert made of ladyfingers soaked in espresso and alcohol layered with an mascarpone cream mixture. Personally, I never tried it until I was an adult and making one for a friend. Despite not being a coffee lover, I found it tasty. I was already brainstorming to come up with some variation…
