Happy November! I can’t believe October is already over! I’m kind of sad to see fall go by so quickly but I’m also very excited for the upcoming holidays, decorations and inevitable cozy family time near a fireplace. Also, I fully welcome the extra hour of sleep we got today with open arms and sleepy…

brown butter chocolate chip sea salt cookies
Cookies are my favorite baked good to make. I have a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe that I know better than the back of my hand and can make in less than 45 minutes, including baking time. Still, I love to experiment with additions and substitutions to make different variations on the classic chocolate chip…
cadbury mini egg brownies
And it’s another mashup! Decadent fudgy brownies plus cadbury mini eggs makes for an amazing Easter treat. Let’s be clear – the original milk chocolate mini eggs are the best variety. The candy company has expanded their product line in the past few years to include dark chocolate eggs with darker colors (not springy), and…
almond butter shortbread with chocolate and sea salt
Cookies will always and forever be my favorite treat to bake. Even when the flavors are new, the process is so familiar. They allow me to extend my creativity but still feel secure in the creation process. I have made shortbread more times than I can count, and pecan sandies (icebox cookies), which follow a…
salted caramel brownies
I have made and shared a lot of treats with friends and coworkers over the years, and besides my go-to oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, these salted caramel brownies have been the most requested recipe of all of them. When I first started brainstorming recipes I knew I wanted a chocolaty treat for Valentine’s Day. Homemade…
loaded peanut butter cookies
Otherwise known as peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip peanut cookies, or, as my siblings refer to them, peanut butter crack cookies. There is a café nearby that flaunts the most wonderful bakery counter. Behind the glass are jars of cookies, freshly baked quick breads, biscuits, scones, and muffins of the day. While I love snacking…
loaded peanut butter cookie bars
One of my favorite things to do around Halloween is to figure out a way to incorporate leftover candy in a baked good. I worry that I’ll run out of ideas for such a specific task, but so far, I love every variation. Last year I made M&M Reese’s sea salt chocolate chip cookies, the…
flourless peanut butter cookie ice cream sandwiches
Happy happy Monday! We had some absolutely gorgeous weather this weekend and I haven’t yet brought myself to terms with the fact that the hot, humid weather will be back any minute. One thing that makes the August heat a bit more bearable is cold, refreshing ice cream. And what could be better than ice…
coconut cake with earl grey buttercream
If places could be a love language, cute local coffee shops would be one of mine. I think it is safe to say the same about my tea-loving parents. Last year, their New Years resolution was to go to their local coffee shop every Saturday they were in town, and they did! They know most…
chocolate cake with whiskey caramel buttercream and dark chocolate ganache frosting
Whew, what a name. What started as a simple request for chocolate birthday cake turned into chocolate cake with whiskey caramel buttercream frosting and dark chocolate ganache frosting, one of the best cakes I have ever made. I have said it before, but I’m not a huge cake fan. It is really the frostings that…
