A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
One of my favorite food blogs is Averie Cooks. Not only is Averie one of the sweetest bloggers I know, but her recipes make me swoon, stare longingly at my screen and quite possibly drool a fair amount. And she is amazing at creating bar recipes, so when I wanted to do a week of magic cookie and seven layer bars, I knew I just had to include some of Averie’s recipes. Here are some of the delicious decadent bars {Read More}
I have a theory that you can really never go wrong with cookies and cream. Exhibit A. Cookies & Cream Magic Cookie Bars. Yum! I made these earlier in the year and they are divine. I had planned a new recipe for today, but instead I have a toddler with the stomach flu, so baking had to get pushed to the back burner (really bad pun intended). But this recipe is incredible, so it really works out okay. So head {Read More}
While thinking of different ingredients that could be used in seven layer magic cookie bars, I came across a combo so fabulous that I simply had to share. Hayley, also known as The Domestic Rebel, created Gingerbread 7 Layer Bars. Um, yes please! Holy bar loving amazingness! Hayley’s version uses the same Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Gingerbread Flavor Packet that I used for my Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls (which happens to be the flavor that I fell in love with when {Read More}
Day two of Magic Cookie Bar Week and after going a little peppermint crazy with yesterday’s Peppermint Bites From Other Blogs, I simply had to bring some peppermint goodness to a magic cookie bar. These are loaded with just about every candy cane flavored treat I had in my house, including Candy Cane Oreos, White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s, Jet-Puffed Peppermint Mallow Bits and Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Bits. As my philosophy always goes, if you can’t find these items, just {Read More}
Out of every sweet or treat I’ve ever made for the holidays, one item remains my most favorite ever… The Magic Cookie Bar. Or Seven Layer Bar. Call it whatever you want, it really is magic in a pan. And not only are they insanely delicious they are SO easy to make. You don’t even need a bowl (though for this version I used one bowl, but minimal clean up – I promise). Hello, how great is that??? And I {Read More}
When the folks at Smucker’s asked if I would like to share with you how my family enjoys topping our holiday and celebration desserts (and host an awesome giveaway for you with delicious Smucker’s toppings and a $100 American Express gift card!), I was more than happy to take part. It just so happens that Smucker’s products are often used to make what is quite possibly my family’s favorite celebratory dessert… Cookie A La Modes. In this house, especially for {Read More}
Well, to be honest, my favorite chocolate cookies any time of the year. In my recipe box, this is the best fudgey, rich, delicious chocolate cookie recipe I have. It’s a very dense cookie that I think is made all the better by using Dark Chocolate Cocoa (though you can always use regular). I originally made these last year as giant chocolate chocolate chip cookies inspired by Levain Bakery’s cookies, and have since used this recipe and mixed it up {Read More}
Another Sunday morning, another fun pancake recipe. For this recipe, I really wanted to replicate an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in the form of a pancake. When I heard “mom this is like eating a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast” I knew I must have done something right. My kiddos can be a bit funny with their tolerance for the texture of oatmeal, so I often run it through a food processor prior to using it in recipes. I don’t {Read More}
I whipped up these cookies to bring with us on our recent vacation over in San Diego. As I often try and do, I replaced the all purpose flour with white whole wheat flour, replaced some of the butter with Greek yogurt and added in some oatmeal from an extra whole grain kick. They were fantastic. I kept them in the fridge in San Diego, mainly because leaving anything out seemed to result in the kitchen becoming a bit too {Read More}
Yesterday I shared my new favorite cupcake, the Pumpkin Pie Cupcake. Today I’m going to share my daughter’s favorite – the Snickerdoodle Cookie Cupcake. This is kind of crazy, but I went the majority of my life having never tried a snickerdoodle. I’m not sure how that happens, I think I must have always been distracted by other cookies. On a trip to Disneyland a few years back, I was looking for the Disneyland bakery snickerdoodles, as I wanted to {Read More}
I’ve decided I’m not going to wait on fall to show itself, instead I’m going to do my best to manufacture it myself. I can’t seem to do much about the miserable temperature here in Phoenix, but I can fill my home with the wonderful scent of pumpkin and cinnamon. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, bring it on. Today it’s pumpkin cookies. Lowfat Pumpkin Oatmeal Spice Cookies to be exact. These are hearty, chewy cookies that pack in some {Read More}
So I’m only about 14 years late to the whole “desserts in jars” party, but better late than never, right? Can I offer you a jar of cookies and cream deliciousness? These were easy to create and require no baking – yay! I picked up these cute little jars at Walmart, but you could use ramekins, bowls, Dixie cups, whatever you have. The main ingredients in these are Oreos and Oreo Pudding. Once you have those in your possession, {Read More}
