Is it the fact that a hot oven filling the house with sweet fragrances and promises of a full tummy make the cold winter days cheerier? Whatever the reason, these pumpkin spice oatmeal cookie sandwiches…
Five Star Cocoa Brownies
I’ve been keeping a momentous secret from you. Brownies are one of my specialties, and my stunner of a brownie recipe still hasn’t graced the pages of this blog until today. Sure, five minute brownies are insanely delish & here at my house easy enough to be made exclusively by my husband, but these cocoa…
Espresso Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
My brother-in-law was baptized this month, which called for a mega celebratory lunch after the service. Husband went crazy at our favorite local Italian eatery, ordering seafood pasta, feta and calamata-laden gourmet salad, and 5 types of pizza to go. Did I mention this is a meal for only 4 adults plus a toddler? In…
Brown Butter Butterscotch Blondies
My granny sent me a bag of butterscotch baking morsels for Christmas. You know grannies, always looking out for our best, international shipping and all. Gotta love grannies, right? I digress. There’s something about butterscotch chips that scream “cookie bars!” to me. Those well-travelled chips dived right into a thick brown butter batter and baked…

Thankfully, the cookie genius behind these snowball cookies attached a recipe card to her plate of cookies at that memorable cookie get-together. I snatched it right up….
Five Minute Brownies
I like my chocolate dark and strong. I’ll spare you the “like my man” line. Brownies are the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate craving midweek, especially with five minute brownies. This recipe boasts a whopping 1 to 1 ratio of cocoa powder to flour, which makes a mighty rich, mighty fine, mighty luscious chocolate…
Brown Butter Butterscotch Chip Cookies
What a mouthful. Both the title and the brown butter butterscotch cookies. Say that again 5 times fast. I love brown butter baked goods. There’s just something so warm and luscious about browning butter before adding it to the recipe. It is the flutter of goodness that makes your palette whistle a tune of melodious…
Cookie Dough Brownies (& Ice Cream!)
What is better than a pan of rich chocolate brownies? Cookie dough-topped brownies, of course! These brownies are delicious, and even more so when cut into bite-sized chunks and tossed into homemade cookie dough ice cream. I highly recommend making a batch of these, cutting half into small pieces to share, and hoarding the remaining…
