I can’t believe I’m about to have an 11 year old. Even so, I’m doing my very best to take this birthday extra special since, well, times are still rather strange in the world. One of the things I’m doing to make her day even more magical is making cake! Okay, so… not cake-cake. She had pretty specific instructions on wanting a cookie cake again this year. Which I’m totally down for. The one I’m making for her actual birthday will be that Giant Cookie Cake from a couple years back. But, to get the party started early this long weekend, I decided to make this Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake! It’s part cookie. Part cake. And a whole lot of...
I’m… making a lot of bread lately. I’ve found that being stuck at home and baking seem to go hand-in-hand. And when I’m planning out breakfast, bread just happens to be my new go-to. I guess that could be due to the fact that I got a new bread machine a few months back now. This Blueberry Bread really hit the spot. It’s light and fluffy and full of blueberry goodness. A slice of this for breakfast with some butter, jam, and a side of fresh berries is a beautiful way to start the day. I lightened this bread up by using an unsweetened almond milk and plenty of blueberries. View fullsize I would have used a whole wheat flour,...
Well, not these exact cupcakes. Of course, I've made some changes to them to skinny them up enough for my liking these days. I think the first time that we ever made these was the summer when I was going to be graduating college. I had come home from school during some break and my grandmother was visiting (just as she is now.) My mom had come across this recipe somehow in a Better Crocker Cookbook and we decided to whip them up for whatever reason. I mean... do you really need a reason to make cupcakes? Anyway, we made the cupcakes and they were nothing short of amazing. I think that I ate my weight in them. Which at the time was...
Hi there! Seeing this post after Easter? No problem! These cookies are super fun and easy to bake up ANY time of year. Simply leave off the Easter decor on top...and switch out sprinkles to seasonal colors like red, white, and blue for July 4th...or red and green for Christmas. Once you make these colorful cookies once, you're going to want to make them again and again! Easter is tomorrow, and our celebration this year is going to be a bit different -- and much smaller -- than we're accustomed to. That calls for something cheery to eat! My Confetti Easter Sandwich Cookies are brightly colored,fun to eat, and super simple to make! They're made with convenient boxed sugar cookie mix...but you can...
A soft peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss center is the perfect combination! As much as we love a classic chocolate chip cookie or peanut butter cookies, I crave the sweet and salty combination of chocolate and peanut butter! Family Favorite Cookie Recipe My daughter’s favorite part is adding the chocolate kiss to the cookie, but I think that’s only so she can sneak extra chocolate kisses! If you have kids, this is a great recipe to make with them, as there are plenty of things they can help with from scooping the dough and rolling it into balls to pressing the kiss into the baked cookie! How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms Here’s a quick overview for this...
