Yes, I know Christmas and eggnog season have passed. The Christmas decorations are long packed away, but we did have a small carton of eggnog hiding at the back of our fridge that didn't expire until the end of January. There was no way I could throw that carton away, so we've been using it as coffee creamer. Just a dash of eggnog in coffee is...

I've had my eye on this "Healthy" Deep Dish Cookie Pie from Chocolate Covered Katie for awhile now, just waiting for an opportunity to bust this recipe out. Seattle potentially facing it's worst snowstorm in more than two decades? My first true experience with snow? Sounds like the perfect excuse to bake something warm and gooey to me. The oven...

I'm convinced the Texans victory last weekend was the result of the delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookies I baked. Naturally I had to make more for today's game. I'm not taking any chances. Maybe my cookies are the good luck charm the Texans need to take down the Ravens! For today's game festivities I decided to use the cinnamon M\&M we...

I think have found the secret to perfect chocolate chip cookies. Browned butter. Seriously. Both Dustin and I have proclaimed these cookies to be the best chocolate chip cookies we have ever tasted. Although maybe I should reserve judgment until I’ve tried the infamous New York Times' perfect chocolate chip cookies where you have to let the...

What should you do when you have two cartons of unconsumed eggnog that was supposed to be served at your holiday, but you got so caught up decorating (and eating) cookies and playing Rock Band 2 until 2:30 in the morning that you forgot? You start baking like crazy with it. I spent a lot of time looking up fun eggnog recipes. I had been...

Sugar cookies have a special place in my heart. Not just any sugar cookie though. Not sugar cookies from Pillsbury or sugar cookies purchased from the grocery store. I'm talking about homemade, rolled out sugar cookies cut into fun shapes. To me these cookies will forever be known as "Grandpa Cookies." I used to make sugar cookies with my...

About two days after I made my pumpkin snickerdoodles, I came across this recipe for Skinny Snickerdoodles by Chocolate Covered Katie. Considering all of the holiday baking I'm planning over the next couple of weeks, I'm doing anything I can to make great tasting, lower calorie desserts to maximize the number of cookies I can eat! So I made a...

I think these are my favorite peanut butter cookies. They have a ton of peanut butter flavor, are really soft, and sweetened perfectly with maple syrup and no added refined sugars. I really like the addition of a fairly generous portion of course sea salt sprinkled on the tops because the saltiness goes so well with peanut butter. The cookies...

Tres leches is one of those desserts that I'd never think to make myself because it seems like it would be hard to get to that perfect level of moistness without the cake becoming soggy. Apparently it's really not that hard to do— you just have to make sure you get a lot of air bubbles for the absorption of the sweet milky topping. This...

Snickerdoodles are a simple and versatile cookie that you can take from a favorite, year-round treat, to a more unique seasonal treat by the addition of some pumpkin. I thought the addition of pumpkin would pair nicely with the cinnamon sugar coating of snickerdoodles. I'm not going to lie— I also liked the idea of combining the word pumpkin...
