Marshmallow Hot Cocoa Cookies

These marshmallow-stuffed cookies were such a fun bake (though a little messy). I was a little skeptical about how they’d hold together, but once the dough chilled, they were super easy to work with. You start by melting chocolate with a little oil (I used a microwave since it’s a little easier in my mind…

Chocolate Orange Shortbread Cookies
Again—shortbread for the win. These were super easy to make, just a tiny bit more effort than some other shortbread recipes since I melted a little chocolate and added some orange zest on top, but honestly, that extra step made them feel kind of special. It starts off by mixing the sugar and orange zest…

Butter Cookies
Every once in a while I end up with a recipe that just doesn’t turn out and this was one of those. I won’t any time on the recipe itself since it’s very easy and straightforward other than to say that I followed the recipe exactly. Despite this I did notice my dough was a…

English Toffee Shortbread

The Downton Abbey Afternoon Tea Cookbook is a lot of fun and shoutout to my aunt for buying it for me. I should probably be drinking tea with some of these bakes, but so far all of the ones I’ve tried have been pretty good. This recipe was so easy, and shortbread is quickly climbing the ranks as…

Raspberry Linzer Cookies

This wasn’t what I had originally planned on making for R, but for time reasons I had to scrap the other and this is what I did instead. I don’t actually think I’ve made Linzer cookies before, but they look striking so it’s been on my “to bake” list for a while. This recipe is…

Chocolate Peppermint Madelines

I decided it was time to break out the madeline pan again and this recipe looked fun and festive. This was a pretty easy recipe you basically whisk all of the dry ingredients together (ideally after sifting). Then you whip the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and peppermint together for about 8 minutes. You’ll fold in the…

Butter Pecan Cookies

Happy (Early) Thanksgiving! What better way to celebrate than with these Butter Pecan Cookies! There are a few steps here that aren’t in a standard cookie recipe but it’s worth it. First you’ll butter the pecans and that’s pretty easy (also makes the house smell amazing!). Next you’ll mix together all of the dry ingredients…

Brown Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies; however, my husband does not. Normally I’ll just make an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie for him, but every once in a while I’ll make oatmeal raisin cookies for me. I’ve tried a few different kinds of oatmeal cookies before, but apparently never tried an oatmeal raisin cookie on this blog…

Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies

This recipe reminded me of a Kentucky Derby Pie (one of my favorites!) so I knew I wanted to try it. This recipe is a little time consuming to keep that in mind. First you’ll want to brown the pecans. We only have whole pecans so we had to chop those and then brown them.…

Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cookie
It’s been a while since I made something gluten-free, so I found these flourless brownie cookies and thought I’d give them a shot. Gluten-free baking has gotten easier, but it’s always nice (in my opinion) when you can find naturally gluten-free recipes. This recipe is super simple and you basically just throw together all of…
