Salted Butterscotch Cookies
I love a good cookie recipe, mostly because they’re just always so easy and low-effort. This one was no different—just a simple dough, one bowl, and you’re off. I hadn’t made anything with butterscotch in a while and forgot how much I actually like it. It’s not something I crave all the time, but when…

Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies
I can’t remember how I ran across this recipe, but they looked different and fun so I thought I’d give them a try. The process starts by pulsing the sugar in a food processor to get it super fine, which helps make the cookies soft. Then you mix in butter, egg, vanilla, and the dry…

Snickerdoodle Cookies
Snickerdoodles always make me think of the holidays because that’s when we made them and somehow I’ve never made them on this blog. Honestly this recipe is super easy and I love that it doesn’t require any chilling time. You’ll start by mixing the cinnamon-sugar topping in a bowl. Set it aside and then in…

It’s your standard cookie dough base: cream the butter and sugars, mix in the eggs and vanilla, then add…

Gluten-Free Maple Pecan Shortbread
I’ve been on a bit of a shortbread kick lately, so when I saw this maple pecan version, I thought it sounded perfect for the holidays. The recipe also looked super simple, which is always a win. You start by mixing everything but the pecans; just beat it all on low until it pulls together…

Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
These were a staple cookie in our house around Christmas so when I ran across this recipe it looked like it would be a lot of fun. The recipe we used growing up is probably the same one everyone used where you made peanut butter cookies and then topped with a Hershey’s Kiss. The dough…

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…

Tarheel Pie
My husband discovered this recipe and it reminds me a little of a Kentucky Derby Pie. That’s one of my favorite pies and since this one is all chocolate I had a feeling I’d love it. This is a simple recipe and I used a pre-made pie crust so that made it a lot easier.…
