Walnut Baklava
I’ve never made baklava before and have heard it can be complicated so I was a little nervous about trying this recipe. While phyllo dough can be difficult to work with, this actually wasn’t as difficult as I thought! Let me start off by saying that I did not make my own phyllo dough; I’m…

Tiramisu Brownie Crinkle Cookies
It’s a pretty easy recipe and reminded me a bit of the Brownie Crinkle Cookies we love so much. You melt the chocolate, oil, and instant espresso powder – making sure not to heat the chocolate too much otherwise it will potentially seize up. I used regular cooking oil rather than olive oil since I…

Best Apple Pie Cookies
It’s National Apple Pie Day! I could have made an apple pie to celebrate but I thought it would be fun to do something slightly different so I found a recipe for apple pie cookies! Making the apple filling was very easy and I love breaking down apples in butter and sugar because it makes…

Lemon Shortbread Squares
Every once in a while I get into a big lemon kick and get in the mood to have something like lemon squares. I made those a few years ago so I decided to try a new recipe this time. Similar to the other recipe I used the crust is very simple to make and…

Lucky Charms Cookies
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day I decided to change things up a little and try these Lucky Charms Cookies! While I’m more of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch kind of girl, these looked fun and festive! This recipe isn’t very difficult, which is nice. The most time consuming aspect was sorting the cereal. It’s a pretty…

Key Lime Shortbread Cookies
I thought I had made shortbread before, but apparently not. This looked like a fun recipe (and started with the letter K) so it made the “to bake” list. This is honestly a super easy recipe in terms of ingredients. You beat the butter and sugar together and then add everything else. I got everything…
