• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

    Hi y’all! It’s been a while since we talked but if you were sitting in my kitchen today I’d make you a cup of coffee, serve you a slice of this cheesecake, and catch up on what’s going on in your life. But since we can’t sit down and chat today, here’s a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake that is a favorite at our house. But first I have to warn you, this cheesecake is indulgent. It all starts with a rich and creamy cheesecake that is filled with cookie dough and chocolate chips. A small slice goes a long way, which means it will last longer or…

  • Cookies and Cream Cookies with White Chocolate Chips

    Y’all, I am so excited to share these cookies with you today! Variations of these Cookies and Cream cookies were all over the internet last year, I saw them on at least 4 different blogs. I knew if that many people were talking about them and loving them that I needed to try them too!     You start with a basic cookie dough batter and sub cream cheese for some of the butter and instant milk powder for some of the flour. These changes make the cookies moist and rich. I’ll admit that I had some reservations about putting store bought cookies, even though they were Oreos, inside my…

  • White Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodles

    Today I’m sharing the second recipe for Sam’s Holiday Treats. These White Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodles started with a traditional Snickerdoodle made from the recipe I grew up enjoying every Christmas and then we add the magic ingredient…white chocolate chips and you have our new favorite way to enjoy Snickerdoodles!     Traditionally Snickerdoodles are made with cream of tartar. I don’t know about you, but I never have cream of tartar on hand and I bet you don’t either. So I’ve used baking powder to replace the cream of tartar and baking soda the recipe originally called for.     Soft, chewy, and covered in a tasty cinnamon and sugar mixture. These…

  • Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

    I have a confession to make…I like raisins and I love Oatmeal Raisin cookies! I feel like you either love raisins or you hate them and my husband, who is the main taste-tester around our house, doesn’t like them. I guess that’s just more proof that opposites attract. I’ve been craving Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for months and the raisins that have been sitting in my pantry have been mocking me. I finally had the chance to make some over the weekend and I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. The recipe for these cookies is based off of an Oatmeal Cookies recipe from my husband’s mom. I changed up a few of the…

  • Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae

    Today we are going to combine two recipes that I have already shared with you for One Bowl Fudgy Brownies and  Salted Caramel Ice Cream  and add Salted Caramel Sauce to make a killer Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae. This sundae is a showstopper and will definitely impress your family and friends. Now the Salted Caramel Sauce is what sends this sundae over the top. It is rich, creamy, and buttery. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be prepared, start to finish, in less than 10 minutes. I know that homemade caramel can be intimidating, but don’t be afraid of…

  • Salted Caramel Ice Cream

    I love ice cream! And with temperatures in the 90s every day this week, summer is officially here and cold desserts are my jam. Have you ever made homemade ice cream? It’s just slightly more difficult that buying some at the store and unfortunately takes a good bit of time, but the reward of homemade ice cream is definitely worth the extra work and time. Now, you might not keep heavy cream on hand like I do, but the rest of the ingredients are simple ones you probably already have in your kitchen. If you’ve been around here for a while you’ve heard me talk about my love of sweet…
