Snickerdoodles are ranked among the well known classic and nostalgic cookies, such as chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter and sugar cookies. They have a soft chewy texture (imparted by the addition of cream of tartar) and a warm, comforting, cinnamon flavor. For me, I would say that snickerdoodles are...

It has been nearly three months since I have shared a new brownie recipe, obviously far too long. This recipe is another mashup, this time inspired by my oldest child. Sometimes, I’m not really sure what I feel like making so I’ll fish for ideas, asking my family what...

As you know (because I may have mentioned it once or twice), apple pie is my favorite fruity dessert. But not just any apple pie, specifically THIS apple pie – Caramel Toffee Apple Pie. My mother actually started making a version of this pie (perhaps the original version, I’m...

Apple desserts are far and away my favorite fruit based desserts. Apple pie is pretty much the only fruit based pie I will eat (willingly and happily) and the only one I make somewhat regularly. I like apples on top of cheesecakes, waffles, vanilla or caramel ice cream and...

Normally, I’m not much of a candy person. I generally think the best use of candy is to bake it into something else. Unless that candy is fudge. My love affair with fudge started at a very young age. I remember my grandmother’s old fashioned cocoa fudge she would...

Many people do Christmas (or holiday) cookie trays, and originally I did call mine that as well. But with trays that are comprised of an assortment of cookies, bars, brownies and fudges, it seemed a bit of a misnomer to call them cookie trays. As the number and variety...

I love caramel candy, but I’m not a big fan of of the stick in your teeth, hard to chew variety of caramels. Back when I first posted this recipe, there weren’t a lot of options for plain caramel candies at my local grocery store. In fact, there was...
