Pumpkin Spice Roll with Chocolate Mascarpone Filling
My husband, Matthew, LOVES pumpkin pie. Actually, he just loves pumpkin-flavored things in general. I, on the other hand, do not…unless it happens to have chocolate with it. Pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies, yes! Pumpkin spice roll with chocolate filling, ABSOLUTELY! So, I made a compromise with Matthew and asked what he thought about having this instead of the traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year. Thankfully he completely agreed. Do you have any recipes that are a variation of the original? Hope y’all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

GG Gladys’ Molasses Cookies
I distinctly remember the cookie jar filled to the brim every time we’d visit Grandma’s home. She loved to bake, and was damn good at it…pies, cakes, jello salads…okay, jello doesn’t involve baking. Her molasses cookies are a definite favorite among her posterity. When my genius of a brother was about 5 years old, he became rather distraught and proclaimed we shouldn’t swear and that molasses was a swear word…mole-asses (my powers of deduction was definitely not nearly that advanced at age 5). So from then on, we were to call molasses cookies gopher bottom cookies…over 20 years later, Gopher Bottom Cookies is the proper name in our household. The…

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s national chocolate chip cookie day! Probably one of the best holidays ever; and I never miss an excuse to make and then consume mass quantities of cookies. I have to admit though, the chocolate chip cookie has been one that has eluded me. Just about every recipe I’ve tried has failed the taste test. In my book, a chocolate chip cookie should be chocolatey, chewy in the middle and crisp on the edges. So when Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction posted her chewy chocolate chunk cookie recipe today on Instagram, I had to give it a try. Sally has never let me down…she is a culinary genius and every…

Sprinkle Pudding Cookies
Found this recipe on Pinterest the other day and just had to try it. I figured I like pudding and I like cookies, these must be amazing because they combined those two things. Guess what?! They are amazing! They’ve even been given Bean’s stamp of approval, which he doesn’t do very often with cookies. The original recipe called for vanilla pudding mix, I wanted to try making vanilla and chocolate. Both turned out perfect. ALSO…these cookies are dairy free and are gluten-free if you use gluten-free flour. If you want to try these cookies just head over to here.
