Red Velvet Peanut Butter Blossoms
Did you know the Peanut Butter Blossom was invented in Ohio? In fact, it’s roots go back to my very own hometown, Gibsonburg, Ohio. The peanut butter blossoms were entered into the 1957 Pillsbury baking contest. Though they didn’t win (third place nationally), these cookies stood the test of time and are now beloved everywhere. Peanut butter blossoms are one of my favorite cookies, especially around the holidays. So finding out they originated in my hometown propelled them to the top of my baking list.

Halloween Black Chocolate M&M Cookies

Ghoulish Dark Chocolate Peanut M&M Cookies
Who doesn’t love seasonal M&M’s? I absolutely love using them in bakes – since the colors always fit the season. Unfortunately, I usually forget that they exist until about a week before the corresponding holiday. And then they’re always a challenge to track down. Thankfully, I happened across the Ghoul’s Mix Peanut M&M’s while running errands. I knew I wanted a dark dessert that allowed the bright colors to pop. So, I decided to adapt my favorite brownie cookie recipe into a fitting vessel for these M&M’s.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sometimes you just need a homey cookie. You know what I mean – a comfort cookie that warms your insides and just makes you smile. In this dreary, rainy fall week I was really craving that homey-type cookie to brength warmth to my kitchen. I dove into my recipe box and pulled out a classic – Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Maple Bourbon Pecan Cookies
This time of the year, it’s hard not to think about Bardstown and Bourbon Country, as fall is the best time to visit. With the leaves changing colors and smell of fall in the air, the season perfectly complements the wonderful smell of distilling bourbon and charming country vibes. It’s also the perfect setting for showcasing fall flavors through food and drink. I’m no stranger to adding bourbon to my recipes – sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it’s a leap. Maple and pecans top the list on flavors that work with bourbon, so I knew Maple Bourbon Pecan Cookies would be the perfect fall treat.
Pumpkin S’mores Cookies
Two things best define fall to me: pumpkins and campfires. The warming spices of pumpkin desserts pair perfectly with the toasty warmth a campfire brings. So I decided to pair pumpkin with the quintessential campfire treat: s’mores!
Chewy Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chip Brownies
It’s finally fall! Which means… ALL THE FALL FLAVORS! This year, I’m kicking it off with one of my favorite flavors: pumpkin. These chewy pumpkin dark chocolate chip cookies are delightfully soft and chewy and full of pumpkin flavor. With a warm blend of spices, they’re a perfect treat for these cooler days.
Banana Bread Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
You can only bake banana bread so many times before you need a change. With yet another set of ripe bananas ready for baking, but tired of endless loaves of banana bread, I decided it was time for a something new. So, I started thinking – how else can I use my ripe bananas? Not muffins, those are just convenient bread slices. But… how about what I do best – cookies!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
The cookie that started it all! I’ve been baking chocolate chip cookies for as long as I can remember. To my friends and family, they’re a staple of my baking repertoire. As my baking skills have increase, my recipe has continued to evolve as I search for the exact cookie profile I desire: soft, chewy, and filled with ooey gooey chocolate chips.
