💕 Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies! Peanut butter 💕 Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies! Peanut butter and chocolate go together like eggs and bacon, macaroni and cheese, coffee and doughnuts; maybe even Romeo and Juliet. It’s a favorite combination, and the perfect way to celebrate any holiday, but especially in a heart shape (I just used a heart shaped pan! I’ll link it in my stories) for Valentine’s Day. 💕 The layers are comprised of My Favorite Brownie recipe as the base, a creamy peanut butter filling with cacoa nibs for crunch, and a smooth, glossy chocolate ganache. The cacao nibs add both a bitter note that offsets the sweetness and richness of the chocolate and peanut butter, and a much-needed crunch.

💕 Heart shaped Cinnamon Rolls for Valentine’s 💕 Heart shaped Cinnamon Rolls for Valentine’s Day, inspired by @zoebakes. I used my buttermilk cinnamon roll recipe from #100MorningTreats here (recipe is also on my blog and linked in profile), which baked up nice and cozy in a 10-inch heart shaped pan. Flower drama inspired by @lizpruitt and @violetcakeslondon. ❤️
💕 Half-n-Half White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies 💕 Half-n-Half White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies! A chewy, buttery, delicious cookie with excellent flavor: the white chocolate and raspberry shine in each bite. I use freeze dried raspberries for vibrant color and fruitiness. These are on my Valentine’s baking list. 💕 *Link to the recipe in my profile!* ____________ #cookierecipe #bakingcookies #raspberrycookie #cookiedesign
I’m starting to think about Valentine’s treats I’m starting to think about Valentine’s treats. These Olive Oil Sugar Cookies with Blood Orange Glaze are a favorite, naturally pink without any food coloring. They’re both beautiful and delicious, especially with the fruitiness of the olive oil. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ p.s. I miss those little hands. ❤️⁣⁣ ⁣Link to the *recipe* in my profile!⁣ _______________ #cookierecipes #sugarcookie #cookieoftheday #bakingcookies ⁣

Marshmallow Fluff + Peanut Butter + Brownies = Yes Marshmallow Fluff + Peanut Butter + Brownies = Yes, please. And you don’t need a mixer to make these – just a bowl and a whisk. Nothing beats a rich and chewy, chocolatey brownie with this filling swirled throughout the top! ⭐️ Link to the recipe in my profile. ____________ #peanutbutterbrownies #brownierecipes #marshmallowfluff #bakingrecipes
Merry merry! I just assembled my cookie tray for C Merry merry! I just assembled my cookie tray for Christmas Eve. My husband had to have surgery this past Wednesday (he is doing okay!) so this year I had to plan ahead and make cookie dough and bars that I knew would freeze well. We have: Double Ginger, Oatmeal Raisin, Toasted Sesame, Chocolate Chip, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Shortbread with sprinkles, Coffee Blondies, Seven Layer Bars, Peppermint Bark, and Rolo Turtles. (I know Chocolate Chip is a controversial holiday cookie but everyone requested them, so.) Raising a glass (or cookie) to all of you, and wishing peace and joy to you and yours. Much love. ❤️
Easy Chocolate Espresso Cookies! Rich with so much Easy Chocolate Espresso Cookies! Rich with so much chocolate flavor, have slightly crisp edges the day of baking, and a tender center that lasts for days (which makes them perfect for cookie boxes). I’ve found the inclusion of ground espresso and a dash of coffee-flavored liqueur adds really nice flavor, and compliments the chocolate perfectly. They’re simple to make, no refrigeration of the dough needed. ⭐️ Link to the recipe in my profile!⁣ _____________ #chocolatecookies #bakingcookies #cookierecipe #cookiebox #cookietin
