To be honest, our favorite kinds of cookies are the simple ones. Chocolate chip cookies are a given; dessert perfection in one cookie. Peanut butter and sugar cookies are another reason that we think simple is better. Why fix what’s not broken, right? However, it’s always fun to try something new, especially when making them…

Our Favorite Brownies
Everyone has their favorite brownie recipe. We have tried many different ones but continually come back to the Baker’s one-bowl brownie recipe. This may come as a surprise, because we normally prefer recipes from Cook’s Illustrated or Bon Appetit- certainly not an affiliate of Kraft Foods! But hey, they knew what they were doing when…
Fudge Sauce Two Ways
Once you’ve tried one (or both) of these fudge sauces, you’ll never go back to the store-bought kind. On the left is a classic hot fudge sauce, and on the right is a vanilla bean white chocolate fudge sauce that tastes sort of like marshmallow topping. Both are crazily delicious and go well over a…
Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Coconut
Cakes are always so much fun to make! While neither of us would necessarily call cake our favorite dessert (we prefer things like ice cream, cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, and anything citrus…a lemon bar sounds good right now), we love to make them. This cake, however, is fun both to make and to eat. It…
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with Nutella
For a while, we haven’t really loved Nutella, shocking though that is. Neither of us really like hazelnuts that much, so we usually don’t bother eating it. That is, until we saw these cookies. We figured that there was nothing to lose as far as making them, so why not try them out? Well, good…
Peppermint Bark Cookies
A few weeks ago, well before Christmas baking season had really begun, we saw a bag of peppermint bark baking pieces at Trader Joe’s. It obviously went into our cart pretty quickly! We waited for a little while to use them, and finally made these cookies. They were very, very good! The peppermint bark pieces…
Oreo Peppermint Bark
This peppermint bark is pretty much amazing- there are no other words to describe it. Peppermint bark is usually delicious made in the traditional fashion (unless the layers of chocolate and white chocolate are too thick, resulting in a boulder of hard-to-eat candy) but adding chopped Oreos to the top brought these up a couple…
Caramel Brownies
Whatever your feelings were about the election, these brownies are a perfect response. They will surely cheer you up if you are unhappy about the results (chocolate always improves things!), and serve as a tasty victory dessert if you are happy about the results. We look forward to voting in the next election! Politics aside,…
Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
High school has been an annoying interference in blog posting- we’ve got lots of recipes on our “To-try” list but basically no time to make or photograph them (our math grades are more important, unfortunately!). While these cookies are certainly far from inventive or creative, they are one of our favorite things to make and…
Chocolate Swirl Buns
When Annie over at Annie’s Eats posted about these buns two days ago, we knew we had to make them! They are a mini version of chocolate babka, minus the streusel. We worked at a retirement home over the summer, and they often served babka. It was purchased from a frozen food supplier and was…
