We’ve been going crazy with the pumpkin recipes this Fall, haven’t we? All of the pumpkin recipes that we’ve shared here so far have been delicious (especially these cupcakes), but these really take the cake (well, pie). These bars entail a perfectly spiced pumpkin pie filling sandwiched between two buttery oatmeal cookies, which, as you…
Espresso Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
We are both tea people. It probably is hereditary, considering that our mom has two full drawers in our kitchen filled with tea (and this is after she cut down her supply quite a bit!), a shelf of unique tea pots she has collected, and a collection of pretty tea cups. In my opinion, there…
Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting
Let’s talk about things that are ugly. Some things that come into my (Celine) mind are suburban strip malls, rainy slush in the middle of winter, gum on the sidewalk, and the mood inside Congress on a normal day. All bad things, inside and out! But then there are ugly things that are actually good,…
Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Crumb Muffins
My senior year schedule has been busy to say the least. I like most of my classes, but the homework load, especially in AP Bio, has been huge. A few weeks ago my class was learning about the macromolecules that make up life (carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, in case you were wondering). We…
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
A few weeks ago, our parents went to a party and requested that we make something for them to bring. We made these cupcakes (a whole bunch of mini ones, plus a few regular ones for pictures!) and wow, were they amazing! The pumpkin cake is truly delicious, with the perfect amount of spice and…
Toasted Marshmallow Cookie Bars
Several weekends ago, our brother had a birthday party. There was a bonfire, and the kids all toasted marshmallows, but there were a ton left over because everyone was full from this huge and very delicious cake: (That’s three layers of cake and about six batches of frosting) The marshmallows been slowly dwindling in our…
Snickerdoodles
Hi everyone, and sorry again for the rather intermittent posting! We have both been so tied up with homework, after-school activities, and college applications (not that they’re done…) that blog posting has been on the back burner. Never fear, though- this weekend, after the SATs on Saturday, we plan to do a lot of cooking…
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies with Cranberries and White Chocolate
We have been trying to find a perfect pumpkin cookie recipe for about four autumns now and most recipes have sort of failed. Because pumpkin is such a wet ingredient, it is difficult to incorporate it into cookie dough without ruining the texture and turning the cookies into little cakes (which still can taste good,…
Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Since we are back in school, that means that we are back to regular requests for baked goods to be brought in. Since we love baking, we don’t mind it at all (although unfortunately we have not had the time to make large quantities of treats)! Anyway, we brought in these particular cupcakes for a…
Glazed Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Sorry for the slow posting this week! We’ve been pretty busy with school activities and homework, but hopefully next week we will be able to post more consistently. Since fall begins Sunday, we decided to share an ideal breakfast treat for you to make Sunday morning. We’ve made pumpkin muffins before (many, many times) and…
