Cranberry-Pecan Blondies
As summer turns into fall, I like to start making recipes with fall flavors, like apples, cranberries, and pumpkin. Pecans are always a great compliment to these flavors, and although I like all kinds of nuts, I tend to gravitate toward pecans more in the autumn. So I was excited to receive some complimentary pecans…

Zingerman’s Bakehouse Brownies
If you’ve ever been to the picturesque college town of Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan, you may have heard about or eaten at the well-known, even world-famous Zingerman’s Bakehouse.

Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies
This was the perfect weekend for baking, since it was so cold outside. Cold and icy, too—not a good weather combination. I’d much rather be inside than out during weather like this! And there’s nothing like baking to help make things warm and cozy. I had thought about making some Red Velvet cookies at Christmastime…

Jumbo Ginger Molasses Cookies
I like these gingery molasses cookies so much, I think I will make them every fall and winter! I first made them during this past Christmas season and think they’re a great cookie to munch on during the cold weather. They’re flavored with lots of ginger and some cinnamon and cloves. They’re slightly crispy on the outside and soft and chewy…

Jumbo Oatmeal Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
I start thinking about making recipes with cranberries as soon as the fall season comes around and bake them all winter long, through Valentines Day! Cranberries, whether they’re fresh or dried, are such a classic fall and winter ingredient. It just wouldn’t seem like Thanksgiving or Christmas without cranberries, would it? And because these cookies have…

Bite-Size Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
I never have enough time to make all the holiday cookies I’m wanting to! Because making those pretty, festive cookies does take up quite a bit of time. That’s where this recipe comes in handy. It’s easy, because cake mix makes up part of the dough, but these cookies still look pretty and festive with the…

Colossal Cookies
There’s a little cafe I sometimes go to that sells Colossal Cookies. I thought the cafe came up with that name, but apparently there really is a type of cookie that is officially called a Colossal Cookie! They’re typically made with oats, peanut butter and chocolate chips. And you’d never know it, but there’s no flour in these—just a…

Dark Chocolate Almond Shortbread Squares
Dark chocolate and shortbread are two of my favorite sweets, and I discovered that they make a great combination as a cookie bar! Several years ago, I had found a recipe on the Eagle Brand® site and made it as directed, but was a little disappointed because my shortbread crust and the chocolate layer did not…

Pecan Chewies
What’s thick, rich, chewy, and buttery with lots of pecan chunks baked in? Pecan Chewies, that’s what. I saw a recipe for these bars over at Southern Bite, and just had to try them. They look like blondies, but they’re much chewier…and so yummy!

Blackberry Crumb Bars
All I can say is, whoever invented crumb bars was a genius. The buttery crumb topping…the fruit filling…they’re just hard to resist, especially when you make them with fresh summer fruit! I had the chance to pick some fresh wild blackberries growing right by Linn and Gayla’s home recently and I knew I was going to want…

Chocolate No-Bake Cookies
No-bake recipes come in very handy when the weather is hot and humid. And since I was wanting to make something chocolate, I thought Chocolate No-Bake Cookies would be perfect!

Dark Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Blondies
If you’re looking for something sweet to sink your teeth into, these blondies are exactly what you need! Some blondie recipes I’ve made before were more on the thinner side. But these are really thick and chewy. And they’re packed with dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate) chips, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans…a really yummy combination…
