These cookies were packed with mini M&Ms, mini pretzels, pecans, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips! I love kitchen sink […]

My husband loves to joke that we have a magic countertop because anytime our bananas become overripe, these muffins magically appear! I load up my banana muffins with chocolate chips and chopped nuts of some kind for a nice added crunch. What’s not to love???

My love for coffee has been finding it’s way into some of my recent bakes with the hope of eventually offering a Coffee Lover’s Cookie Box of some kind. First up, we’ve got Espresso Snickerdoodles (or Espressodoodles, if you will). These are our basic Snickerdoodle recipe but we ditched the cinnamon and added some espresso. […]
