Loaded Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

I mentioned in an earlier post how cookies are my go-to dessert due to how quickly you can go from craving to warm, sugary satisfaction. What this means is that 1) I always have cookie fixings on hand and 2) I'm always up to trying out a new recipe. I've recently been interested in trying out gluten free recipes, not because of an intolerance, but because they often have interesting substitutions that are more nutritious than all purpose flour.

The Ultimate Cheesecake Cookies

Soft, creamy, and rich these cream cheese cookies are topped with cream cheese buttercream frosting and a light dusting of brown sugar and cinnamon. Cookies don't get much more decadent than this!!

The Ultimate Cheesecake Cookies

I've been baking cookies for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I had a children's cookbook that came with color coded measuring spoons and I must have made that chocolate chip cookie recipe hundreds of times. Suffice it to say, cookies are (and have always been) my go to dessert; the dough comes together quickly and you can usually go from craving to warm, sugary satisfaction in under 30 minutes.

Upgraded Cake Mix

A foolproof recipe for enhanced cake mix that will wow you and your fellow cake eaters with its simplicity and deliciousness.

Three years ago, my husband requested a cake for his birthday (chocolate on chocolate, natch) and I knew I wouldn't be satisfied just baking a box cake and slathering it with store bought frosting. Yes, they are simple and straightforward, but I wanted something more! I'd also been DVRing episodes of the Barefoot Contessa (I ❤ Ina!), and felt more than a little inspired by the wedding cake episode. I wanted to bake a yummy cake, make frosting from scratch, and decorate my first-ever layer cake. Because I wasn't quite ambitious enough to bake from scratch, I turned to the interwebs and came across several recipes that promised to improve basic supermarket mixes. I settled on one in part due to its inclusion of sour cream (cuz yum!) and gave it a whirl. OH MY GAWD. It was the best cake I'd ever made.
