Made these for a holiday party with my family — everyone went NUTS! They. Are. So. Good. A little crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy and soft on the inside. I also substituted in 1 cup whole wheat flour, and it added a really nice flavor and texture. These are perfection — snickerdoodles aren’t even my kind of cookies (I’m more of a funfetti chocolate chip girl). Oh, forgot to add, I made them for a holiday party, but my family ATE THEM ALL beforehand so I had to make a second batch — the recipe is so easy and fast though, I didn’t even mind! You’ve gotta make these….right now.. Recipe >> Soft & Thick Snickerdoodles @ sallysbakingaddiction.com

My husband and I first tried this dessert at a family function last year Fourth of July. Since then I've been waiting very patiently for a second appearance. We both could've sworn they were called almond bars and made by Uncle Jeffrey, so finding the recipe would be a breeze, but when we brought it up no one seemed to know what we were talking about! I was hell-bent on finding this recipe, the bars were unforgettable! After some digging, a few days, and help from the whole family we finally found it! Almond Sheet Cake by Celeste Lewis.

I must say, this mac and cheese was quite delicious, and definitely tastier than the made-from-a-box versions we ate so many years ago. It’s spicy and satisfying, and my husband was definitely a happy camper the night he had this for dinner. I’ll be making it for him whenever he requests it (which I’m sure will be often), because I loved it just as much as he did.

While potatoes are cooking put oil in cast iron skillet or other heavy pan and heat in oven.   Drain the potatoes  and place them back in the pot.  Put the pot back on the burner and shake to dry the potatoes and to rough up their surface. This is what gives roasted potatoes that perfect crust. Add the potatoes to the hot oil , toss to coat and roast turning once or twice.

I made this and it is FANTASTIC!!! Arguably one of the easiest and tastiest cakes I have made in a long time. Brought it to a dinner with friends. Everyone loved it. However, make sure to use the right size pan to bake in because I used a cookie sheet, but it was not big enough and I had icing running over. Otherwise, I plan on making this for my brothers housewarming party with his new wife (and a larger pan, LOL)! I love a good sheet cake, it is the perfect thing for feeding a crowd. I can see why I kept going back for more of this. It looks delicious!

Hello my Christmas recipe loving foodies! Tonight, we are making another recipe near and dear to my heart. Each year, while I lived with my best friend, my sister-in-law, we always psyched ourselves up for the Christmas season. We knew that when the time rolled around, we would be making peanut butter balls. It was a tradition. The first time we made them, the chocolate was perfectly melted. It was magical! The second time, the chocolate was very difficult. There were other times we made them, but those two times are the times that stick out to me. We made a great team, and I hope you and your family can find the same enjoyment and feelings of doing something as a family as we did! Now that I don't live with my big sister, I wanted to do something to remember the great holiday times. This will be my first holiday without her. This recipe is for you, Jei Jei! Just a note…I was having a bit of a sticky issue when making the balls, but if anyone else has a problem you can just solve ...

Halloween Treats Don't Get Much Easier to Make Than These Oreo Eyeballs.. Unlike most cookies, cupcakes, and other treats, there's no baking involved; rather, it's more of an assembly job. Halloween OREO Cookie Eyeballs Ingredients αnd Supplies: * OREO chocolαte sαndwich cookies – no need for Double Stuff, just regulαr will do. * Blue αnd Green gel decorαting gel – I used stαndαrd gel, but you could use the spαrkle gel too. * Red gel food coloring – you could use the gel for this αlso, the color just might not be αs intense. * Blαck/brown M&Ms or Reeses pieces * Smαll pαintbrush – α little bigger thαn α toothpick, but not much. You cαn use α regulαr pαintbrush, but α “food sαfe” brush is best. How to mαke OREO eyebαlls: 1. Cαrefully remove one of the chocolαte cookies from the OREO. You will end up with chocol...

These cookies have pretty much made me famous. OK, so not famous. I mean, it isn't even my recipe. But, they are by far the cookie that have gotten the most reaction from others. People simply love them. In college I discovered Lemon Drop cookies from a place called Cookies By Design, they were my obsession. My roomates served them at my bridal shower. I tried for years and years to find a recipe close but never did. Several years ago my mom bought a cookbook ("5 star recipes from well-known Latter Day Saints") and this recipe was in it. I have to make a plan to give these away before I even make them. I could honestly eat them all day and all night long.  Lemon Drop Cookies makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies Ingredients: 2 c. sugar 1 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening 3 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. lemon extract 4 c. flour 1 1/2 tsp soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp. salt Finely chopped zest of one lemon 1 (6-oz) package lemon drops (sometimes these are tricky to find, I usually ...

This is my version of homemade Mallomars. But instead of painstakingly forming individual cookies, I use the bar cookie method, spreading everything in one large pan. I end up with a crisp, homemade graham cracker crust topped by honey marshmallow and a thick layer of chocolate. Though they are easier than the original recipe, I wouldn’t call them a super-quick dessert. You still need to devote a good part of an afternoon to their confection. Or try to make the components over several days if it’s easier to carve that out of your schedule. However you manage it, the payoff is big: They are truly scrumptious, and I guarantee that if you bring them to a potluck or party, no one else will have brought anything remotely like them. They are unusual, crowd pleasing, fancy looking, and even slightly good for you (okay, just slightly) from the whole wheat flour. Mallobars Makes about 18 (2-inch) squares Ingredients: for the graham cracker base: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup (2 stick...

My favorite late night indulgence is salami and cream cheese on crackers. Salty cured sausage, sweet creamy cheese, crisp buttery crackers, served with a refreshing chilled beverage...doesn't get much better than that! However there are a few problems translating this delicious little snack into the ideal appetizer for a crowd. The traditional method of applying cream cheese to the cracker and adding a piece of salami results in a soggy cracker if left in the refrigerator for any length of time. The sodden cracker was the most important hurdle to overcome, but then came the painstaking effort and endless trials I had to put myself and the family through to get the salami to cheese ratio just right. Somehow we endured and these addictive little roll-ups have solved all the problems inherent to serving these tasty tidbits to guests, as a bonus they came out rather beautiful in the process.  Feel free to add additional ingredients to/instead of the green pepper, such as jalapeno, shre...

So I made the cake and it is VERY good! Perfect with a hot cup of coffee. I made a couple of mistakes – 1) of adding one too many Tablespoons of cinnamon, but really, I love cinnamon so it was a good mistake (lol) and 2) I didn’t measure the powdered sugar – tried eyeballing the two cups, but clearly it wasn’t enough. The glaze wasn’t thick enough like this photo but i think its still amazing. This one is a keeper. Recipe >> Cinnamon Roll Cake @ lilluna.com

Despite the fact these cream cheese brownies are made with whole grain flour, I am not trying to pass them off as healthy. The thing is, healthy people like treats too! And treats don’t ALWAYS have to be turned around upside down and modified so you can say it is healthy. Do I like doing that sometimes with recipes? Sure! But when hallowen cream cheese brownies are involved, you don’t want to make so many changes that they no longer taste the way they were meant to taste.
