The Story: I always see beautiful bar cookies and brownies and other cut treats online. But in my college apartment, I don’t have any good knives. So guess what, mine never turn out pretty. And it’s sort of hard to post with ugly photos, because I doubt anyone would take me seriously if my desserts…

Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Story: Sometimes I just can’t let something go to waste—like oranges sitting on top of my fridge. I just hear them calling in the middle of the night, “Lizzy! Lizzy! Use my wonderful, bright zest! Share me with the world! Don’t let me mold up here next to the cereal boxes…” Ingredients: 1 cup…
Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches
The Story: Sometimes I bake things and I am very happy I made them, but I don’t expect to be baking them again unless I fill an order. And other times, I bake things and I say to myself, “Wow, I will be making these again soon.” These cookies are ridiculous. They are seriously…

Eggnog Malt Cookies
The Story: When I see eggnog next to the milk in the grocery store, I know it’s the holiday season. I love everything about it—the richness, the flavor, the texture. But I hate how fast it goes when I go home for Christmas. I don’t think it even makes it into the fridge. It…
Grandma’s Pecan Tasties
The Story: My grandparents sort of live in the middle of no where. But that is what makes it so amazing. You step out their front door and all you see is desert land for miles. They live off well water from their yard, they heat their house using a wood burning stove and…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies
The Story: So I guess these are technically “whoopie pies,” though the word “whoopie” sort of grosses me out. Anyway… one of my favorite treats that I’ve made is my Homemade Oreos. They are so rich and creamy and everyone always loves them I wanted to make a pumpkin version for the Fall season….
Strawberry Shortbread Ice Cream Sandwiches
Congratulations to Sabrina from Eat Drink and Be Merry for winning the apron giveaway, email me your information so I can get that to you! The Story: I have been on a cookie craze lately. When I think about shortbread cookies, they don’t quite make sense to me. A short bread cookie really doesn’t…
Big Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Story: First of all, thank you to FoodBuzz for making me a part of their Top 9 for March 31st. I felt completely honored, and it didn’t help my view count either. Second, I would like to ask something of you. I am a part of a performing group called Noteworthy, and…
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Story: Cupcakes are fun and have their place in my life, but after a long day of classes, sometimes I just want to sit down with a few cookies and a big glass of milk. Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened 1 ½ cup sugar 2 eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla…
Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Story: First of all, I know how insane these may seem. But when all I bake is dainty cupcakes, sometimes the men in my life want something that seems a little more manly. What is more manly than bacon? I love bacon as well, so it worked out okay. …
Eggnog Cookies
The Story: Yesterday I had the chance to go to Your Homebased Mom’s kitchen and she asked me to bring a few holiday recipes. I wanted to try something new and I wanted it to involve eggnog. I found this recipe online and it got rave reviews, so I knew it couldn’t go…
