Caramel Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies

February 9, 2015 by Cate 16 Comments

Fudgy red velvet cookies are full of chocolate chips and gooey caramel! These caramel stuffed red velvet cookies are the perfect treat to make for Valentine’s Day!

There are only 5 days until Valentine‘s Day! Do you have fun plans? I’ve actually never really been that into Valentine’s Day – but I do like any excuse I can get to bake delicious and festive treats. There is just something about heart shaped sprinkles that makes any baked good taste better! Like Caramel Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies. Sure these fudgy chocolatey cookies stuffed with ooey gooey caramel and melty chocolate chips would taste amazing on their own – but the Valentine’s sprinkles just make them so darn cute!! So I guess I liked – I am into Valentine’s Day. 🙂

Burnt Sugar Almonds

December 17, 2014 by Cate 19 Comments

Burnt Sugar Almonds are the perfect blend of sweet and salty. They are so delicious – I can’t stop eating them! Plus, they will make your house smell amazing!

There are 7 more shopping days until Christmas! Do you have everyone crossed off your list yet? If not (and even if you do!) I have a wonderful idea for a holiday gift – a gorgeous new cookbook! This book, Almonds: Recipes, History, Culture is full of gorgeous photos and tons of delicious recipes. It would be the perfect addition to any cook’s collection, and also makes a great coffee table book.

I love the idea of making something from a cookbook and then giving it as a gift with the book. I made Burnt Sugar Almonds from the Almonds book and wrapped them up in a cellophane bag tied with a pretty little ribbon. It makes such a cute and thoughtful gift, not to mention a delicious one!

Dark Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

June 10, 2014 by Cate 45 Comments

Soft and chewy oatmeal cookies are full of tons of dark chocolate chips and a hint of cinnamon – these cookies will be a new favorite in your cookie jar!

What a week it has been so far! I meant to post these cookies for you yesterday morning, but sometimes life gets in the way of the blog. Rude, I know. But no worries, because I’m sure your Tuesday morning could use a nice dose of gooey chocolate chips – am I right? Specifically, gooey dark chocolate chips coming out of an oatmeal cookie!

Yep, these dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are definitely improving my week already! Just looking at a picture of that melty chocolate makes me smile.

Peanut Butter Brownies

May 28, 2014 by Cate 13 Comments

Rich and fudgy brownies are stuffed with a layer of peanut butter filling – these peanut butter brownies are like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in brownie form!

Today is a very important day – it is TheBetterHalf’s Birthday! As the biggest chocolate peanut butter lover of all time (I’m pretty sure he thinks he was the first person to like the delicious flavor combo), I of course had to make him something choco pb. And since I already made a chocolate peanut butter cake for Chez CateyLou’s birthday, I made TheBetterHalf Peanut Butter Brownies! Fudgy chocolate brownies with a thick peanut butter layer sandwiched right in the middle – if that doesn’t scream Birthday Treat, I don’t know what does!
