Dessert

Sweet indulgences to satisfy any craving, tested desserts that are as fun to bake as they are to share.

  • Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies

    Last fall we were visiting my in-laws. My mother-in-law made Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies three afternoons in a row because the kids kept asking for them. I watched her make them four times before I figured out her little secret. She freezes the cream cheese centers before wrapping them in dough. That one cold step keeps…

  • Banana Pudding Cookies Recipe | Snacks to Bake, How to Make Banana Pudding with Cookies, Banana Pudding Mix

    I haven’t shared many banana based cookie recipes on this blog, but these banana pudding cookies had to make the list. They taste like the familiar chilled dessert in a soft bakery-style cookie. The dough uses instant banana cream pudding mix for steady flavor. And the vanilla wafer pieces add the crumbly finish people expect….

  • Banana Cream Pie

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper banana flavour in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like banana …. maybe? ”, making a Banana Cream Pie suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. A few slices tucked under plain pudding won’t do it. I want banana through the whole slice, from…

  • Banana Cake

    This is the kind of thing I wish I’d learned sooner. The first time I made it was for Thanksgiving 2020, when we couldn’t travel, and I overbaked it by almost 10 minutes. It was still the best part of dessert somehow. That’s when I realized Banana Cake is way more forgiving than most people…

  • Christmas Cookies

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper buttery flavor in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like vanilla …. maybe? ”, making festive Christmas Cookies suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. I really thought it would be simple: roll out my favorite sugar cookie dough, cut it into shapes, and…

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies

    These chocolate chip cookies are thick, dense, and absolutely packed with rich cocoa and heavy chocolate chunks. Just pile them up on a cooling rack and you’re good to go! Honestly, it’s like meeting your new best friend. You get a rich, incredibly fudgy cookie with those perfect cracked tops that make any day better….

  • Halloween Cookies

    You guys! When my mom tasted this recipe, she said…” I think that’s one of the best things you’ve ever done”! I have to say, it’s one of my top five favorites! A Saturday afternoon experiment turned into the best Halloween Cookies ever! They have the same texture as a bakery-style shortbread and peanut butter…

  • Oatmeal Cookies

    I honestly havent really shared many cookie based recipes on my blog, but this Oatmeal Cookies recipe was one I had to share. This recipe is inspired by classic home baking and it’s simple to whip up. It’s a super tasty treat packed full of hearty oats and it’s quite satisfying. If you love sweet…

  • Milkshake

    Nothing hits the spot quite like a classic milkshake on a warm afternoon. It is the ultimate nostalgic treat and it takes me right back to the old-school diner counters of my childhood. But a lot of people struggle to get that perfect texture at home. It either turns out too thick to drink or…

  • Chocolate Cake

    Last winter we were visiting my in-laws and my mother-in-law made this dessert three nights in a row because the kids kept asking for it. I must have watched her make it four times before I figured out her little secret, she whisks hot coffee into the cocoa batter right at the end instead of…

  • Pumpkin Pie

    When you’re greedy like me and want proper pumpkin flavour in every bite, not just a faint whiff of “vaguely tastes like spice …. maybe? ”, making a Pumpkin Pie suddenly becomes harder than it sounds. I really thought it would be simple: mix pumpkin puree into my favourite custard batter, pour it in, and…
