I (Molly) haven’t posted a recipe to this blog since November 24. November 24!! Technically last year. I can’t believe it. Between holiday baking and holiday traveling and, well, the holidays, I haven’t actually baked anything that wasn’t a Christmas cookie or hostess gift in weeks. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. Where did the time…
Best Ever Frosted Sugar Cookies
Best Ever Frosted Sugar Cookies are thick, chewy, full of subtle vanilla flavor, positively covered in sprinkles, and the size of large bakery cookies (the only reasonable size for sugar cookies to be). Girl walks into a bakery. Girl is greeted by a case full of delectable treats of every size, shape, and kinds. Girl’s…
Basil Dark Chocolate Scones
Basil and dark chocolate are an unusual pairing, but if you brave the unexpected and taste these Basil Dark Chocolate Scones, you’ll be rewarded with a savory-sweet breakfast treat that will surprise and delight. You trust us, right? Enough that if I put the words “basil” and “dark chocolate” side by side in Basil Dark…
Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with peanut butter filling from Joy the Baker’s Homemade Decadence cookbook. Soft, chewy oatmeal cookies with smooth and creamy peanut butter frosting. Absolute perfection.

Pumpkin cupcakes? Done. Pumpkin chapstick? Probably done, but probably not too tasty. But we keep wanting more…more and more and more, so much more…
Pumpkin Mocha Cupcakes
These Pumpkin Mocha Cupcakes are not to be confused with pumpkin spice latte cupcakes. We’re turning the classic PSL cupcake formula inside out. Moist chocolate cupcakes (think Devil’s Food) are filled with a pumpkin ganache, then topped with coffee buttercream. These are not Pumpkin Spice Latte cupcakes. You’ve seen a hundred of those, flooding Pinterest…
Pumpkin Overnight Oats
We’ve been patient, haven’t we? Starbucks has been out there with their PSL’s since August, trying to cajole us into jumping the gun on pumpkin season by offering frozen frappuccino PSL’s designed to trick our tastebuds into thinking pumpkin is actually appropriate for 80-degree weather. (It’s not, get your head in the game.) But we…
Brownie Doctor: Brown Butter Frosting Brownies
One of Audrey and my favorite shows is Parks and Recreation. (Fitting since we’re from Indiana, where the show takes place!) Two of the characters in the show spend one day every year treating themselves. They treat themselves to mimosas, massages, shopping, cupcakes… If you spend much time on the Internet, you’ve probably encountered their…
