chocolate and almond whipped shortbread

By Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I love whipped shortbread cookies.  Easy and fast, they are a staple for any occasion. They are even great to give to little kids to decorate, keeping them entertained for some time. 

The addition of chocolate and nuts make these shortbread even more of a favorite.  This recipe can be found in Club Club’s Community Cookbook.

Baking continues with one of my favorites, whipped shortbread cookies. I’ve been making this recipe for years and can’t remember where it comes from.  It’s a simple recipe with only 3 ingredients!  Whipping the dough for 10 minutes makes it light and fluffy and the buttery cookies just melt in your mouth.  These cookies went fast and I know we’ll be making a couple more batches before the year is done.

Nutella Latte

Nutella lovers rejoice! This Nutella latte is super easy to make at home. Cozy up with a cup and a good book and you have the perfect day.

Snow in September. Living in Alberta, this is definitely nothing to be surprised about. Snow in the summer, chinooks in the winter – it’s what we deal with every year. But, with the beautiful hot weather we had this summer, I didn’t think the snow would come so soon.

My love for Nutella is no secret. It’s delicious in brownies, ice cream, cookies….and lattes! This cozy drink is super easy to make.

No-Bake Lavender Cheesecake

By 3 Comments

If I had to choose a dessert that was simple but looked like it had taken work, it would be a no-bake cheesecake. It’s surprising how easy they are to whip together but the minute you say cheesecake, people think that you put a lot of effort into making it. This no-bake lavender cheesecake is no exception.

I love the holidays! The lights, the gatherings, Santa…and the baking! It’s the season for butter tarts, chocolates and cookies. Lots of cookies.

These candy cane kissed chocolate chip cookies take a tried and true recipe doctored up a bit for the season . Holiday chips, in red, white and green with a slight minty taste, are added to the batter with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Candy Cane Kisses adorn the tops of the cookies once they come out of the oven. A classic with a holiday spin.
