Biscoff Cinnamon Twists
My daughter is obsessed with all things Biscoff, and she's an even bigger fan of those cinnamon roll bites from Auntie Anne's at the mall. So naturally, I had to find a way to bring her two favorites together! These soft, gooey cinnamon roll twists are a fun little twist (pun intended!) on my classic cinnamon roll recipe, filled with cookie butter cream and cinnamon sugar, then finished with a cookie butter cream cheese icing and crumbled Biscoff cookies. If you're a fan of c


Sweet Potato Pun Rolls
If there's one thing you can count on at our family's Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, it's my grandmother Dear's Sweet Potato Pun. Think crustless sweet potato pie, but sweeter! It's a family tradition that everyone makes (you can find the recipe in my cookbook, A Touch of Jazz). While it rarely makes it to the leftover pile, I had a feeling it would make the perfect filling for a praline-inspired sticky bun. Enter Operation Hide the Leftovers, lol! I hid a little in


Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups
I discovered cookie cups last year on Instagram, and I've found you can take just about any family favorite dessert and turn it into these perfect little bites.

If you're not a baker or you just love a simple dessert, you're going to love this idea


Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is what happens when your son is obsessed with all things cookies & cream. And I do mean all things—from cookies & cream ice cream to milkshakes and cake. I think I have more cookies & cream-based recipes than anything else. I will say, this one was a challenge because I was determined to infuse as much Oreo flavor as possible into these rolls while still making sure they tasted like cinnamon rolls. The result? A soft, fluffy roll with crushed Oreos in the dough,


Biscoff Icebox Cake
There’s just something about an ice box cake that feels nostalgic and comforting, and this Biscoff version takes that feeling to a whole new level. Layers of creamy whipped filling, rich Biscoff spread, and softened cookies come together into a frozen dessert that tastes like a cross between cheesecake, cookie butter ice cream, and the best homemade pudding cake all in one. It’s rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with that warm spiced cookie flavor in every bite.


Old-Fashioned Southern Peach Cobbler
My granny made the kind of peach cobbler that you spend your whole life trying to replicate.

This old-fashioned Southern peach cobbler starts with a sweet, buttery peach filling made with frozen peaches,
