Espresso Brownie Cookies
Happy 1st weekend of 2019. I cannot believe it is already almost a week into this new year. To celebrate making it through the week I made these Espresso Brownie Cookies. Now I know they are not KETO, but they are pretty amazing and a perfect treat before I jump back on the KETO train next week. Brownies or Cookies? Do you ever have a hard time deciding between a brownie or a cookie? Yes? No? Well I do…except not anymore. This cookie/brownie is everything you love about both in one quick recipe. They are fudgy, rich and super chocolaty with a hint of espresso in each bite. …

Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Shortbread
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE shortbread. Anytime there is a shortbread option on a cookie platter that is the one I go for first. There is just something so decadent in each buttery bite. So much yummy I am a happy girl with just a plain shortbread (like this one), but for the Holidays I decided to amp it up a bit with a little extra something. To start with I wanted a little something tart and pretty so I added in one of my favorite holiday tasted, dried cranberries. Next for a little crunch I went with another favorite, pistachio’s. I love how they taste and how they look,…

Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies
I have a new favorite cookie… Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies! Trust me… you will LOVE them! The perfect blend The cookie itself is quite sweet, especially with the course sugar, but the pumpkin-butter buttercream is the perfect balance. It is just a little sweet with a good bit of spice making each bite the perfect balance. If you are planning on just eating the cookies and not making them into sandwich cookies you could leave off the sugar until right when you bring them out of the oven. That way the sugar is just on the top and not on all sides. Sugar options When I roll cookies in…

Pumpkin-Butter Buttercream
The Holidays call for 2 things in my book… pumpkin and buttercream. One of my favorite pumpkin treats is Trader Joes Pumpkin Butter. It is a little sweet with a little spice making it AMAZING! When you add it to this buttercream recipe it is AMAZING! Not your normal filling I love a good sandwich cookie with a good filling. I love the richness and creaminess it brings to anything and everything you add it to. Most of the time buttercream is used on cakes and cupcakes, but this time I used it as the filling for my new favorite cookie. Yes cookie my Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies. If…

Keto Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin anything is my downfall, but a really great pumpkin bread is my MOST FAVORITE fall treat. Time for Pumpkin, people I love to use pumpkin in baking. It adds so much moisture to cakes and breads without a lot of extra fats, carbs or calories. I even add it to my coffee sometimes for a little extra creaminess and something special….my own homemade PSL. For this recipe pumpkin is the star and it helps to create one of the best pumpkin breads I have EVER had. A little extra crunch To add a little something extra to this amazing pumpkin bread I topped it with spiced walnuts. Yes,…
