Posted on May 20, 2013
Rich pound cake layers with delicious fluffy frosting and a rich whipped chocolate ganache. I don’t know what it is, but when I travel for a weekend, I always have a million different bags. Maybe I just should take 1 big bag and call it a day? I just try so hard to be an…

Posted on May 18, 2013
I always find it interesting how excited I am for the weekend despite having to work during some or all of it. I think it is years of that TGIF mentality ingrained in my head. Plus, it is a usually more relaxed “working” weekend and involves fun things like a dinner at Talde with friends! …

Yes, you are at the right place. This is still Keep It Sweet Desserts and I still prioritize baking over any savory production in the kitchen, but sometimes I need to get a little creative with mealtime. In case you are wondering, I’m still working off the cookie weight (as I like to call it)…

Posted on April 20, 2013
These peanut butter cookies are thick and chewy (like most cookies should be), sweet and salty, and absolutely delicious. Last week was…. well, it sure was a week.

Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate Chips & Strawberry Buttercream
Posted on April 13, 2013
This recipe came about while I was testing out ideas for an upcoming Cookie of the Month, and wondering how I could brighten up the resulting flat and not so exciting lemon cookies. Don't let me fool you, the lemon cookies actually taste quite good on their own- they are chewy and delightfully lemon flavored (not…
