Dessert for Two: Small Batch Cookies, Brownies, Pies and Cakes by Christina Lane
Christina has been my friend for a few years now so it’s been especially wonderful to see the success BOTH of her cookbooks. Her first cookbook, Dessert for Two, is a great go-to for those days when you have a sweet tooth but don’t want to go too crazy. You can find the recipe for her small batch chocolate chip cookies here.
The Sweetapolita Bakebook: 75 Fanciful Cakes, Cookies & More to Make & Decorate by Rosie Alyea
If you’ve visited her blog, it’s quite that Rosie is incredibly talented. I’ve been following her creations for years and was very excited when the Sweetapolita Bakebook was available. There are so many recipes I’ve bookmarked to make. The funfetti cupcakes were a massive hit at L’s birthday party. BONUS: Rosie offered to send a signed cookbook to the winner!
Sea Salt Sweet: The Art of Using Salts for the Ultimate Dessert Experience by Heather Baird
I absolutely adore Heather. You can just tell from her blog that she is a good person. What I admire most about her is the true artistry behind all of her creations. Everything is so beautifully put together in appearance as well as flavors and textures. Her second cookbook, Sea Salt Sweet excited me because of my obsession with sweet and salty desserts. I’ve bookmarked several items to make in the near future!
Something Sweet: Desserts, Baked Goods, and Treats for Every Occasion by Miriam Pascal
Miriam’s cookbook has a vast selection of sweet treats in her cookbook. From these oatmeal cookie wedges, to the fruity pebble cookies, there’s something for everyone. Most recipes also have dairy-free options making them perfect for someone with a dairy allergy or who might keep Kosher.
Quick-Shop-&-Prep 5 Ingredient Baking: Cookies, Cakes, Bars & More that are Easier than Ever to Make by Jennifer McHenry
Jennifer’s cookbook is a great creative use of pantry ingredients. There are so many dessert variations she has for you with a basic few and then even more when you add one, two, three, four or five more ingredients to that list. I still think about the peanut butter snack cake I made a couple of months ago.
Quick bread Love: 30+ Easy, Tasty Recipes for Loaves, Muffins and Biscuits by Stephanie Wise
There’s nothing more comforting than baking something simple that tastes so good. Stephanie’s e-book has a variety of recipes just like that. From no-yeast cinnamon rolls to triple chocolate buttermilk bread, her cookbook has a lot to offer. And if you’ve been to her blog, you know that the photos will be beautiful and the recipes delicious.
Dinner for Two: Easy and Innovative Recipes for One, Two, or a Few by Julie Wampler
I had to throw one savory cookbook into the mix! And lucky for me, Julie was smart enough to include some sweet breakfast for dinner options as well. This cookbook is perfect for weeknight cooking at home. Her pancakes were a big hit in our house!

I wanna win this giveaway
Aw man, I barely missed the cutoff! Too bad, these cookbooks all look great. I’ll have to keep them on my list :)
Just looking at the books makes me hungry! If I had to choose, I’d probably go with something sweet. Would one like that be good for someone that doesn’t know a whole lot about cooking?
