Four tasty cookie recipes that are perfect for the holiday season. One of the recipes is a no-bake cookie and two of the recipes only have three ingredients. It doesn’t get better than that! Warning if you don’t like chocolate these cookies are not for you. Bonus – if you sign up directly below you can get the combined grocery list of all four kinds of Christmas cookies.
It should be obvious by now that I have a major sweet tooth. As I was grocery shopping last week I spotted that Ben & Jerry’s has re-released one of my favorite flavors, One Love. Banana ice cream with caramel and graham cracker swirls in it, I mean come on. One pint of this delicious flavor combo was not enough!
Banoffee pie to the rescue. A pie that is not very popular in the U.S. but I happen to love it. This no-bake pie has a graham cracker crust, a layer of sliced bananas, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and toffee bits. Why don’t I make this dessert more often? Probably because I’m too busy making even more desserts.
With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to attempt a dessert that would blow the socks off friends and family. The piecaken to the rescue!! Similar to the turducken, a piecaken is made by baking a pie inside a cake – creating the best of both worlds.
I have attempted this recipe twice. The first trial was a miserable failure, the second pretty good. With a third attempt, I’m sure my recipe would be perfected but I wanted to get these instructions to you in case you wanted to give it a try for this Thanksgiving. Below I’ll fill you in on my tips and tricks for creating a piecaken, as well include some cheater versions that will save you a lot of time. I’ve included the recipe I made up but please note it is not perfected yet but I do explain what I would do to improve it. Happy baking!
