Petit Fours
These little dessert bites are the perfect way to celebrate any special occasion (I made these for Mother’s Day this past weekend). I started with my Italian Rainbow cookie recipe.

Hot Chocolate Bombs
These chocolate bomb treats have been all over the internet for a while now, and I knew I wanted to make a “how to” video with my son David. We have made a few videos in the past, and we always have so much fun being together in the kitchen.

Eggnog Frosted Snickerdoodles
These cookies were inspired by Tieghan Gerard @halfbakedharvest. My daughter Melissa loves snickerdoodles. These are not your every day, run of the mill snickerdoodles. They are sliced and baked, and then frosted with a luscious eggnog frosting, then sprinkled with more cinnamon sugar. Do I have your attention?!!
