Hello, I’m Jenn! This is the first post on this website. Some might call it a blog. I’m not about to talk as much or post as many photos as bloggers do. I’m calling this my Cookbook. I’m still figuring out what I’m doing, so bear with me. I love to bake (and eat the delicious goodies). I enjoy cooking, but I don’t tend to … Continue reading My First Blog Post

These are wonderfully fluffy muffins coated in cinnamon sugar. They are great for breakfast and even better for dessert. This recipe makes about 9 muffins. I would edit it if I could to make an entire dozen, but I’m not mathematically inclined, so this is what you get. 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups flour (spooned and leveled) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 … Continue reading French Breakfast Muffins

These are the chewiest and softest cookies I’ve ever had. A trick is to take them off the cookie sheet and directly put them into a container with lid or a bag to seal in all the moisture and keep them soft. I’ve tried it with another cookie recipe and it didn’t work very well on that attempt, but for this recipe, it’s worked both … Continue reading Gingersnap Cookies
To be honest, baked donuts are almost nothing like real donuts. However, they are donut shaped and delicious and I love them. This is a great recipe that really emphasizes the pumpkin spice. There’s plenty to customize. You can sub out the oil and milk for your choice, which gives the option for Vegan donuts! You can also roll the donuts in just a cinnamon … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Donuts
These are a delicious mixture between brownies and cupcakes. They’re topped with a cocoa rich frosting and sprinkles. I made a mixture of mini and regular cupcakes and had a TON of leftover frosting. If you make mini cupcakes, I would recommend halving the frosting recipe. I’m partial to the nonpareils sprinkles, but you can use any kind or none at all. 1/2 cup unsalted … Continue reading Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
These are so tasty and filled with pumpkin spice goodness! The dough is incredibly gooey and a little annoying to work with, but if you put the dough in the fridge while a batch is baking, it hardens it up enough to work with. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 1/2 teaspoons … Continue reading Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
It’s Fall! Well, unofficially anyways. I worked for Starbucks for more than a couple years and tend to recognize Fall at the start of September, while Christmas starts the beginning of November. When in retail, it seems you’re always planning for the next Holiday. ANYWHO. These pumpkin muffins are delightful, fluffy, and full of pumpkiny goodness. The recipe is topped with a sprinkling of cinnamon … Continue reading Pumpkin Muffins
So I will admit, this was not the BEST coffee cake I’ve ever had, but it was good. Perfectly pairs with morning coffee. My favorite part about it was that I got to prep it all the night before, leave it in the fridge, then just pop it in the oven in the morning. There’s always breakfast recipes I want to make, but it seems … Continue reading Overnight Coffee Cake
Classic oatmeal cookies, what more needs to be said? These are deliciously chewy and chock full of oats. I personally love to add just a hint of nutmeg to mine. I’m not a big fan of raisins and my husband definitely hates them with a passion. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla … Continue reading Oatmeal Cookies
