Hello, I’m a day early this week! Hoping I get to get on your to-bake list just in time ;-)

Turtle Cookies

A double chocolate chip cookie studded with pecans and chocolate chunks, stuffed with a salted caramel and drizzled with dark chocolate. My take on a ‘turtle’ (even though it no longer looks like an actual turtle lool).

Zebra Cookies (Black Cocoa & Vanilla Sugar Cookies)

Short-bread like sugar cookies made with half vanilla and half black cocoa dough for a striking, striped pattern. I added step-by-step photos and an easier method to make them.

buttermilk’s best

Brown Butter Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls

The most popular roll recipe on my site (and probably an all time top 5 recipe): tangzhong & buttermilk dough, a heavy cream bath, and a brown butter filling that caramelizes in the oven. Top ‘em with a brown butter cream cheese frosting and it’s 100x better than that …bon place.

(p.s. as cute as this pic is, these have over-proofed 😬)

a 2022 favorite

Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls

Milk bread dough (as always!) and a cinnamon chocolate filling made from both cocoa and dark chocolate. The heavy cream bath is there for gooeyiness and you have the option of a chocolate or vanilla glaze.

but also if you have the muscle

Croissant Cinnamon Rolls

Took my brown butter cinnamon rolls and laminated the dough a few times so you get this amazing crossover between a croissant and a cinnamon roll. It may look intimidating but it’s very do-able.

Baklava Cheesecake

I’ve bombarded all my social channels with this one this week so apologies if you’re tired of seeing it… but it’s slightly complicated process that leads to something exquisite and it deserves all the love! Twenty layers of phyllo and two layers of nuts make up the crust. The filling: a standard but perfect creamy vanilla cheesecake.

reader review =)

on Cranberry Curd Tart :

“This tart is SO. GOOD. Tangy and sweet, with a nice hit of cinnamon from the whipped cream and the crust. It’s a bit time consuming, but worth every second. Will definitely make again.” - Valerie

one note

I just want to say, if you celebrate it, have an absolutely merry and happy christmas. And if you don’t, I hope you have a wonderful, warm few days off, cozied up with good food, movies and loved ones.
