Swirls! Hard to believe, but as many pound and bundt cakes as I have baked, and I have never done swirls! They actually intimidate me a little, so I was torn between happiness and trepidation when the Bundt A Month crew announced “Swirled” as the theme for June. My first attempt as a matter of…
Double Chocolate Chip and Cappuccino Crunch Cookies
I feel kind of like a cheat, sharing these right after the Snickers Cookies, but I made them both for the same canceled picnic and they were both too good not to share.
