Espresso Kahlua Bundt Cake is a stunning cake with a swirled glaze that can be enjoyed for breakfast, tea time or after a luxurious dinner. Bake it in a heart pan and you have a Valentine’s Day dessert also! I apologize for the silence–a nasty respiratory virus is making its way through my family, and…
Italian Chifferi Cookies with Espresso and Cinnamon-Sugar
Italian Chifferi Cookies with Espresso and Cinnamon-Sugar are a sophisticated and delicious twist on crescent cookies. They are perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges and Holiday cookie tins! The minute I saw these Italian Chifferi Cookies I knew I was making them. Actually, if I am honest, I felt that way about these cookies and another one in…
Café au Lait Bars: #CreativeCookieExchange
Café au Lait Bars are the little black dress of cookies: there is no occasion these would not be perfect for. Everyone adored these. Affiliate links have been used in this post to link to items I am discussing. Have you ever promised a dish (or dessert) to someone (a potluck, your husband’s students, the…
Espresso White Chocolate Chunk Cookies: #ChocolateParty
I have decided to try both watermarking all of my photos and titling the occasional photo. I am not sure yet that I am sold on either–I would love to hear your opinion! Is the small watermark in the lower left corner distracting to you? What about the title across the top of the photo…
#Bundtamonth: Espresso Swirled Bundt Cake

But this has been a hell of a winter for germs, and as long time readers know, I am the original germ magnet. Why is that relevant? Because baking is fun, relaxing,…
Espresso Hazelnut Lace Cookies
I am so sorry I did not get this post to you in time for Christmas cookies. I made the plain hazelnut version with my mom, sent two thirds home with her (she and my dad love these cookies) and I kept one third, figuring I would photograph them in a day or two.
Espresso Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot
The sad truth is that I have published this recipe before. The even sadder truth is that I published it without photos, and that has bothered me so much to this day that I finally could not stand it any more, and decided to re-publish it. Since I have made these cookies every single Christmas…
Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows
Creamy Cappuccino Marshmallows are the best marshmallows I have ever tried for eating out of hand. They are a perfect festive treat to add to your holiday cookie tins! [Note: I updated the photos in December 2016.] I would not normally post such a similar recipe so close to the previous similar recipe. This is…
