📌 My top tips for baking picture-perfect cookies:

1. Use a Cookie Scoop - I always use a cookie scoop so that my balls of cookie dough are equally sized. This helps them to bake evenly, and their uniform size makes them perfect for stacking.

2. Swirl Cookies Inside a Round Cookie Cutter - Immediately after pulling a tray of cookies out of the oven, I swirl a round metal cookie cutter around each cookie to rein in any misshapen edges.

I learned this “cookie-scooting” tip from Erin Erin Clarkson years ago, and it’s such a game changer!

3. Add Extra Mix-Ins On Top - Most of the mix-ins (like chocolate chips) will end up inside the cookie, so I press a few extra on top right after baking and swirling the cookies, when they’re still hot and soft. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top adds a beautiful touch, too!

I’m never not craving this chocolate cake. And honestly, it’s dangerous how easy it is to make!

This super simple, one-bowl chocolate is perfectly moist with a deep, rich chocolate flavor that tastes 100x times more delicious than boxed cake.

And don’t even get me started on that chocolate ganache buttercream! 😋

🫐 Comment “RECIPE” and I’ll send ALL of my favorite blueberry recipes to your DMs!

Oats are one of my favorite ingredients to bake with because they help to make cookies and bars extra chewy!

These soft and chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bars are packed with peanut butter, stuffed with a layer of chocolate, studded with chocolate chips, and sprinkled with salt. In short, they’re ✨ divine ✨

The small batch recipe makes just 8 bars and is baked in a loaf pan. This was honestly a mistake on my part, because these bars are so delicious that 8 are never enough! Just do yourself a favor and double the recipe and bake it in an 8x8 😉

There’s lots of ways to make blueberry muffins, but this one’s the absolute best!

Comment “RECIPE” and I’ll send it right to your DMs!

These soft and moist muffins are packed with fresh berries and flavored with a hint of cinnamon, and their perfectly domed tops are studded with sweet cinnamon streusel.

Best of all, you mix the batter the night before and bake it in the morning, so there’s no need to wake up early to enjoy the most delicious blueberry muffins for breakfast!
