Cookie Butter Blondies by Dominick Costa

I am so in love with Cookie Butter, I want to incorporate it into everything I make for the rest of my life. Okay, maybe not, but it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I decided to mess around with my Blondies recipe, to turn them into Cookie Butter Blondies! Replacing some of the butter with Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter is how…

This pie crust is ideal for vegetarians AND vegans. Sunflower oil is used instead of lard. It has now become my goto pie crust recipe for all my pies.

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross Cookies by Salad Foodie

Peanut butter cookie recipes abound, but none of them came close to rekindling memories of the favorite from my youth - until I came across this one in an Old Farmer's Almanac. The first batch I made convinced me the recipe was the one from my early baking years. Ah - answered prayers!

Meyer Lemon Curd by Foodiewife

I have a really simple lemon curd recipe that I've made for years, using whole eggs. This lemon curd recipe uses only the egg yolk, and the whites are reserved for making meringue for Lemon Meringue Tarts (or pie). My preferred lemons are Meyer but Eureka lemons work well, too.

Pumpkin Pie Pudding by Kitchen Dreaming

I've always liked the flavor of pumpkin pie but never actually cared for the pumpkin pie itself. I'm one of those people that really does not like pie crust. Never have. So every year when my Mom was making the holiday pies, she would make me some pumpkin pie pudding with the leftover ingredients she had on hand. She'd put it into the…
