Dessert Recipes

My kids all love carrot cakes. This time made these carrots cookies, and they loved them so much. I will make these cookies very often from now on.

Carrot cake with a chocolatey twist: cocoa powder, chocolate chips, warm spices, and shredded carrots all in one batter, topped with cream cheese frosting. Moist, spiced, and packed with surprises in every bite.

Chocolate cream pie cooks a silky cocoa-egg yolk custard on the stove, pours it into a baked shell, and crowns it with billowy meringue. Old-school Southern dessert classic.

Old-fashioned chocolate potato cake with riced potatoes folded into the batter for incredible moisture. Layered with whipped cream and smothered in chocolate frosting.

Snowball cookies made with butter, ground nuts, vanilla, and flour, then rolled in powdered sugar while warm. A classic melt-in-your-mouth holiday cookie.

Fudgy brownie batter baked in a chocolate wafer crust, frosted with warm chocolate ganache, and crowned with glossy cherry pie filling. All the Black Forest flavors packed into one intensely chocolatey pie.

Maple-walnut pound cake baked in a tube pan with a cinnamon-walnut streusel layer through the middle and on top. Dense, buttery, and loaded with maple and brown sugar flavor.

Persimmon cream pie with a custard of egg yolks, cream, and ripe persimmon pulp, crowned with a sticky pecan praline crumble. The fruit must be jelly-soft for the right honeyed flavor.

The dark molasses and all the spices made this sensational gingerbread, and everyone at the dinner table raved about how yummy it came out. Great recipe.

Pumpkin orange cake: moist sheet cake with canned pumpkin, orange juice concentrate, and zest, finished with a citrus glaze. Fall flavors with a bright twist on standard pumpkin spice.

Morrison's mace cake: a classic hot-milk sponge cake fragrant with warm mace, finished with a crackly mace-sugar topping that bakes into the surface. Old-fashioned Southern coffee cake at its most aromatic.

Black Forest oatmeal cookies with white and semi-sweet chocolate chunks, maraschino cherries, toasted almonds, and almond extract. A bakery-style drop cookie.

Peach upside-down cake with a spiced gingerbread batter over brown sugar-glazed peach halves and cherries. A warmly spiced twist on the classic upside-down cake.

Caramel apple cookies are buttery shortbread balls on toothpick sticks, dipped in melted caramel with apple juice concentrate, and pressed into chopped walnuts. Miniature caramel apple treats.

Lily cookies: cream cheese pastry rounds folded around a jelly center and dusted with powdered sugar. Old-school holiday cookies shaped like opening lilies.

A lighter, golden fruitcake with apricots, golden raisins, candied orange peel, and walnuts in a buttery brandy batter. Baked in decorative molds for a gorgeous holiday centerpiece.
