The best chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. Nothing out of place, just a simple exceptionally delicious cookie that turns out utterly perfect every time.

This super fruity and moist cake is absolutely divine. It's a great coffee or tea cake. I had it for breakfast with my morning coffee for a few days, perfect. Made with mostly whole wheat flour and applesauce, not loaded with sugar, so it's much healthier than your regular coffee cake, that's why it's also a great breakfast to start off your day.

Another delicious cake recipe from my Norway friend: Here in Norway, the cake has both names, but the official name is success, cake!

These buttery shortbreads melt in your mouth. Honey lends the delicious sweetness to these shortbreads, and pecans add yummy nuttiness.
