Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

There is no dessert more classic than a traditional chocolate chip cookie. When many of us feel a sweet tooth coming on, these are our go to’s since they are easy to whip up and require few specialty ingredients! Plus everyone likes them, so if you are having guests over and looking for a quick and easy dessert, chocolate chip cookies tend to be an easy answer!

However, sometimes you want to serve something a little bit more special to your guests but still want to keep the convenience and tasty factor of this favorite treat! What do you do?!

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Da dada daaaaa! I present to you the Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie! These delicious chocolate chip cookies are baked in a skillet and taste just like your favorite pizookie from BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse! Plus, they are just as easy to make as traditional chocolate chip cookies, but look way more festive and creative! Cut it into pie shaped pieces and scoop some ice cream on top and you have yourself the perfect, super simple and guest-ready dessert!

I love including this dessert as part of a chili bar or backyard campout or BBQ, but they are excellent for any type of casual gathering and can feed up to 10 people!

Enjoy!

When most people think about Valentine’s Day they think about lots of sweet treats, candy, and beautiful flowers and roses! If you want all that Valentine-y greatness packed into one exquisite recipe, this is the post for you!

I present to you the Apple Rose Tart!

They’re little roses, they’re scrumptiously sweet, and I just so happen to LOVE them! It’s got everything you could possibly want this time of year. (And every other time of the year, but let’s stay topical here).

With Mardi Gras right around the corner, it’s time to bring out all of our favorite Creole and Cajun recipes! Of course, my favorite dish at any party is dessert, so my mind goes straight to a traditional King Cake, which is the perfect way to top off any Mardi Gras celebration!

This coffee-cake like confection is a popular custom and is adorned in purple, green, and gold sprinkles and shaped like a ring. Traditionally, the King Cake started off as a simple ring of dough, but has since evolved to include a variety of different fillings. Each cake has a tiny plastic or porcelain baby hidden inside and the person who gets the slice with the baby in it hosts the next party! Of course, I am always scoping out the cake looking for the baby! Any excuse to host a party is always welcome!

Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Flatbread Bites - The Everyday Hostess

A good ol’ fashioned apple crisp always makes for a perfect holiday dessert. It is festive, warm, and when served with your favorite vanilla bean ice cream, it’s the perfect comforting treat!

I have been trying to find a convenient and easy way to serve apple crisp at holiday parties; however, unless you are hosting a sit down meal, it’s hard for people to eat it while mixing and mingling.

I’ve tried serving it on small plates, bowls, and even shot glasses like I do for tomato soup; however, that was still messy. I started playing around with some different options, and came up with the perfect solution!

Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Flatbread! By combining the apple crisp with this fresh and delicious naan from Stonefire, you can cut it into bite size pieces that guests can easily place on a napkin and continue snacking and visiting! The perfect spin on a traditional dish!

Peppermint Brownie Cookies - The Everyday Hostess

How festive are these Peppermint Brownie Cookies?! They taste like giant frosted peppermint patties! What could be better and more perfect for the Christmas season?!

I recently made these cookies as part of the 5th Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. Over 475 people in 6 countries participated in the cookie swap which raised money Cookie’s for Kid’s Cancer. We all were tasked with making three dozen tasty holiday cookies and shipping them around the country to three other food bloggers. I have to admit, there was a little extra pressure when deciding what type of cookies to send. I mean, how intimidating is it to send baked goods to food bloggers?! Baking is their job! So I wanted to make sure my cookies would stand out and were not just a basic run of the mill Christmas cookie that already filled their kitchens.

Peppermint Brownie Cookies with Frosting

Caramel apples are one of my absolute favorite desserts this time of year. I love incorporating them into my parties, but they can be so difficult to serve and just aren’t the most graceful things to eat! I am always struggling with how to bite into them or how to cut them and sometimes it just isn’t worth the hassle!

These Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes are the solution and are the perfect little treat for your holiday gathering this year. They pack in all of the tastiness of a caramel apple without all the stickiness on your hands and caramel stuck in your teeth! They are absolutely delicious and always a crowd pleaser. Especially for all those cheesecake lovers out there like myself!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with a Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

When planning my dessert menu for a party, I almost always include cupcakes. Cupcakes are the perfect dessert for any party because they are so simple to customize. You can easily tailor the cupcake toppers to match the theme and formality of the event, plus with the wide variety of frosting and cake batter recipes there are to choose from, you are sure to find a combination that will suit everyone’s taste preferences!

I recently made these delicious Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with a Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting for a fall party that I hosted at The T Shop, and they were an absolute hit!

Okay all my dessert lovers out there! Is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter?! I love all sweets, almost to a fault, but I cannot think of a better combination than chocolate and peanut butter!

These Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes are the epitome of indulgent and are everything I look for in a dessert wrapped into one! The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are baked into the center of the chocolate cake and topped with a light and fluffy peanut butter frosting that just melts in your mouth. I am starting to crave them just writing about them! They are literally the BEST cupcakes ever!

It is finally fall! Well at least in most parts of the country! Here in Dallas, we are still sitting around 90 degrees, but I am doing everything I can to get in the spirit of the season. Since I can’t start pulling out all of my sweaters, scarves, or boots yet, I am going through all of my fall recipes and filling my home with the aromas of autumn, starting with these absolutely delicious cream cheese-filled pumpkin muffins!

What says fall more like pumpkin spice?! I started making these muffins last fall and they quickly became a staple in my household! All summer, my boyfriend and I have been counting down the days until we could break out this recipe again. The pumpkin spice paired with sweetened cream cheese filling and cinnamon streusel topping make these the perfect treat for a fun autumn afternoon bite or a sweet morning breakfast.
