Black Bottom Cup Cakes
These are a family favorite. Delicious cup cakes with creamy chocolaty filling. Top them with frosting or powdered sugar.
Unbaked Chocolate Cookies
This is a classic around the holidays. Fast, easy, and a bit healthier than most we make it for many Holidays. Overtime we've tweaked the recipe. Peanut butter is a great addition, but not necessary. Kids love them, they don't need to know they're getting healthy oats in their cookies.
Peanut Butter Cookies
Tasty peanut butter cookies.
Mrs. Orrs Chocolate Cake
This flavorful cake is chunkier than a standard cake while still maintaining a fluffy fullness that puts it firmly in the cake category. We love it with chocolate frosting to double down on what makes it great.
Gingersnaps
These tasty, soft gingerbread like cookies are a family favorite.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
This rich desert is one of the best examples of the combination of Chocolate and Peanut Butter. It's rich, filling, and magical.
Harring Kaka
This was a strange recipe we found while going through an old collection. It seems to be similar to Swedish Tunnbröd or Norwegian Flatbrød.
Swedish Gingerbread Cookies (Pepparkakor)
Pepparkakor are traditional Swedish gingerbread cookies, often associated with the Christmas season. They are thin, crisp, and typically cut into various shapes such as hearts, stars, or pigs. This recipe is a family recipe from my neighbor. The dough is flavored with spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sometimes cardamom, giving them a warm, aromatic taste. Pepparkakor are usually decorated with white icing or sugar glaze, adding a sweet contrast to their spicy flavor. The recipe makes a large batch so consider slimming it down if you don't need as much.
