That’s right— I said “never making them again” 😵💫
CONFESSION: I absolutely despise dipping/covering/decorating anything with chocolate. I also despise cut-out cookies. Not just decorating them. But. Like. Also rolling and cutting them.
There. I said it 😅
If you ever see one of these recipes on my site… Recognize how much I love you.

Listen, I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. Toll House set us up with a solid foundation. Truly! 🥲
But the Fresh April Flours version that I’ve perfected over the last decade+ has gotten reviews like these ones that just came in over the last month:
🍪 “No joke… these are the BEST. I have faithfully stuck to a different variation of the tollhouse recipe up until now, but I will only be using this recipe going forward. Followed all of the steps to a tee and these are genuinely the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had in my life!!”
🍪 “Hands down. These are truly the best chocolate chip cookies!!! Absolutely delicious every time.”
🍪 “I’ve baked a lot of chocolate chip cookies and love trying new recipes. Made these last night and they are the best chocolate chip cookie I think I’ve made.”
🍪 “The BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve found. I’ve been looking for years for a recipe that turns out like these – they are SO good. The recipe is easy and consistent, they turn out delicious every single time.”
What’s different, you ask? Melted butter instead of softened, one less egg white, more brown sugar, a little cornstarch, and my signature combo of milk + semi-sweet chocolate chips make for a cookie that will win you over in a heartbeat, I guarantee it! 🙌

With nearly a decade of social proof, hundreds of positive collective reviews, and readers who come back to the OG cake recipe again and again, THIS is the from-scratch strawberry cake you didn’t know you needed 👀
If you want real strawberry flavor (not gelatin vibes), this is where you need to start— one fresh-strawberry base that works as a layer cake, cupcakes, a sheet cake, and a Bundt 🎂🧁
I fold REAL strawberries into the batter so the flavor actually tastes like fruit 💕
Here are some reviews from all 4 forms of this cake:
⭐️ “I’ve spent years trying recipes from the internet and a lot of them are wrong in so many ways, but this is one I’ll be using for many years ahead.”
⭐️ “The most flavorful strawberry cupcakes I’ve ever tasted! So moist and fresh!”
⭐️ “The best scratch cake I have ever made.”
⭐️ “Absolutely fabulous cake! So moist and light that I could hardly believe it!”
Save this for a rainy day, share it with someone who wants to become a better baker in 2026, and follow along for from-scratch baking that actually works 🧑🍳

This was the FIRST year for my Bake Along, and y’all absolutely crushed it. We made angel food cake, pull apart bread, homemade marshmallows, Swiss meringue buttercream… To name just a FEW! 😅
This also means that you, collectively, won $1200 for just showing up and giving yourself a challenge to bake about. What a feat! 🤩
I’m so proud of every single one of you who joined in the monthly challenge, stretched your baking skills, and trusted me to guide you in each creation. I hope you’re really proud of yourselves, too 🥹
While these particular Bake Alongs are done, 2026 brings a whole new set of “I thought I only ever got this at the store” things. We’ve got cinnamon raisin swirl bread, cakes, pie, and ice cream sandwiches on the lineup this year, and I’m SO excited to help you break out of your baking comfort zone once again 🧑🍳
January’s #fafbakealong will be live on January 5th— I can’t wait to see you then! 👋

If you’re new here: hi, I mostly make cookies and cakes 😝
But I’m also a baker who knows when the vibes call for ✨pizza bread✨ instead of another decision to make.
This pull-apart pizza bread is what I make when cookies feel wrong but cooking feels worse 😵💫

Once you reverse cream once, you might never go back…
Ok, but real talk, reverse creaming is NOT something you should just do willy nilly. It’s not appropriate for every cake batter, but if you struggle with layer cakes, I encourage you to start here.
⭐️ Reverse creaming is the method you didn’t know you needed:
➡️ Instead of the usual butter-sugar creaming routine, reverse creaming has you mix your dry ingredients (yes, even the sugar!) with softened butter first, then bring in the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, extract) later. The result? A cake that’s tender, velvety, and— MY FAV— nice and level.
⭐️ But… Why bother?
1️⃣ A tender cake: the butter coats the flour before liquids come into play, which means less gluten development (read: softer cake).
2️⃣ Flatter layers: say goodbye to cake domes that need to be leveled! Reverse creaming keeps things nice and even, which means your layers are already perfect for stacking and frosting.
3️⃣ Moist and velvety texture: since fat is evenly distributed, you end up with a cake that’s soft and rich without being dry.
⭐️ When you’ll see it used most often:
➡️ This method shines in cakes where texture really matters. Think layer cakes, pound cakes, and cupcakes that need a delicate, even crumb. If you’re after bakery-level softness without bakery-level effort, reverse creaming is your new best friend.
This is the method I use in my basic white cake (what you see here) which is the cake base I use for more than a dozen cake recipes on my site. It’s reliable, delicious, and I’m never NOT using it to create new cake recipes for you 🫶
In fact, here’s a 5-star review from reader Katja:
“Love this white cake recipe. I’ve made some before with mediocre results and this one was just so wonderfully moist and yummy. The reverse creaming method was so simple and made quick work of making the batter! It was ideal for coloring cake layers with gel food coloring and I’ll definitely use this recipe again.”

This may be my new favorite twist on a classic 🥰
And here’s the thing every cinnamon roll girlie needs to know— not every batch of cinnamon rolls needs to yield 12.
In fact, just about ALL of the cinnamon roll recipes on my site are small batch, which yields just 6. And doubling it If needed? Super simple math, and I have information in each post about what that looks like ☺️
Seriously, once you taste that chai-spiced cream cheese frosting, you’ll never go back to plain cinnamon again 🫖

THIS is the chocolate chip cookie recipe you didn’t know you needed 👀
If you want a chocolate chip cookie that WOWs, you need to step away from the recipe on the back of the bag.
Is mine a WHOLE lot different? No. Of course not. They’re chocolate chip cookies 😂
But check out some of the reviews that came in just this baking season if you don’t believe just a few simple swaps can make a gigantic difference…
🍪 “I’ve baked a lot of chocolate chip cookies and love trying new recipes. Made these last night and they are the best chocolate chip cookie I think I’ve made.” —Jay
🍪 “Hands down. These are truly the best chocolate chip cookies!!! Absolutely delicious every time.” —Sheila
🍪 “I am by no means a baker baking is actually super scary to me having to be so perfect with measuring. I made these with my daughters the other day and can I just say these are by far the best cookies! They’re almost gone, and this is only day two.” —Dianna

Some years don’t ask permission before they change you 😮💨
This one held a lot of grief for me. But also a lot of joy. Aaaaaand some very strange, very human moments in between 🤪
If today feels heavy for you, I want you to know that’s allowed. You don’t have to be grateful through it. You don’t have to wrap it in a bow just because it’s Christmas🎄
I share baked goods here for a living, but I’m a real person behind the camera 📸
I really miss my dad. I still cry in grocery stores or in the middle of workouts because that’s when my mind is still and the grief pops in to remind me it’s still there and very fresh.
I also laugh a lot, fuel my body with things that make it feel good, and think about that ravioli more than is reasonable 😍😍😍
You’re welcome here whether you’re baking to celebrate a promotion, distract yourself from postpartum anxiety, mark a milestone, or get through a day where missing someone feels louder than everything else.
Sometimes making something with your hands is the closest thing to breathing you can manage… And that counts 🫶
I’m not going anywhere. In 2026, I’ll still be here sharing real recipes from my kitchen to yours, in a very real world that keeps trying to bury real people under noise. If you’re still standing, still trying, still showing up… There’s a seat for you in my corner of the internet 🤍
All that said, I wish you a gentle Christmas, a soft New Year, and permission to release yourself from guilt if the close of this year feels messy, unfinished, or heavy.
You’re not behind— you’re human 💕

That’s a wrap on my 12 installments of #fafrollofthemonth, a series I do every year with a recipe a month on a theme 🗓️
This year was cinnamon rolls where every recipe was based on my go-to soft & fluffy traditional cinnamon roll recipe that’s beed tested and perfected, totally reliable, and written to be small batch (makes 6) but is easily doubled for a larger portion. Each carefully tested roll also got a flavorful spin on traditional cream cheese frosting on top 😋
Of course, some of them even got completely different toppings like the marshmallow meringue on the s’mores rolls and the gooey topping on the sticky buns. You MUST check those ones out! 🥰
The nice part about ALL of these recipes is that if you’ve perfected the base one time, each consecutive one just builds on those skills with spices, add-ins, or other spreads or sauces to create a whole new cinnamon roll adventure! 🙌

Grateful for my jar of molasses carrying the team this baking season 🧑🍳
Ok, but for real, there’s nothing wrong with traditional cinnamon rolls… BUT if you’re looking for a cozy, spiced, ultra soft and fluffy seasonal flavor to make this year, these gingerbread ones are it 🎯
Molasses and a blend of warm spices flavor grace every layer all the way from the dough and the sticky filling to the flavorful cream cheese frosting slathered on top 🤩
Plus, this recipe is written as a small batch, so it makes 6! Easily doubled for a larger crowd or the perfect size for your fam in the morning ☀️

Sometimes it’s really as simple as it sounds, and these creamy peanut butter meltaways are one of my favorite things to add to empty spots on cookie trays. They’re so easy to make and even easier to eat 😝
Don’t overcomplicate this, friend. Just save this reel as your reminder to grab the ingredients to make these for Christmas 🍭

Ok, hear me out: Rice Krispies treats made small batch style, chopped into tiny cubes, blended into a soft and chewy cookie base, and THENNNNN another chunk of Rice Krispies treats stuck to the top of the cookie.
YES. YES YES YES.
And yes, this works with any flavor of Rice Krispie treat you want to make, so if you want to go rogue… I’m here for it! 🙌
These cookies are chewy, gooey, and full of crispy bits in every bite. They were one of the favorites of the whole dozen among taste testers! 😮

Even though pine nuts are a little on the pricey side, I SWEAR by these pignoli cookies. They’re always a crowd pleaser and they are safe to eat by most folks as they don’t have any gluten or dairy, and pine nuts are an uncommon allergy.
They’re super simple to put together and they don’t require any chilling, which means you get a super delicious and unique cookie on the spread without a lot of fuss 🙌
Save this for when you’re putting those cookie tins together this weekend! 🍪

Today’s new recipe is brought to you by fresh blackberries, tangy feta, and sweet honey 🍯 #ad
Juicy blackberries sit atop tangy whipped feta sweetened with honey wrapped in a flaky, buttery homemade pie dough in this EASY blackberry galette.
If you are intimidated by pies, a galette is what you want! They’re considered the “lazy pies” of the baking world, because while they have a lot of the same components, they’re made flat on a baking sheet and require very little structured steps and even encourage creativity in shaping.
This galette is buttery, gooey, juicy, and messy in the best way possible! And I know you’re going to love how simple it is to make.
This recipe is brought to you in partnership with @bushelandberry, a collection of compact, ornamental, and self-pollinating plants for the home garden 🪴 many independent garden centers, home improvement stores, grocers, and online retailers carry Bushel and Berry, and you can find a retailer near you by visiting the link to their website in my post 🫐🍓
