Simple newborn hat

This is an incredibly simple newborn hat, using only three stitches. For me, the only tricky part is remembering how to multiply the stitches for the base of the hat to get the right size, which is why I'm doing this post.

Five months (carrot cake sandwiches)

This is a carrot cake whoopie pie. Or is it just a carrot cake cookie sandwich? What makes a whoopie pie a whoopie pie? I hadn't heard a whoopie pie until a couple years ago. Was I deprived as a child on purpose by parents limiting processed sugars? Or are whoopie pies just not a "thing" in northern California?

Whatever it's called, it's delicious.

Appetizer for dinner (brie in pie crust)

Hey guys! Guess what? You really can put anything in those pie cookies. Even things that don't qualify as cookies. See above: brie.

S'more whoopie pie

I'm on a baking/blogging roll!

Today was brought to us by the s'more whoopie pie.

Happy birthday, America! (Apple Pie Cookies)

I've been told that pies are the next cupcake. I wasn't convinced. Yes, you can make pies in adorable miniature form in a cupcake pan. But it's just not that portable, you know? They crumble, the filling falls out, it's a whole plate and fork deal. But I think I've found the solution.

I know. It's amazing.

Peanut butter cup brownies

Confession.. I made these at the beginning of April. It's now the middle of May and I'm only now getting around to posting. Oops.

They are brownies baked in mini muffin tins with peanut butter and chocolate chips spooned into the middle. They are the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. They are bite size. They are adorable.
