What is your favorite sweet? We would love for you to share a recipe or link to place that serves it. Pictures are great, too!
Lately I’ve most often been making shortbread cookies, which are super easy to make and insanely delicious. I usually double the recipe and freeze the finished cookies to keep them fresh. My grandmother made the best and easiest chocolate ice box cake. This recipe looks similar. It’s really so simple, light and delicious.
That looks so delicious!
Thank you, Cathlin, for taking the time to reconnect with us. We look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
