I'm going out with a bang on this cookie week and saving the cookie with the most potential for last... butter crescents! This special treat was a staple in my childhood home during Christmastime, and I would bet that a majority of you have some variation of this cookie floating around in your holiday pasts, as well. The neat thing about this cookie is that it is SO incredibly versatile. My mom calls these "crescents" because she always forms the dough into crescent moon sha

This is a new cookie in my holiday baking repertoire and so much fun! My mom came across this recipe recently and loved it so much that she encouraged me to try and alter it, using safe ingredients.

Some of my earliest memories as a child was baking with my mom. Perhaps it was a sign of things to come, bu

Everyone sit down. Seriously, this is one of the biggest food allergy wins of my almost decade-long journey in this world of ours. And, I can hardly believe that THIS recipe... the one that wowed me many moons ago when dairy allergies, in particular, weren't even on my radar... is just as delicious when made with dairy and wheat substitutions. I'm telling you, this recipe is the Pioneer Woman at her best, and it's a game changer. I love these cinnamon rolls so much that they'
