XL White Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip & XL White Chocolate Cinnamon Chip Cookies

So... I think I win the worst blogger of the year award, I havent posted in over a month and havent commented on anyones blogs recently either. But, dont worry I still have been looking at all the yummy fall desserts every one has been baking up lately. I promise to get back in the
swing of things soon.

My last post was about XL Chocolate Chip cookies I saw on Picky Palate. These are the same cookies just using slightly different ingredients! This time I used white chocolate chips and added peanut butter chips in half and cinnamon chips in the other half. I didnt really end up getting many pictures with the peanut butter chips cookies cause they dissappeared quickly.

This recipe can be changed so easily to whatever cookie flavors you are craving. I really enjoyed the white chocolate and cinnamon combination however, most people went straight for the peanut butter chip ones! If you dont have this muffin topper pan, I highly recommend running out and getting one! I love mine!

Sopapilla Cheesecake

My boyfriend had this Sopapilla Cheesecake at the fire station one day and couldnt stop talking about how good it was. He brought the recipe home the next day and of course I had to make it. I love anything with cinnamon and sugar. Plus it looked super easy to throw together. I ended up bringing this to a 4th of July bbq and cut them into squares to serve.

Printable Recipe


2 cans Crescent Rolls
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
16 oz. cream cheese, at room temp
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Open one can of the crescent rolls and spread out covering the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan. You can use your fingers to press any broken seams back together.


Mix cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and the vanilla just until combined. Pour over the crescent rolls.

Open the last can of crescent rolls and spread out on top of the cream cheese mixture.


Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the crescent roll layer. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

It will look like this above, sorry for the rotated photo, photo uploader wasnt being very cooperative this morning. :)


Bake for 30 minutes or until topping is browned. Cool completely in the pan before cutting. The recipe calls for this to be served warm and refrigerate leftovers. However, I actually preferred these served chilled. But eat whichever way you prefer. Can be served with honey or fruit if preferred. Enjoy!


This really easy one of the easiest desserts I've ever made, run along now and go make it!

Chocolate Cinnamon Bundt Cake

I was in charge of bringing dessert for a New Years Lunch with my family. I knew I was going to make a bundt cake because my boyfriend's mom got me the most beautiful bundt pan from Williams Sonoma for Christmas!


After flipping through some recipes I decided on a cinnamon chocolate bundt cake that I saw on Lick the Bowl Good. The cakes smelled amazing while it was cooking and it was so moist and chocolately I could have eaten the whole thing!

Cinnamon Chocolate Bundt Cake from Food Librarian via Lick the Bowl Good

1/2 cup butter

1 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

5 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs slightly beaten

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract



Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray. Make sure to cover all the crevices.

Put butter, oil, cocoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well. Then add, the buttermilk and baking soda. Mix together the eggs, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the batter.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes. (Mine took closer to 38 mins. Usually my oven cooks things pretty quick but this just took a lot longer than I thought it would)

Allow to cool in pan completely!

I just sprinkled the top with powdered sugar.

A little close up...

Thanks Monica for sharing the recipe, this cake was moist and delicious! My family enjoyed it with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. :)
