Cannoli Dip comes together in 5 minutes with just 5 ingredients. It’s super easy to halve the recipe for a small group, or double it for a large party.

This Recipe For Cannoli Dip Is Perfect For Your Sweet Tooth!

A perfect cannoli is one of my favorite desserts, and also one of the most hard-to-find. It’s not exactly easy finding a great cannoli in the Detroit area. So unless I’m boarding a flight to Boston, it’s a dessert that lives largely in my dreams.

Sure, I could make them at home. But, making them from scratch is pretty labor intensive and not something I usually have time for.

So, I created this Cannoli Dip recipe as a simple way to enjoy some of the *flavors* of cannoli with minimal effort.

The mascarpone, ricotta and lightly sweet vanilla flavor are all there. The crunchy mini chocolate chips are bountiful (and, you can add chopped pistachios if you want). Truly, it’s like 98% as satisfying as a cannoli, and well, that’s good enough for me!

The gooey, sticky texture and rich, sweet flavor of these Halloween Rice Krispie Treats will make them a standout addition at your spooky celebration.

When it comes to creating the Halloween food I’ve come to be known for, my goal is always to make things that TASTE as good as they look.

This seems obvious, but it’s not always the case with themed food recipes you’ll find online. A lot of them are designed to LOOK really cute (or creepy), but the flavor was clearly an afterthought.

What sets this Halloween Rice Krispie Treats recipe apart is my attention to FLAVOR detail, down to a few grains of salt. Yes, a pinch of salt balances the sweetness of the marshmallows and creates a more nuanced flavor.

The taste and texture of these adorable treats will make them a standout addition to your spooky celebration.

These Halloween Cookies have the richest chocolate batter studded with the very most Reese’s Pieces, seasonal M&Ms, candy eyeballs and vibrant sprinkles.

This Halloween Cookies Recipe is for the Ghouls

If you want the best Halloween Cookies, you need to come to the queen of Halloween Food Ideas. It’s me, hi, I’m the queen, it’s me.

These cookies were tested so many times, because I wanted them to be just absolutely perfect for spooky season. The rich chocolate batter is studded with the maximum amount of chocolate chips possible for the very darkest, richest cookie.

Then, they are also bursting with the very most Reese’s pieces, Halloween M&M’s (the “Ghoul’s Mix”), candy eyeballs and vibrant Halloween sprinkles for the tastiest and most festive cookie for a hauntingly good time.

These pillowy soft Sour Cream Cookies have been made in the Midwest for generations. They’re bursting with nutmeg flavor and stay soft for at least a week after they are baked.

“Thanks for this recipe. It is a tradition for me to make them with my grandbabies for Christmas every year. They love them! They love decorating them too!”

“I had lost my grandma’s recipe last year in a house fire, so one of those small things that hit me when trying to make that holiday cheer. THANKFULLY I found this recipe and it will now be our family traditional Christmas cookie. Husband wasn’t a fan of grandma’s recipe but said I should receive a cookie award for these. Kids loved decorating them. Sturdy enough for little hands to grab, soft and chewy, subtle nutmeg flavor and holds details of cookie cutters very well.”

My Family’s Secret Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

This is probably the most personal recipe on this blog – my family’s Christmas cookie recipe!

My mom got this recipe for Sour Cream Cookies from my grandma, who got it from a coworker, who probably got it from a local newspaper here in the Midwest.

What makes it so special? Two things – flavor and texture. The flavor largely comes from a generous spoonful of nutmeg. While most sugar cookie cutouts have very little flavor other than sugary dough, these ones have a subtle spice flavor.

And the sour cream keeps them extremely soft. They even stay soft for at least a week after they’re baked – an impressive feat for a sugar cookie.

My mom generously helped me translate our family recipe into a foolproof written version, and even helped me make the cookies for this post (those are her hands rolling out the dough in the step-by-step photos below).

What Does Sour Cream Do In Baking?

Sour cream is magic! It serves several functions in baked goods such as these sour cream sugar cookies:

• Moisture Booster. Sour cream adds extra moisture to the cookie dough, ensuring a soft and tender final product.
• Flavor Enhancer. The subtle tang of the sour cream complements the sweetness of the other ingredients.
• Leavening Agent. The acidity of the sour cream reacts with the baking soda, resulting in a light and airy cookie.
