Bake these delicious applesauce crunch cookies using all ingredients from your pantry staples. At Kathey Jo’s Kitchen, we love using beloved ingredients to create a desert that will be loved by everyone. My husband Rob and I absolutely love these cookies because they remind us of an apple pie, from the taste of the apples to the deep caramelized undertone flavors of the brown sugar, these are a must try!

Once ready, you’ll notice they will cloud up. The interior will be moist, yet fluffy, which will be perfect paired with a cup of coffee in the morning or milk for the kiddos. The star of these cookies is definitely the ½ cup of applesauce used, but the vanilla and brown sugar sure complement the flavors...

Almond Macaroons

Almond Macaroons

At Kathey Jo’s Kitchen we strive to bring forward recipes that everyone will enjoy. These cookies are a perfect example of what everyone will like, from the youngest in the family, to the oldest. My husband Rob has always loved these cookies, and after making them over the holidays, I realized how much even my grandchildren enjoy them! I was one happy baker.

A helpful tip for this recipe is to closely follow the measurements. The almond flavor can be overpowering if overdone, so it’s important to add the right amount. Another factor to closely following the measurements is to have the right consistency. If you add too much sugar, they will flatten; too little sugar will make them puff up. Ultimately, the macaroons should have a crisp exterior and slightly chewy center.

Brownie Dots

Brownie Dots

These brownie dots are an ideal snack when you are craving some chocolatey goodness. It’s such a great recipe for the kids to enjoy, and even help make because of how simple it is! Yes, I can almost assure you that besides maybe a fudge brownie mix, everything else you definitely have in your pantry.

This four-ingredient recipe is simple and easy. All you need is a single fudge brownie mix, ½ cup of powdered sugar, ¼ cup of water, and a single egg. If you consider making a larger amount, you can easily double every ingredient. The amount of brownie dots acquired will vary depending on the size of the rolled-up balls. I can make close to two dozen with this recipe.
