Blueberry Coffee Cake

How do you typically drink your coffee? With a cookie on the side perhaps? Or maybe with a side of fresh fruit? My husband Rob loves his coffee accompanied with a blueberry coffee cake, especially during blueberry season. Once you combine this cake with your morning coffee, you’ll want to have them together every morning! It our favorite, and we have it every morning until there is none left.

Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

Chocolate shortbread cookies are a staple for Valentine’s Day. These homemade cookies bring a delicious twist to the already delicious shortbread cookies. They are crisp, buttery, and now sprinkled with semisweet chocolate chips throughout the cookie. Dunk them in your coffee, eat them as a snack, or share them with your significant other during those special days.

One of my favorite cookies have always been shortbread cookies. Rather than completely changing the recipe I know and love, I decided to enhance it. The chocolate chips circulating the tasty cookie make a “melt in your mouth” moment. Not to mention they are easy to make! The ingredients are simple and easily available. In fact, it’s likely you’ll have them in your kitchen already.

Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bakes

With this recipe you will find a delicious way to make no bake cookies. When it’s time to give the oven a break but still whip up a sweet snack, these are your answer. Or perhaps your oven is already being used? This is a quick and easy way to get your sweet tooth satisfied. The best part is that most, if not all of the ingredients are likely to already be in your pantry. Yes, very simple ingredients yet they come together for this banger of a cookie.

Although there are 6 steps in this recipe, two of them are pretty major. In my experience making these no bakes (many, many times), heating the chocolate chips and other ingredients together and refrigerating the done cookies are two pivotal steps...

Anise Biscotti

At Kathey Jo’s Kitchen, we love anise biscotti because they are not only very enjoyable, but perfect for dunking due to their light flavor. Anise flavored biscotti is a very popular “cookie” in my household— my husband Rob loves them! They are lean but crunchy, which in my book is the perfect combination to drink a coffee.

Making these are a lot easier that you would think. It’s an eight-ingredient recipe that calls for items you are likely to already have in your kitchen. The only item that you may need to purchase are the anise seeds. The licorice smelling anise seeds are an essential part of the recipe. This ingredient specifically, is what gives that mature taste to the biscotti.

To get the perfect slices, make sure to closely follow the directions...

Banana-Nut Bars

Is your fruit supply filled with ripped bananas that no one will eat? In that case, I’ve got a delicious recipe you have to try! These banana nut bars are a great snack to make for your family. Why ripe bananas you may ask? At this stage, they have a boosted flavor, not to mention the sweetness level goes up. You’ll know a banana is ripe when it has an increased number of brown spots and is very soft. This ultimately means that they are ready to bake a delicious snack, at least in Kathey Jo’s Kitchen it does.

These bars are not your usual chewy bar, they are fluffy and moist. The banana nut bars are super flavorful, with the perfect crunch of chopped nuts...
