Recap of Last Year’s Cookies and Cupcakes
I made quite a few cookies and cupcakes this year even considering all the bars and brownies I made. Here’s my top 5 from the year.
My quest to find a perfect white cupcake ended with these White Cupcakes. They don’t dome up, but I’ve decided, that’s ok. Domed cupcakes look the same as flat cupcakes when they’re frosted anyways.
These Oreo Cupcakes are amazing. If you haven’t made them yet, go buy some Oreos and make them soon. Hands down my favorite thing I’ve ever made.
I was also glad to find a great Chocolate Frosting recipe. I love how dark and rich is it.
I love M&Ms. Add them to cookie batter and they get even better. Add them to chocolate cookie batter and it’s amazing. These Chocolate M&M Cookies are another favorite. And with festive M&Ms you can make them for any occasion.
My sister and I made these Homemade Oreos and really enjoyed the flavor. Can you tell I’ve been big into Oreos this year?

Hi There,
The vanilla cupcakes in your ‘how to fill’ post look lovely and moist. Can you share the recipe? Thanks x
I’m fairly new to your blog, but I have to say this post made me very excited to go back and read/try some of your suggestions. First on my list is that Monkey Bread…
I am so amazed at just HOW MANY amazing things you’ve made!! They all look so good!
Happy Blogiversary! I hope I make it to 2 years 🙂 I really enjoyed reading all your recaps!
What a great roundup! And Happy Bloggiversary 🙂
Mrs Hackney – Those cupcakes are *gasp* from the box. Here is the original post.
Hello!
Great ideas, all. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I added the photo credit to the posts – I usually do that, I’m not sure why I didn’t to start with. Love your blog.
Great recap Jen! Thanks for sharing.
