Pumpkin Recipe Roundup

It’s almost Thanksgiving! (AKA time to stuff yourselves until your pants can’t button anymore…) Personally, I’d rather pass on all the traditional dishes and head straight for dessert, so here are a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes to make for you and your family to enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I enjoy fall for two main reasons: wearing rain boots and eating pumpkin baked goods. Pumpkin is most acceptable during the autumn months, so I’ve decided to make the most of this sweet and spicy flavor while it’s welcome!

Pumpkin Spice Biscotti

The “PSL”, or Pumpkin Spice Latte, is the go-to fall drink of choice for the majority  of my peers. Surprisingly, I’m not a fan of the sugary festivities inside a Starbucks holiday cup; however, I do, enjoy a similar sweet and spicy flavor in my baked goods. My sister loves crispy, crunchy foods, so it’s no surprise that she loves biscotti cookies, including these Pumpkin Spice ones! 

Chocolate Twist Cookies (Upgraded Black & White Cookies)

PicMonkey, a free photo editing site contacted me a few weeks ago to start a membership trial. When I’ve searched for recipes on Pinterest in the past, I always admired the decorative pictures with cool fronts and titles, so I decided this was the perfect time to try a new level of editing  my pictures. If you’re an observant follower, you might’ve already noticed this new interest with the updated header and picture on the homepage of “At 350 Degrees”. (My Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies do look pretty delicious, if I do say so myself!)

Chocolate Hazelnut French Macarons (Penn Appetit #2!)

During the summer, my  Brownie Skillet Cake was featured on University of Pennsylvania’s student-run food magazine Penn Appetit. Today, I’m very excited to announce my second submission: Chocolate Hazelnut French Macarons. This dessert contains a huge “wow”-factor, so check out the delicious post below!

Cinnamon Sugar Mandel Bread (Almond Biscotti)

In celebration of Jewish New Year this month, I went back to the basics to make traditional cinnamon sugar mandel bread (aka mandelbrot).  Every year, I would eagerly wait for my cousin in Chicago to send them to us in the mail, reserving a whole bag just for myself! A few years later, I tried baking these cookies myself, and I realized how similar they are to an Italian biscotti in flavor, texture, and recipe. So, if you liked my previous Chocolate Dipped Almond Biscotti or Double Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti posts, this is the recipe for you!

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies (Using Coconut Oil)

When I start a new school year, I like to begin with a clean slate: an organized room, a new planner, and healthy lunches. So, sorry for those of you craving chocolate ganache and Nutella buttercream frosting, but my attempt at a healthy streak continues!

Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies (Guest Post)

A couple of months ago Nicki Anderson, a health and fitness guru, contacted me to guest post on At350Degrees. She owned and operated the award-winning Reality Fitness, Inc. Personal Training studio, has  authored four health and motivational books (Nicki Anderson’s Single Step Weight Loss and 101 Ways to Motivate Your Clients and Increase Retention), and is a health and fitness contributor to websites, magazines, and newspapers. She’s found delicious guilt-free summer snacks using Stevia–my favorite so far, Apple Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies!

Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes

In one of my latest posts, Almond Joy Baked Oatmeal, I promised to feature more healthy and nutritious dessert recipes, so this afternoon I tried making a paleo pumpkin cookie recipe. Fortunately, they were wheat and dairy free; unfortunately, you could definitely tell. And because nothing is more disappointing that a less than tasty dessert, I had to try these cinnamon streusel pancakes to uplift my dejected taste buds.

Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi, my name is Carissa and I’m an Oreo addict. I mean, what would be the point of frozen yogurt if you couldn’t drown swirls of vanilla bean froyo in crushed Oreos?! These cookie’s facts really are fun because I love looking at each country’s own special Oreo flavors like China’s Green Tea Oreos, Argentina’s Oreo Alfajors, and Mexico’s Oreo Trio Chocolates. I honestly don’t know what makes an Oreo so delicious, but to make me stray away from my strict acceptance of only soft and chewy cookies, an Oreo must be something special!
