It appears I missed the memo about it being cookie season. Sorry, y'all! This recipe is definitely four weeks late. And I know now that we're going into January, it's time for a healthy reset for our bodies but you MUST make these before you commit to any diet plans. They are amazing. I only recently became a peppermint mocha fan, and it was thanks to these cupcakes I made last year. I still won't order a peppermint mocha at Starbucks but the flavor combo in desserts is phenomenal. I won't say no to anything chocolate or coffee flavored so what's a little peppermint to spruce things up. Side note: my death by chocolate cookies were featured in an actual printed MAGAZINE. I know, CRAZY right? You can pick up a copy at your local Barnes and Noble OR purchase the digital version here . Now although I didn't add melted chocolate to this cookie dough, the cookies were still super rich, chewy, and bursting with flavor. A hint of cornstarch is the sec...

I have a confession to make. I am a bit of an ALDI fanatic. If my friends had a penny for every time I said "you should go to ALDI!", they would be millionaries. I can't help it. Their prices can't be beat. And their seasonal items are TO DIE FOR. Cue these mini cast iron skillets. Oh.my.god. The cuteness is unbearable. I secretly sometimes wait for the prices on seasonal items to be reduced (right before they are taken off the shelves)....but I grabbed these as soon as I saw them! They are worth every penny and my recipe wheels started turning right away. Since we are right at the peak of gingerbread season, I knew y'all would appreciate these gingerbread skillet cookies. Especially if they were brown butter gingerbread skillet cookies. And I won't judge what ice cream you choose to top them with, but Talenti caramel cookie crunch is a fiiiine choice. These come together so quickly and are perfect for entertaining. My signature go-to dessert...

Attention, these are going to be your new favorite cupcakes. I mean, do the math. If Biscoff cookies are amazing, and Biscoff spread is fantastic, what do you think a Biscoff cupcake is going to be? Hm? That's right. Out of this WORLD. It was a tricky recipe to perfect,  I must admit. My first few batches were ...meh. They were good but not great and I couldn't give you guys anything less than perfect. I had to play around with the ratios of sugar, baking soda, etc until I had made a perfectly moist, tender cupcake with just the right amount of fluffiness. The frosting on the other hand came together wonderfully on my first try, thanks to Sally's Baking Addiction . She knows her stuff. This is probably the dreamiest, creamiest frosting I've ever made. And I think I want to frost all my cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream from now on. But I'm going to stop blabbing about how great these are and just give you the darn recipe. Don't forget to ...
