As almond croissants and stuffed cookies are my two favorite pastries, I had to combine them in this delectable dessert. The result is a chewy cookie with a thick layer of flavorful almond frangipane in the center, and a dusting of powdered sugar on top for a finishing touch. I use the cookie-stuffing method from…
Double Chocolate Nut Butter Stuffed Cookies
Nothing beats the added flavor and texture contrast of a gooey filling inside a perfectly crisp, chewy cookie. This chocolaty recipe is one of my absolute favorites!

Autumnal pumpkin, spices, and chocolate pair beautifully together in a variety of recipes. These soft and chewy bars are packed with chocolate chips on the inside and velvety melted chocolate on top.
