Birthday Cinnamon Rolls – Using The Pioneer Woman Ree Drumond’s Recipe
by Christi on February 10, 2012
I’ve had had so many requests for my cinnamon roll recipe that I had to let you all know that it’s not mine, it’s the work of Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. And it is insanely delicious.
I started making cinnamon rolls using this recipe a few years ago, and they have become a holiday staple. Ree’s recipe makes a TON of cinnamon rolls, which works well if you want to give them out or if you want to lock the doors and see how many cinnamon rolls one person can consume.
The good news is that they freeze very well, which makes this giant recipe not such a bad idea. I give pans and pans of these out at Christmas, and I usually give them away frozen, with a bag of frosting, allowing the recipient to bake them when they want them. Like on a 9th birthday for example…
The recipe over on Pioneer Woman’s site walks you through this beautifully, step by step, photo by photo.

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Heart Cookies Made In A Whoopie Pie Pan
by Christi on February 9, 2012
Quick post for you today, as I’m busy getting ready for a sweet little girl to turn nine tomorrow. But I had to share these delicious chocolate heart cookies for Valentine’s Day. I used my much loved Chocolate Cookie recipe that was inspired by Levain Bakery’s cookies. This is my all time FAVORITE chocolate cookie recipe, and it’s so simple. To make my hearts, I simply put my dough into a heart shaped whoopie pie pan. The recipe isn’t altered at all, other then adding in Valentine M&M’s and Valentine sprinkles (and cutting back on the chocolate chips due to the M&M’s addition).
Here is a more detailed post from last year when I made chocolate chip cookies in a whoopie pie pan (before I had the cute heart versions of the pan). Here is the pan I used for these cookies.
Here is a bit more info about how I made the chocolate heart cookies. These are seriously SO yummy! Even if you don’t have a whoopie pie pan, Continue reading…
