Have you ever been sucked into the bakery section of a grocery store? When you go into a good one, it’s like being stuck in a black hole of desserts that you don’t want to escape from without at least a souvenir from your traumatic experience.

The day I made these cookies was also the day I realized it was time to start enforcing a little privacy from my 4 year old.

The original recipe for this particular dessert is my Oreo Trifle that I put together a long time ago. Since then, it’s been a huge hit…but I also wanted to create an easier recipe using the same ingredients as the trifle, only it’s more like a pie. So, you could say this is the sisterRead More
