Have you been looking for a delicious cookie, that is gluten-free? You have found the right cookie. It has taken a lot of experimenting….and eating batches of crunchy cookies, and crumbling cookies- but this recipe is a winner in my book! You get to benefit from all of the trials that I went through.
I don’t know about where you live, but spring is officially here in North Carolina. In fact, I’d say it’s almost summer weather with our high 80 degree temperatures this weekend. It was the perfect weather for working in the yard, sipping on sweet tea, and blackberry crisp.
I have always loved all berries, but blackberries have never been my top choice. But after this crisp recipe, I’m a blackberry girl for sure. I’m already thinking of all kinds of ways to use them this summer. Starting with this super easy and delicious blackberry crisp. It’s the perfect blend of sweet with natural tartness from the blackberries.
Crisps have become one of my favorite dishes to bake. They’re so versatile and so easy. Another great part is that their size can be customized really easily. Sometimes I just want to make enough for me and sometimes I need an entire pan filled for a group of friends.
Krispy Kreme was popping up all over cities about 10 years ago, but since then, many of them have closed, and it is not as easy to get those melt in your mouth treats. Those doughnuts right out of the oven could not be beat. So if you miss those doughnuts, then here is a recipe that is a great copycat doughnut that is so good. If you don’t have a deep fryer, or you’re too nervous to fry them in a pot, you can also fry these puppies in a shallow frying pan with some oil.
If you do have a Krispy Kreme shop near you, a great thing that they do for kids is give a free doughnut for every ‘A’ that your child receives on their report card!
Fun Fact about the doughnut: American captain Hanson Gregory came up with the ring-shaped doughnut on his ship in 1847. Tired of the raw centers of regular doughnuts, he cut out a hole with a tin pepper box before frying.
So let’s get to the recipe for some delish doughnuts.

The combo of chocolate and peanut butter remind me of Frank Sinatra. “Why?” you might ask. Are you with me? Ok, I’ll give you a clue. The combination is so perfect, sort of like love and marriage. Are you with me, yet? Ok, I’ll give you the rest of the clue. It is a song and here are some of the lyrics:
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other
My mom adapted this version of chocolate sheet cake from a recipe she has been using for years. Its soooo good. This chocolate cake with any icing would be delicious but topped with peanut butter icing it is perfect. Like the song says, “You can’t have one without the other“. This marriage of chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting is just meant to be.
