Chewy Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Posted on December 21, 2023December 21, 2023by wallflourgirl

Rich notes of espresso pair perfectly with chocolate in this thin, chewy-edged cookie that blends sophistication with pure indulgence. Best enjoyed with a glass of milk (or coffee)!

Every once in a while, a recipe comes along that is so mind-blowingly scrumdiddlyumptious, it’s worth dragging yourself out of the Blogging Bogs of Banishment to post about it. This, my friends, is one of those awesome recipes.

Though I’ve never been a fan of coffee (the drink), I grew up in a household where coffee (the flavor) was the stuff of dessert legend. My grandma in particular was the Matriarch of … Read more

Ganache-filled Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on March 28, 2022March 28, 2022by wallflourgirl

These glorious Ganache-filled Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies are a Wallflour favorite! Rich dark chocolate ganache centers are wrapped within a perfectly chewy, crispy-edged chocolate chunk cookie that’s sure to make you swoon. Recipe lightly adapted from Love and Olive Oil.

I’m sorry, Ms. Jackson…These cookies are for real.

It’s very rare in our household that a new dessert becomes an instant Wallflour Boy hit. Unlike me, he prefers 2000s hip hop hits to 90s bubblegum pop and savory foods over sweet treats. There are, however, a few notable exceptions: French apple pie, cheesecake, and anything … Read more

Posted on June 22, 2021August 2, 2021by wallflourgirl

These chocolate truffle cookies are a chocoholic’s dream come true! Deep, fudgy flavors meet incredible texture in this surprisingly light, easy-to-make dessert. You’ll find yourself easily inhaling one, two, or maybe even five! Lightly adapted from Allrecipes.

So I happened to be reading the Wikipedia entry for the seven deadly sins the other day and realized at one point that I was making a mental checklist as I went…I’ve been known, for instance, to procrastinate going to bed because I’m too lazy to even get off the couch (sloth), and please never ask me about my utterly gorgeous … Read more

Marble Cupcakes with Swirled Chocolate-Vanilla Frosting

Posted on October 3, 2019December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

Chocolate or vanilla? These Marble Cupcakes with Swirled Chocolate-Vanilla Frosting are perfect for those days when you just can’t decide! My favorite part: they’re just as fast and easy to make as a single batter & frosting cupcake recipe.

Let’s get one thing straight, folks: Decision-making as an adult is hard. Sure, growing up everyone would warn you about the dangers of sex and drugs and dropping out of school–and these are valid concerns (though as someone who spent 23 years in formal education, I still find it amusing that nobody ever warned me about the dangers of staying in … Read more

Boozy Chocolate Bourbon Cake

Posted on June 8, 2019December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

This boozy chocolate bourbon cake features my favorite easy vegan chocolate cake recipe and a bourbon glaze that is sure to blow your guests’ minds. The perfect way to sneak a little bit of “pep” into an office potluck or afternoon dessert break!

Does anybody else’s friends suspect them of alcoholic tendencies just because they keep a pile of bourbon, rum liqueur, and vodka stashed in their pantry at all times?

For someone who rarely drinks alcohol, I have a weird obsession with booze-soaked desserts. Growing up, we always had a bottle of Kahlua sitting on the cupboard shelf–but … Read more

Fudgy, Crackly-Topped Guinness Brownies

Posted on November 6, 2017December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

Three months have passed since my last post and so much good has happened since then that I can’t even apologize for going off the grid completely. I’m just now settling into my new routine as a post-grad adult (more on that in coming posts!), but first I want to rewind and fill you all in on one of the best experiences of my life: a six-week vacay in Europe, y’all!!!

So as some of you remember, last summer I spent three weeks cavorting around the beautiful countries of Ireland, England, Scotland, and Italy. I spent … Read more

Posted on July 11, 2017December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

This chocolate layer cake with peanut butter frosting is THE perfect birthday cake. Made with my favorite moist, rich chocolate cake and a fluffy peanut butter frosting, this cake is the perfect way to celebrate the chocolate-PB lover in your life!

“Oh my god, it’s like I’m eating a PEANUT BUTTER DREAM!!!”

These were the words that exploded from one of my best friends’ mouths the moment she took a bite of this chocolate cake last week. Ten of us were crammed into my small apartment, forks at the ready and bodies half-sprawled all across my bed, couch, and carpet. … Read more

The Perfect Muffin for Chocolate Lovers

Posted on December 21, 2016December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

The holidays are here! Sorry for the shortage of posts lately: I spent the last few weeks braving REAL winter and cavorting through the chilly climes of Cancun…

Just kidding! Cancun, as you can probably imagine, was amazing, winter weather included. We spent our early December days simply basking under the tropical sun at our seaside resort, dipping our feet in the warm Caribbean waters, and trekking through some of the gorgeous intra-cavern rivers that wound their way through the old Mayan ruins in Xcaret. Needless to say, I was spoiled silly and am making a rather graceless transition back … Read more
