Recipe: Thin Crust Pizza

If you have a stand mixer this recipe is about as easy as they come simply pop all the ingredients in and prepared to be wowed by what comes out. This pizza is best when rolled thin and cooked until the edges are perfectly crisp. Ready for just about any toppings and with a very short rise time it’s great for a slow Friday night. You can honestly ignore the rise time if you’re in a rush and you roll it out thin enough it will puff while you’re putting toppings on and when cooking but for a little extra softness waiting the 30 minutes for it to rise will give it a pillow-y texture. This recipe easily doubles for a crowd.

Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

This is a fairly easy to do cookie bar recipe which turns out delicious homemade cookie. The recipe called for a 13×9 but I used a 9×9 and it worked out okay as well. I made it in the stand mixer but you could easily make this by hand or with a hand mixer with the same amount of ease. It comes together in under 5 minutes so it’s the perfect recipe for a last minute dessert.
