​I’ve officially restocked the shelf (and the front local baker's table) with all of my brand-new fall flavor cookies just in time for the long weekend.

​Whether you’re in the mood for decadent gourmet cookies, huge snickerdoodles (And let’s be honest… you definitely deserve a treat, or three.)
​Where to run, not walk: Shaw’s Marketplace

​The Game Plan: Grab your favorites before everyone else realizes they’re back and clears the shelf!

​Come get your hands on some handcrafted deliciousness and start the long weekend off right! 🍁🍪

🍪 Ladies and Gents, WE ARE BASICALLY SOLD OUT! 🍪

I am down to TWO cookies at Shaw’s Marketplace! 😱🙌 They are sitting on the Local Baker’s Table right at the front of the store, just waiting for someone to take them home.

But don’t worry… MORE COOKIES ARE COMING! 🎉

I’ll be baking tomorrow evening for a Thursday morning drop-off, and this time I’ll be introducing my brand-new FALL COOKIE FLIGHTS! 🍂🍪

Yes, I know it’s still approximately 5011º outside 🥵😂 BUT according to the calendar, we have officially entered the **“Ber” months!

The calendar says FALL… Texas says HA! 😂🥵

But that’s not stopping me! It’s time to start thinking about all things FALL!

🎃 Pumpkin Spice
🥧 Pecan Pie
🍁 Warm, cozy fall flavors
🍪 And a few other delicious surprises!

So while Mother Nature is still serving up summer, I’m over here baking like it’s sweater weather. 😂

Keep your eyes peeled because the new Fall Cookie Flights are coming to Shaw’s Marketplace Thursday morning!

🌻 MORE GOODIES HEADED TO CROSS PLAINS! 🌻
It’s time for Showcase #2 of the goodies I’ll be bringing to the Cross Plains Community Market this Saturday! 🧺❤️
Here are four more things you’ll find on my table:
🍌 Banana Nut Mini Muffins — little bites of banana-y, nutty goodness that are perfect with your morning coffee!
🍯 Texas Honey Butter — sweet, creamy, buttery goodness that is downright delicious spread on warm bread, muffins, biscuits…you get the idea! 😋
🍰 Czech-Style Cheesecake — creamy, rich, and just a little bit different from your traditional cheesecake. This is one of those goodies you’re just going to have to try!
🧀 Pimento Cheese Spread — and I’m bringing it TWO ways! ❤️ Classic — creamy, cheesy and full of Southern goodness. 🔥 Hot & Spicy — jalapeño and cayenne bring the heat for those who like a little kick!
And remember…this is only Showcase #2! 👀
I’ve still got more goodies to show you before Saturday, including some of my garlic & cheese bread, jalapeño & cheese bread, kolaches, and cookies! 🍞🌶️🍓🍪
So mark your calendars and come see me!

And since I know y’all like to see what’s coming, I’m going to be showcasing some of the goodies that will be making the trip to Cross Plains!

🫐 OVER THE TOP BLUEBERRY MINI MUFFINS 🫐
These little beauties are PACKED with blueberries and baked up tender, buttery, and bursting with that sweet-tart blueberry goodness. They may be mini, but there is absolutely NOTHING mini about the flavor! 💙

🍫 CHEESECAKE SWIRL BROWNIES 🍫
Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies swirled with creamy cheesecake and baked into one seriously decadent bite. These are the kind of brownies that make you say, “Okay…just one more.” 😂

And trust me…these are only the beginning! 👀

I’ll be showcasing more of what I’m bringing over the next few days, so keep watching! There are going to be LOTS of delicious reasons to make the trip to Cross Plains Saturday morning.
