Welcome to Joyful Bakes!

This cookie has that perfect combination of crispy exterior with chewy interior and is chock full of chocolate chips.

This is a jumbo cookie jammed with butterscotch chips and pecans.  

A delightful cookie which starts with my melt-in-your mouth shortbread cookie, and is topped with caramel and a drizzle of dark chocolate. Choose Flaky Salt or finely chopped peanuts to finish them.

A beautiful shortbread cookie as lovely to look at as it is to eat, brimming with real blueberries and lemon zest.  A spring and summer favorite.

My aunt shared this shortbread cookie recipe with me years ago and it has been my go-to when a light, buttery rich cookie is called for.

Crisp, dunkable and rich chocolate biscotti full of almonds, dried cherries and chocolate chunks, just ready for that cup of coffee, capuccino or tea...or nothing!

These flaky,  cookies, enhanced by rosemary, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and finely ground almonds are lovely with sparkling wine and white wine.  Truth be told, they aren't too bad with a red wine, either!   

Rich, cheesy and toothsome, these rich crackers are more like a savory cookie.  They are a nice addition to a charcuterie board and pair well with a variety of wines.  

These soft cookies are gluten-friendly, have no white flour or white sugar and are made with gluten-free chocolate chips.  They are a delicious and beautiful cookie.  

These large, soft and tender cookies have the warmth of chai spices and a slightly nutty flavor from browned butter.  They just might become your favorite!

These chocolate cookies are whoppers, filled with toasted pecans and walnuts and additional chocolate. They have a chewy crunchy texture and are sure to become a favorite for those who love chocolate and nuts.  

This cookie has a soft, chewy texture and is flavored with real lemon juice, lemon zest and ricotta cheese. It is a refreshing change of pace and a great addition to your goodie tray.  A fresh, lemon glaze tops off the cookie, making it irresistible. 

Decadent and buttery rich, these chocolate, caramel shortbread bars are a crowd-pleaser!  

A family favorite.  This tender, cakey bar with chocolate chips is topped with chocolate frosting.  A gentle hit of cinnamon adds a subtle warm essence. 

A fudgy, chewy brownie with chopped pecans.  

A moist, fudgy, chewy brownie without nuts for those who want to just enjoy pure chocolate bliss.  

A unique bar, slightly chewy and flavored with rosemary and grapefruit zest, this is surprisingly unique and so flavorful!  More of a chewy bar than a crisp shortbread.

Honestly, these have more than seven layers with a tender and buttery graham cracker crust, layers of milk, semi-sweet and butterscotch chips, flaky coconut and pecans. They are layered with flavor and taste great at room temperature or chilled.  

Chewy chocolate brownie bites covered in a smooth and decadent chocolate ganache.
