For this recipe, you’ll need to have a sharp knife so you can easily chop up your ingredients. Another handy tool is a mandolin, which will help sli...
Sweet and Salty Heaven
As we turn a new leaf over into the second half of the spring semester, I wanted to leave you all with a decadent and indulgent recipe this week: A sweet and salty variety that will be sure to satisfy your taste buds.

The Reese’s-filled center gives that extra oomph of saltiness to the cookie. Now onto the re...
