I have fond memories of sneaking into my grandfather's cookie stash (year-round) just to get my hands on those soft, sweet, and warm pieces of heaven. Here's what you'll need for about 30 cookies:

Let's begin with what must be the ultimate in retro dessert fare -- the intimidatingly delicious baked Alaska. Ice cream is molded in a bowl, set atop a round layer of cake, then covered in airy meringue. After a final freeze, the whole shebang is put in a hot oven so that the meringue can quickly turn a beautiful golden brown. It may sound like a recipe for a trained pastry chef, but the dozens of reviews from home cooks prove it's totally achievable at home. If you want to make things a little easier, skip making your own cake and use a store-bought cake for the base instead!

Big Fluffy Beignets - Copycat Cafe du Monde

This snack cake is inspired by “banoffee,” a pie flavor mashup of banana and toffee that’s long been popular in the United Kingdom. In snack cake form, it begins with a dense, sweet banana cake topped with a caramel glaze. After baking, the cake is topped with a caramel glaze that’s made on the stovetop. While it pours from the pot almost like a liquid, the glaze ultimately sets to be slightly chewy, like fudge. Best of all, it adds huge caramel flavor to each bite. Finally, a layer of buttery shortbread crumbs presses into the top for the perfect crunchy finish. Slice the cake into squares for serving (and be happy that bananas help keep it moist for days, if it lasts that long).
