1. Cowboy Cookies
For city slickers, it’s hard to appreciate the physical labor a cowboy does every day.
Cowboys require a lot of calories and they get hungry. Enter cowboy cookies.
It’s said that this delicious treat started as a sort of energy bar for the trails.
Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know. What I do know is that cowboy cookies are filling and scrumptious.
Cowboy cookies are essentially oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
They’re crispy on the edges and perfectly chewy inside. They’re buttery, chocolatey, and irresistibly delicious.
2. Texas-Style Peach Cobbler
Peach cobbler is a southern classic. But Texas-style peach cobbler is its own beautiful creation.
Traditional peach cobbler features a crust made from biscuits or dumplings, like an upside-down pie. Texas cobbler is more like a peach cake.
Rather than biscuit dough, the peaches are covered in a buttermilk batter. This batter is thin, so it works its way down between the peach slices.
The result is a tender, moist, cake-like cobbler with slices of peach in every bite.
This cobbler is also loaded with butter, so it’s seriously indulgent. Serve it with peach ice cream!
3. Homemade Funnel Cake
Bring the county fair right to your kitchen with this homemade funnel cake. It’s so easy to make!
You only need to make a simple batter and fry it to golden perfection.
There’s no creaming, proving, or fancy techniques involved. Mix the wet ingredients, add in the dry goods, and fry it.
You can eat this funnel cake plain or add any toppings that speak to you. Whatever you do, your family will love this!
4. Texas Pecan Pie
It’s like your average pecan pie, but bigger (well, taller). And it’s award-winning, so you know this pie is good.
This pecan pie has a deliciously thin, flaky, and golden crust. It’s almost surprising it can hold the weight of the filling and piles of pecans!
This pie is the perfect balance between crunchy and creamy. Plus, each bite is rich, nutty, and utterly decadent.
5. Hummingbird Cake
Sweet enough to attract a hummingbird (or so they say), this cake is classic southern goodness.
If you love tropical flavors, nuts, and warm spices, I know you’ll love this cake.
Hummingbird cake is dense, moist, and creamy. Its flavors are spiced, fruity, and nutty.
It’s a deliciously fun combination of banana bread, pineapple upside-down cake, and carrot cake.
A sweet and tangy pineapple cream cheese frosting brings everything together. Yum. Read More...
