Easy Dessert Recipes — Cookies, Cinnamon Rolls, Brownies & Biscoff Tiramisu
Not every dessert has to be hard. These are made with what's already in most kitchens, most are ready in under an hour, and each one has one small trick that makes the difference.

Chef's notes
Chill the dough first
Fifteen minutes in the freezer stops cookies spreading and keeps them thick. The same rule works for any butter-rich dough.
No-bake options
Biscoff tiramisu needs no oven at all and is made a day ahead — ideal for guests.
Questions
What's the easiest dessert for guests?
Biscoff tiramisu: no oven, made a day ahead, served cold.
Why do my cookies spread flat?
Usually the butter was too warm or the dough wasn't chilled. Freeze the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking.
Does the Biscoff tiramisu contain coffee or alcohol?
No — the book's version has no coffee and no alcohol.
