Maybe you’ve got a bag of chocolate chips and you’re looking for some inspiration. Maybe it’s the two onions sitting on your kitchen counter that need some doing. Maybe you’re just hungry and you need a really great snack.

Here are some of the most popular recipes on Joy the Baker across the eight years of this site. I hope it brings you inspiration, or at least an idea of what to do with those chocolate chips. If you’re asking me, and of course you’re asking me, the answer is always Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Happy Baking!

1.	I’m committed to folding crumbled chewy brownies into the easiest homemade no-churn ice cream.⁣
2.	I’m shopping for all of my baking and summer entertaining essentials, wine and cheese at the new @aldiusa stores opening across the Gulf Coast! Wait… you’re as obsessed with ALDI as I am, right? The shopping is always easy and affordable and I always come home with a fun treat among my essentials. Hit up my stories to see my grocery haul (and the chips I ate in the car on the way home) and head to your nearest ALDI for your summer essentials!  #ad⁣
