Yum Alert: Baked Cookies & Cream Donuts

Baked Cookies & Cream Donuts
Written by emilyc

Donuts are one of the best things about being a human, especially when they’re not submerged in fry oil before you consume them. This baked version is just like Krispy Kreme (sidenote: I wonder if the Kardashians own Krispy Kreme?) only draped in clouds of cookies and cream and not fried. Recipe and image via Cooking Classy.
