    16 Popular Desserts From Cookies To Cobblers

    by Kathy Owen · Oct 18, 2024 · Updated: May 5, 2026 · "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases"

    These desserts are some of my family's favorites. The strawberry dump cake especially brings back memories of my childhood, when it was a staple of Sunday dinners.

    My grandkids love the "kitchen sink" cookies, which contain—have you guessed it—everything but the kitchen sink. They are also known as trash cookies, but I'm not a fan of that name.

    No meal is complete without a good dessert. Sometimes there is no room right after the meal and dessert makes the best nighttime treat.
