There are literally hundreds of iterations of cookies with various spreads as the foundation. Peanut butter, hazelnut, and almond butter spreads make for soft, chewy cookies and are popular with baking bloggers, but this white chocolate and cookie butter cookie is a great way to reinvent the classic speculaas biscuit. The spread was inspired by the Dutch snack which is comprised of white bread, a thick smear of butter, and is topped with speculaas biscuits. If the snack wasn’t eaten right away, the biscuits would soften, especially over the course of the day if it was packed for lunch. Cookie butter mimics this idea by pre-blending the oil and biscuit crumbs with a few other staples.

PHOENIX (AP) — Rihanna is putting in the work ahead of her Super Bowl halftime show, focusing so hard on what she promises will be "a jam-packed show” that her upcoming birthday and Valentine's Day almost slipped her mind.

“The setlist was the biggest challenge. That was the hardest, hardest part. Deciding how to maximize 13 minutes but also celebrate — that’s what this show is going to be. It’s going to be a celebration of my catalog in the best way that we could have put it together," Rihanna said.

At a media preview Thursday ahead of Sunday's matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, the music superstar and new mom said her appearance — her first live event in seven years — feels “like it could have only been now.”

The Voice coach Gwen Stefani has had some drastic changes with her facial appearance throughout the years. Though she denies having anything done, there are many still believe she has. In addition, they believe it may have rubbed off on her husband Blake Shelton.

The country music star has been around the block with his more than two decades in the music industry. Shelton is currently 46 years old, and it is only natural that the body shows signs of aging especially when you’re nearing your 50s.

SANTA CLARA — Nasty defenses. Strong rushing offenses. Physical in the trenches.

This 49ers-Eagles matchup in the NFC championship game Sunday has all the elements of old-school football.

But don’t overlook all the playmakers at the skill positions on both teams.

Philadelphia has running back Miles Sanders, wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert to go with quarterback Jalen Hurts, a finalist for both the AP NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year.

San Francisco has running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and tight end George Kittle to take pressure off rookie QB Brock Purdy, the last player selected in the draft.

The defenses are ranked 1-2 in the NFL. The coaching staffs feature some of the game’s most brilliant minds.

Home-field advantage is the clear edge. Philadelphia’s rabid fans are programmed to make life miserable for opponents.

After a successful trek around North America last year, the 1975’s At Their Very Best tour touched down in the United Kingdom earlier this January. More evolved, more focused, more outrageous, this run of shows is quickly proving to be a game-changer for the 1975 as a band. More than that, though, it’s challenging what a rock concert can be, and asking questions about what you usually see onstage. Lofty claims, we know, but when it comes to the 1975, ambition is everything.

From eating raw steak and kissing fans (not at the same time) to a string of guest appearances from their wider musical family, here’s everything that went down during the 1975’s At Their Very Best tour.
