Jen's own desserts

Well, last week I was doing plenty of sugar cookies! Just not ready to post them. I was working on an order for 7 dozen which took me quite a bit of time. I ended up doing 7 different designs which broke it up nicely for me. But that takes me all week to do - just imagine all the different colors!!! I won't post those cookies until next week but had to do something this weekend so that I could show!!!!

Let's start with Pineapple Cheesecake Squares from Cookie Madness. These are very rich and gooey as you can see - but quite tasty. Unfortunately I didn't have white chocolate chips like the recipe really called for so used butterscotch ones. While it is still good, I do believe the white chocolate would be better.

I ran across this recipe for Creamy Key Lime Bars from Desert Culinary that was so simple I just had to try it to believe it. The verdict??? They were as easy to make as the recipe made them look. And they are very tasty. But these once again are very rich. I didn't have any key limes so mine were "zestless". I also added a bit of crushed pineapple to the mix which was tasty.



So Trevor always wants COOKIES for breakfast. So I went on the hunt to find one to try. I came up with Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies . I found this on the Healthy Cooking Website by suite101 Many of the recipes I found had raisins, dates, and nuts in them. BUT Trevor is a bit picky so none of those would do. The recipe is a bit interesting - zero butter being made with applesauce instead. I was worried how it would all turn out. But they were easy to make, roll out and cook.
This little guy seemed to like them! At least he said he did!! I tasted them and like the recipes above they were very rich in chocolate. I couldn't really taste the peanut butter but maybe I just really like a peanut butter flavor and it wasn't rich enough for me. Pat liked them too. I would recommend trying all of the recipes above....but they are all very RICH - so you wouldn't have to eat very much to get your fill!!

Happy Baking!
