Mini Blackberry Cobblers

Yummmm....

With all the fresh fruit in season, this is a great way to throw together

and quick and nummy dessert!

We got these blackberries from a local farmers market...

so fresh and juicy!

I just love the look of "mini" desserts!

Grease your ramekin and layer up the berries.

Sprinkle fruit with any juices from the fruit, sugar and cornstarch.

(If you don't have any juice from the berry, add a little lemon juice.)

Mix until all incorporated!

Dot each ramekin with butter...

In a medium bowl, combine sugar cookie mix, butter

vanilla or almond extract and 1 egg....

Use your hands to make a small ball of dough and

place in ramekin. Press dough down until most of

the top is covered.

Bake for about 18-20 minutes...

let cool slightly.

Top with ice cream!!

Enjoy your quick and cute mini dessert!

Caribbean Lime Coolers

These cookies are a bite of freshness!

Sweet and tangy.

I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker site and have been wanting to make them for quite a while now.

The only change I made was to add white chocolate chips-every now and again you get a white chip in your bite-YUM I also toasted the coconut, I think it's really the only way to eat coconut;)

~

Ingredient list:

Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix

toasted coconut

zest and juice of 1 lime

butter

1 egg

white chocolate chips

powdered sugar

I love how quick these cookies mixed up and were baked and ready to eat!

That's what I love about a mix-quick and super easy!

Zest adds so much flavor and it's always nice to add a little color;)

Ever tried cracking an egg and taking a picture at the same time???

Me neither I cracked it first then tried to keep it in one side of the shell and click;)

Just so ya know!

I used 1/2 a bag but you could use the whole thing or less if you like.

the recipe calls for 3 T. but I just squeezed the whole thing in there-worked out fine:)

stir and drop...

the dough was a little soft but worked out for some soft and yummy cookies

Bake for 9 to 13 minutes.

I baked mine for 9 minutes exactly.

Dust with a little powdered sugar.

Enjoy!!

Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Bars

These bars are a "Prize-Winning Recipe 2008" from the Betty Crocker

website and let me tell you...

they definitely taste prize winning too!!

Look at the layers... yummy PB, nougat, caramel with nuts

and topped with chocolate! Yummm!

Another thing I love about this recipe is even though you have all

the layers, they are relatively easy to throw together!!

Mix a peanut butter cookie mix together with oil, water and egg.

Press mixture into the bottom of a sprayed pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, start you next layer....

corn syrup, butter, peanut butter, water vanilla and start!

The ingredient list alone makes my mouth

water (I am a hug PB fan!! :)!!

Creamy and smooth!

Add powdered sugar...

and you have your nougat layer!

Layer the "nougat" on top of the cooled cookie base.

On to the caramel layer....

melt caramels and water over low heat.

Stir in peanuts.

Layer it up!

Melt your chocolate chips...

Ready to Enjoy!!!

Eat one quickly... lol!! They will disappear fast!

Two Cooks, Two Cookies, Too Yummy!

Fudge and Marshmallow-Topped Cocoa Cookies
In honor of National Cookie Day, Michelle and I tried two recipes we've never made!

These cookies both start from sugar-cookie mixes and look YUMMY!

They were.

These deliciously yummy chocolaty cookies are from the Betty Crocker site.

And I'm pretty sure you can tell how I feel about them!!

They are the perfect mix of chocolate and marshmallow-with a bit of sprinkles;)

The cookie itself is from a sugar cookie mix!

Crazy easy!

You mix all ingredients and pop into 375 degree oven for 9 minutes and then plop on 1 marshmallow pop back in the oven for just a minute or two.

Then you press down the marshmallow and top with the chocolate frosting.

But let's talk a bit about the frosting part of these cookies-

It is soooo good and sets up nicely for that perfect sloooow drip:)

But you do have to be kinda quick because it sets fast!

So yummy I had to stick the rest of 'em in the freezer for less temptation!!

Give this one a try!

Perfect for taking to your cookie exchange or sending to your kids school Christmas party!

Enjoy!!

Chocolate Snowballs

Here is another great and very easy cookie recipe!! This would be a good one to do with the kids...

yep, you use the sugar cookie mix to start.... :)

In large bowl combine sugar cookie mix, butter, egg, flour, baking cocoa, almond extract and slivered almonds (these are optional!). Mix until soft dough forms.

You can either roll you dough into 3/4-inch balls or just take a spoonful and wrap around a Hershey kiss. Mix it up... around the holidays they come out with some cool new flavors of kisses!! I went with the original milk chocolate and the new Mint Truffle kisses! Place balls onto cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.

Remove to a cooling rack as soon as you take them out of the oven.... let cool for 5 minutes.


Roll cookies in powdered sugar. Let cool completely for about 15 minutes and roll in powdered sugar again. Double sweetness! :) Enjoy!
