Cranberry Cream Pie
Cranberries need not be limited to sauces. Their intense color and flavor, combined with a creamy, no bake filling, make a spectacular pie. This was one of Deana’s favorite a few years ago. She would give it to her friends on their birthdays. It’s kind of gone under the radar the past few years which…
Eggnog Cake
Can you imagine getting seventy fabulous pieces of cake from one recipe of batter? Drenched with a heady brandy-and-rum glaze, these moist, nutmeg-scented squares don’t need garnishing. But a rosette of hard sauce assures that they are irresistible, and a family favorite.
Frosted Brownie Squares
Rich, moist, and totally chocolaty, these squares are blanketed with a sleek, satiny chocolate glaze. They are the ultimate chocolate cake/ brownie, great for a dessert platter or tea party.
Butter Horn Cookies
This is a Christmas cookie standard. It’s pastry like dough melts in your mouth, it’s powdered sugar coating announcing the great tastes that are to come. It also looks great on a plate with a variety of other holiday treats. You know the holiday’s have arrived when these confections are on your dessert plate.
Cream Wafers
These are not your typical ‘cookie jar’ cookies. They are delicate pastry-like rounds with a rich filling. A lovely addition to cookie trays for a tea or reception. They would also be a hit at any cookie exchange. Print Recipe Cream Wafers Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 10 minutes Passive Time 1 hour Servings dozen…
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
This is Jason’s favorite cookie. So much so that in my 50 year old recipe book I have crossed out the name Chocolate Crinkles and re-named them Jason’s Cookies. I have to say they are probably my favorite too. What can I say, they are CHOCOLATE, and moist and chewy and festive looking with their…
Lemon Bars
I can’t bake these Lemon Bars without thinking of my dear friends Clint and Jeannie Lemmon. They were a breath of fresh air, as are these bars. If you want light and sweet and fresh bake a pan of lemon bars and share them with someone. (or not!) Print Recipe Lemon Bars Prep Time 15…
Sugar Cookies
This is a very basic recipe used for cut-out cookies. It’s probably 100 years old but my version comes from a cook book I got for a wedding gift in 1962. Chilling the dough is the big secret to cut out cookies. Some people roll it out on a cookie sheet, cut out your cookies…
Chocolate Mousse Cake
This was my dad’s favorite dessert. Doubly delicious – part of the mousse bakes into a cake, the other part fills it. This is a spectacular grand finale. You can count on it every time. Also, note it’s flourless if that is anyone’s concern. Print Recipe Chocolate Mousse Cake Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time…
