Like Fig Newtons you’ll love these! Are these a knock off? Nope! But the texture and flavor are similar. These are just better. I’m not just saying … I’m guaranteeing! My little fig tree only gave up enough for this recipe, and a few extra for a wine accompaniment. Use a cup … to a cup and a half for those who want a fully packed fig bar. Just amazing!
Chai Meltaways says it all! Doesn’t that sound like the perfect cookie! It’s worth purchasing chai spice (rather than putting it together yourself) simply because the proportion and combination of spices is done for you & it’s a lot cheaper than purchasing all the spices you need separately. I’ve found King Arthur Flour is pretty reasonable with pricing and I trust their products. This has a 5-star rating. Check it out here. This cookie just has an amazing flavor and texture. I can’t wait to move on to cakes and muffins with this spice combination.
How about this for dessert tonight! Really simple. Really Delicious. Just about the fruit. This one is Blueberry. My fav berry! One of my favorites (Thanks Will!) made this with his favorite go-to recipe guru. That’s a lot of favorites!!
Check out the simple recipe here.
And Happy Fourth!
Yes, I’m busy today. How’s Fried Sweet Pickles sound!
Great recipe choices for the Fourth! Just click for the recipes!
Very proud of this makeover. It’s a makeover for two reasons. I’ve used leftover cake crumbs, and secondly, this cookie is a cousin to a Hermit bar. This all came about while reminiscing with a friend about an old town bakery long gone. Their Fruit Bar, no confirmation by the owner, was whipped up with leftover cake crumbs. I’d never heard of such a thing … replacing flour with cake crumbs. I guess this is a practice in some bakeries. I say when the outcome is like this one, DO IT. Thank you Debbie!
Why is it when I have a great recipe to show off I can’t seem to get a great picture!
A very hard dessert bar to beat! Replace lemon juice with 1 T Limoncello Liqueur and add a few pinches of lemon zest. You have Limoncello Bars. Want even more Limoncello replace a bit of the cream. Click here for my Cheesecake Bar Recipe.
Amazingly simple topping for cakes, cookies, pies, ice cream, fruit, fruit ices, crepes. You get the picture! I love lemon and chocolate … And have served my topping over a brownie crust ice cream pie. Sounds time consuming? Simply bake your brownie recipe in a pie plate, cool, spread with softened ice cream or sorbet, and refrigerate for two hours before serving with the cooled Limoncello topping. That’s it! I have a couple of brownie recipes if you need one, Blondies and Brownies. If you use a boxed mix my suggestion is Ghirardelli or Barefoot Contessa just as noted in Cook’s Illustrated.
Our ice cream is melting in our 103 heat … So let’s get on to the recipe.
This looks more like a drink. Just a teaser until the dessert is finished. Try it! Limoncello
Pound Cake is so versatile. It’s a year around treat but in our family berry season is the most popular. It easily becomes a strawberry shortcake, or we slather it with whipped cream and an assortment of unsweetened berries. Then there’s George who really prefers no topping. That speaks volumes about this recipe.
Try these simple but delicious pies for the Holiday! Pound Cake with berries is on our menu but not yet ready. HAPPY WEEKEND
