Figured we could start a topic with some great dessert recipes to share with eachother that we could use during the holidays to make some baked goods for company or those cookie exchanges we may be involved in

Cookies, cakes, bars, anything else would be awesome :)

    Ice cream sandwiches
    Take 2 chocolate graham crackers- spoon a few scoops of Lite Cool Whip in between (dont remember...does it come in just lite or fat free? anyway- pick whatever you want! lol) ....wrap it up in aluminum foil, and FREEZE!!! Make a whole bunch at a time so they are ready when you are....and they seriously taste like a real ice cream sandwhich!!! Just without all the guilt!!! :) Enjoy~



    Strawberry Cheese Bites

    1 (8 oz.) Package Fat Free Cream Cheese, softened
    1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
    2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
    44 Medium Strawberries, whole
    1/2 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs

    In a small mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy, set aside. Using a paring knife, hollow out the top of each strawberry to a depth of approx. 3/4 an inch. Gently fill each with cream cheese mixture using a pastry bag just slightly above the tops. Place them on a cookie sheet(s) as you do this. Once all of the strawberries are filled, dip each top into the graham cracker crumbs and place back onto the cookie sheet(s). Place the cookie sheet(s) into the refrigerator and leave them for a few hours or over night to completely chill.

    Spice Cookies
    Here is a simple recipe from the WW's camp that makes really good cookies that are loaded with antioxidants because of the pumpkin used instead of eggs and oil.

    1 box Duncan Hines spice cake mix
    1 can pumpkin

    Mix well and drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheet coated lightly with Pam spray. bake at 350 degrees for about 27 min's. this usually makes 19 to 20 cookies @ about 125 calories per cookie.

    Just made those peanutbutter cookies...EXCELLENT! I had use regular brown sugar instead of the other stuff, so a little more extra calories. I also halved it, so that I wouldn't eat as many :)

    Thanks!

    This cheesecake is ALWAYS well received: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000224920

    It's from Cooking Light, but it's still cheesecake...

    Also: Cooking Light's Tiramisu Anacapri gets snarfled up when I bring it to a function.... and it's not as bad as regular tiramisu....

    It allows you to come back later and find the thread easily. It places it under the "My Topics" link.
