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 :)

    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....
