Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie by Salad Foodie

How about a foot-wide chocolate chip cookie for a party or gift? This treat is quick and easily portable. Chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I like this one especially. It’s Wilton’s Chocolate Chip Cookie For Giant Cookie Pans, and never fails for me to bake to chewy perfection. Add a few icing decorations or pieces of candy…

"Ice Cream" Frosting by J. Gino Genovesi

I have made this many times and have had positive reactions, especially when people are told it is made with flour. It is easy to make; costs little and is pleasing to the taste. Use of creamed fruits makes it even more delightful.. It is labor saving. It is great used on cupcakes also .

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

A different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly.

Spice Nut Bundt Cake with Lemon Glaze by Salad Foodie

A sassy lemon glaze sets off this spice Bundt cake. It fits the bill for morning coffee or afternoon breaktime, and keeps well several days refrigerated. If you don't have cardamom spice just replace with an equivalent amount of allspice and cloves.

Gingerbread cake addicts, rejoice - this recipe makes the right size gingerbread cake for a crowd! Lightly moist and lightly sweet, this version I developed over time is a good fit for a holiday dessert or treat for company. I like just a dusting of powdered sugar rather than a frosting. It’s my gingerbread cake FAV - hope you’ll try…

Roasted Banana Bars with Browned Butter Pecan Frosting by Salad Foodie

This recipe was a finalist in Cooking Light Magazine's "Twenty-five Favorite Dessert Recipes" several years ago. The notion of roasting a banana intrigued me so I was up to the challenge of trying it out. MY VERDICT: THEY ARE VERY TASTY AND I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN. However, they are more cake-like than bar-like, and the extra steps,…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars by Salad Foodie

An oatmeal streusel mixture serves as both crust and topping in this delightfully chewy cookie bar. The secret ingredient in the filling is purchased caramel topping. These bars are very sweet so cutting them in smaller portion sizes is appropriate. It just extends the sublime enjoyment of the treats - unless you just keep snitching…
