Lemon Coconut Pixies by BearNakedBaker

I shape ( using an ice cream scoop #40) my cookies right after dough is made and then refrigerate.

Dazzling, Skinny Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Deep dark chocolate batter embraces chunks of ruby-colored cherries in this elegant cake. The light crimson glaze adds a touch of blush to the top and the overall flavor hints of chocolate-covered cherries. This is another one of my “no time to bake” cakes because I’m starting with a cake mix. Although there are a lot of ingredients…

Raspberry Topped Poppy Seed Cookies by Salad Foodie

A perfect dainty cookie for tea time, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or other special occasion. Buttery-rich, pretty and easy to make.

Almond Biscotti by Salad Foodie

Crunchy biscotti are my go-to coffee dunkers. The sweet toasts make a perfect hostess or holiday gift besides. This recipe features almonds but pecans or hazelnuts would be fine, with vanilla extract in place of almond.

Chocolate Fudge Cake (or Cupcakes) by Salad Foodie

Both batter and frosting are made with cocoa in this chocolate lover’s delight. Not as rich as Texas Sheet Cake, the recipe is a good choice for a birthday chocolate cake, so you can still have room for ice cream! An interesting side note - the texture of the cake only improves with age, and it slices and serves better too! Make it…

Banana Split Cupcakes by Cupcake Vixen

A yummy treat for anytime of the year!

Budget Bisquik Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies by Wendi Taylor

No eggs. No milk. Ingredients you have on-hand. Yup, this recipe was born of innovation late one night when I wanted something sweet. And, at a cost of less than 10 cents per cookie, they're perfect for bake sales or parties. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger batches and is VERY forgiving of variations. Try…

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

Moist and chewy, these will help satisfy your choco-holic inclinations. Baking chocolate rather than cocoa gives a richer color and flavor than cocoa, and coconut help keep them moist.

Saucepan Chocolate Sheet Cake by Salad Foodie

A large saucepan can be used to prepare both the batter and the frosting of this sheet cake. Sour cream adds moisture and a more tender texture. This recipe makes enough for a large group or potluck.

Plain Old Oatmeal Cookies by Kevin Olomon

I have enjoyed oatmeal cookies with cinnamon, ginger and other dessert spices added to the dough and while they are perfectly delicious, this dough doesn’t include them. I find I personally prefer an undistracted cookie that highlights the simple toastiness of the oats and the rich brown sugar- but you may certainly throw in the…

Favorite Jam Bars for a Large Group by myra byanka

Most people make these with raspberry jam, but any one works. I like blackberry or apricot. This makes a lot of squares, but they will disappear. Cut recipe in half, if you're not baking for a large group, and use a 9x9 pan.

Spiced Sesame Bar Cookies by Salad Foodie

Miniature chewy bars with a foreign and exotic flair make a special sweet with coffee or tea. Sesame seeds form a nut-like crust to bottom and top of the moist spicy bars. A little challenging to fill the pan without disturbing the bottom sesame layer, but a labor of love for a special occasion cookie.

Ruby Red Strawberry Pie by Salad Foodie

Couldn't be an easier pie to make - and perfect for summer's lighter menu fare. A nice do-ahead gelatin dessert that takes just minutes to prepare. You can "have your pie and eat it too" for less than 150 calories per slice when you make a few changes to the recipe below: just substitute no-added-sugar gelatin, reduced-fat graham…
