Very Vanilla Pudding Cookies- Sweet Bella Roos

They might be the best cookies I’ve ever eaten… and I’ve eaten my fair share of cookies. And maybe yours. These cookies are light and fluffy, with a perfect vanilla flavor. I love it when I can’t decide if a cookie tastes better hot from the oven or on the second day. When still warm they tasted like the cookie form of vanilla pudding. Once upon a time I wanted to make vanilla pudding all by myself.

Cinnamon Sugar Cookies - Sweet Bella Roos. Now I know what you’re thinking… you’re thinking that Cinnamon Sugar Cookies = Snickerdoodles.

Cinnamon Sugar Cookies - Sweet Bella Roos

Well, kind of. I actually set out to make Snickerdoodles but ended up with Cinnamon Sugar Cookies instead. I had all of my ingredients out and ready to go, but when it came time to add the cinnamon and sugar, I accidentally added it to the mixture instead of setting it aside to roll the dough in before baking.

Brownie Cupcakes. This is a Brownie with a dry cracked crust, a wonderfully moist texture, and a deep chocolate flavor.

Brownie Cupcakes

Brownies are often classified as "fudgy" or "cakey", yet I would describe this brownie as a cross between the two. They are wonderful plain or I often serve them for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The beauty of this Brownie is that it is made using just one bowl. First you melt the chocolate with the butter and then, one by one, you stir in the rest of the ingredients. You do not have to pull out your electric mixer, all you need is a wire whisk and spatula (or wooden spoon). Now, the challenge with all Brownies is how long they should be baked.

Marshmallow Fondant Recipe - How to Make Marshmallow Fondant - Marshmallow Fondant

It’s simple to make, and many prefer the taste over regular fondant, since it tastes like very sweet marshmallows. You can use marshmallow fondant as you would regular fondant, to cover cakes, form shapes, and make candy. Be warned that it tends to get sticky in moist places, so it doesn’t hold up as well as regular fondant when placed over frosting and refrigerated for days. This recipe yields 1 1/2 lbs of fondant, and can easily be halved or doubled. Marshmallow fluff frosting. Apps. Mini Crescent Dogs Recipe.

They even remind us of sports-bar food ... like little deconstructed potato skins. (Image credit: Emma Christensen) We decided to make these after countless evenings munching on these bacon-wrapped dates, which are also very yummy, but got us thinking about other things we could wrap in bacon.

My favorite late night indulgence is salami and cream cheese on crackers. Salty cured sausage, sweet creamy cheese, crisp buttery crackers, served with a refreshing chilled beverage...doesn't get much better than that! However there are a few problems translating this delicious little snack into the ideal appetizer for a crowd. The traditional method of applying cream cheese to the cracker and adding a piece of salami results in a soggy cracker if left in the refrigerator for any length of time.

The sodden cracker was the most important hurdle to overcome, but then came the painstaking effort and endless trials I had to put myself and the family through to get the salami to cheese ratio just right. Somehow we endured and these addictive little roll-ups have solved all the problems inherent to serving these tasty tidbits to guests, as a bonus they came out rather beautiful in the process.
