Our favorite in a year rich with cookies, these adorable little balls look like nothing found in any store. They melt in your mouth, leaving behind a lovely citric freshness. Roll them in brightly colored sanding sugar to make them twinkle like vintage ornaments. Magic Bars Recipe. Magic Bars, also known as Hello Dollys, live up to the adage that bar cookies are the easiest of all the cookies to make.
This recipe, or maybe we shouldn't even call it a recipe as it is so little work, is just about layering and baking six ingredients; melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, flaked or shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts (or pecans), and a can of sweetened condensed milk (in that order). I guess the "magic" comes in the fact that six layers of ingredients, with no mixing, can almost "magically" turn into a cohesive bar. While I must admit they are not much to look at, they are deliciously sweet and gooey with wonderfully crisp edges.
Magic Bars seem to get even better tasting after a day or two in the refrigerator. This is a great recipe to add to your Christmas baking repertoire or to keep them in mind for the next time you need to make something for a bake sale or potluck supper. Icebox Cookies Recipe. Icebox Cookies: In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt and then add to the butter and egg mixture. Mix just until a dough forms. Stir in the cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Divide the dough into thirds. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the center of the oven. Using a thin bladed knife, slice the logs into 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick slices. Black & White Cookies Recipe.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt. S'Mores Recipe. You don't need a campfire to make a Smore, and you certainly don't need to be a child to enjoy eating one. A Smore (or S'more) takes roasted marshmallows and pieces of chocolate and sandwiches them between two graham crackers. Credit for inventing this sweet and gooey snack goes to the Girl Scouts of America who included a recipe in their 1927 Girl Scout Handbook. The name "S'more" comes from their tasting so good that after eating one, people were said to ask for "some more". In the States we honor the Smore by celebrating "National S'more Day" on August 10 (although it's not an official holiday). Now eating a Smore can be messy business, which makes it perfect food for eating outside around a campfire.
Of course, store bought miniature marshmallows are perfectly acceptable in these Smores especially when you are short on time. Note: If you live in a country where graham crackers are unavailable, use crushed Digestive Biscuits. Red Velvet Whoopie Pies Recipe. Red Velvet Whoopie Pies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place oven rack in the center of the oven.

Beat in the vanilla extract.
Bake for about 9-10 minutes or until the tops of the cookies, when lightly pressed, spring back (or a toothpick inserted into the center of a cookie comes out clean). Cream Cheese Filling: Beat the butter until smooth and creamy. To Assemble: Take one cookie and spread a heaping tablespoon of the filling on the flat side of the cookie. Thumbprint Cookies Recipe. Thumbprint Cookies: In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
