<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter on medium speed until smooth. Add sugars and beat until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">

5. Let cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, transfer to cooling rack or foil to finish cooling. My favorite way to eat them is warm with a tall glass of milk.

I just had myself a little baking night with my friend, Ellen Griffin and she decided to make these. I'm so glad she did because this recipe is a keeper for sure. It's a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe, but we replaced chocolate chips with white chocolate chips and craisins. You use whatever you please, because this recipe is just good no matter what you put in it. I wasn't expecting these to be worth blogging because I already have a few basic cookie recipes on here, but I was wrong. So that means I didn't take step-by-step pictures. I apologize.

The only way I can think of to describe it is the texture of peanut butter and the taste of a graham cracker. I don't know one person that doesn't get addicted after the first time they try it, so be very careful. I've eaten a whole jar in 4 days.. that's embarrassing. Anyways, I discovered this deliciousness in October and they JUST now got it in Bowling Green. Embarrassing once again, but every time I was out of town I would check numerous grocery stores until I found it. I just had to get my hands on this stuff as much as I could. Now that I have talked biscoff up so much, I hope you love it. Since I am so fond of it, I decided to bake with it. Biscoff mission number one: no bake cookies. These are super sweet, super rich and taste as they are supposed to, an oatmeal biscoff cookie. I loved these and this may seem odd, but I think I would rather eat biscoff straight from the jar over cookie form. Since I saw these on pinterest, I just had to make them. Here's what you'll need</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAhByA8pTXVCh-_4CfxT9vEk_ISER4j5PAJo9vsQbbpS_oayzX6CwXo8vY2Rg7CRz4syzhsi9YQEhhxygdF8_4Er2QXYvwHZ7wlgKHvRrvRnxcpXqYImbw-lCOVVMbxTOjhfJR0xXyt8t5/s1600/IMG_0221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAhByA8pTXVCh-_4CfxT9vEk_ISER4j5PAJo9vsQbbpS_oayzX6CwXo8vY2Rg7CRz4syzhsi9YQEhhxygdF8_4Er2QXYvwHZ7wlgKHvRrvRnxcpXqYImbw-lCOVVMbxTOjhfJR0xXyt8t5/s400/IMG_0221.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Butter, sugar, vanilla, milk, oats, and of course biscoff.

I love cooking, but I just don't cook as much as I bake. I'm trying to fix that a little, so for starters, I'll make fattening, creamy, delicious dips. This is called 'The Perfect Super Bowl Dip' on pinterest, but I didn't make it for the super bowl and it was still perfect :) Everyone loved it and there were no left-overs.

8 ounces Italian sausage<br />
1/2 cup chopped onion<br />
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper<br />
2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened<br />
1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese<br />
1/4 cup milk<br />
1/4 cup mayonnaise<br />
1/4 cup sour cream<br />
2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves<br />
1/3 cup mild banana peppers, drained and chopped<br />
<br />
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion, red pepper, and garlic until sausage is browned, stirring often; drain off fat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, Parmesan, milk, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Add sausage mixture and banana peppers; gently stir to combine. Fold in spinach leaves. Spread the mixture into a greased dish (about a 9x13). Sprinkle with more shredded cheese, if desired. Bake about 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Serve with chips, crackers, bread, or veggies.

My reasoning behind this, there are lots of single girls who want a boyfriend and are depressed so they eat lots of sugar in hopes that their sad feelings will go away. Anyways, I know girls like dessert more than ever around this day, so I make extra girly things. One thing among the many are white chocolate butter bars, AKA: White Chocolate Chess Cake Squares, Gooey Butter Cake, etc. I'm sure you've tried this wonderful dessert, or at least have heard of it. I first saw it a few years back when I was watching a Paula Deen episode. I made them as soon as the credits came on. They have been a go-to dessert since. The only difference in these and regular chess squares is that I added white chocolate chips. You can leave them out, but I love me some white chocolate.

My guinea pig (aka: my mom), requested something fruity and cream cheese. I didn't have the time or patients for a cheesecake, so I just kept looking at 'pins' until one recipe caught my eye. It's a raspberry cream cheese crumble coffee cake. I am so glad I stumbled across this recipe. I changed it a little to make it my own, and it's one of my new favorites. It's pretty sweet so it works as breakfast or dessert. My mom took some to her bible study and it was gone when she came home, which always makes me feel good! So I really recommend making it soon. ps- it has a lot of ingredients and steps, but I promise it is super easy! Here's what you'll need</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDJ2BV3R0tvNaHKO_KlsGn0ltmAmk61fsxzs9Dl6uDoj3x-fQbSmjBt4Irag9PGxYbhezqARr828STVHUVn8-e78lzC0qH7anWtp0oUSDgTFtfFNWjC7KUl2o9mtsKa7PU2qwdK2Fsg6s/s1600/IMG_0054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDJ2BV3R0tvNaHKO_KlsGn0ltmAmk61fsxzs9Dl6uDoj3x-fQbSmjBt4Irag9PGxYbhezqARr828STVHUVn8-e78lzC0qH7anWtp0oUSDgTFtfFNWjC7KUl2o9mtsKa7PU2qwdK2Fsg6s/s400/IMG_0054.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Butter, sugar, eggs, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, sour cream, oil, milk, cream cheese, and of course you're favorite flavor jam.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>Cake:</b></i><br />
¼ cup oil <br />
½ stick unsalted butter, melted<br />
2 TB sour cream<br />
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour<br />
½ cup + 2 TB granulated white sugar <br />
1 tsp baking powder <br />
½ tsp salt <br />
1 egg <br />
½ cup + 2 TB milk or half & half <br />
2 tsp vanilla extract </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a separate, microwavable bowl, melt the butter. Add in all the remaining ingredients and whisk together until there are no lumps. Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture. Fold these mixtures together by hand until just combined. Scoop batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Spread out evenly; set aside. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Cream cheese mixture:</i></b><br />
8 ounces cream cheese, softened<br />
1 egg yolk<br />
3 TB sugar</div><div style="text-align: left;">1 tsp. vanilla extract</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Spread evenly over the uncooked cake batter; set aside.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Fruit layer:</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">1 jar of your favorite flavor jam (raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, etc.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pour jam/jelly over the cream cheese mixture and carefully spread out, being careful not to mix the jam into the cream cheese mixture; set aside. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>Crumb topping:</b></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">1 cup flour<br />
1 cup packed brown sugar<br />
¾ tsp salt</div><div style="text-align: left;">1 tsp cinnamon<br />
1 stick unsalted butter, sliced in TB</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until combined. Add the cubed butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or 2 knives.. or your hands. Whatever floats your boat. Once your mixture resembles course crumbles, sprinkle it over the jam layer, completely covering the cake. Pop in the oven at 350 degrees. Bake about 30-40 minutes, testing with a butter knife to check if it is done. It will be pretty buttery on top from the crumb topping, but that just makes it even better. Cool before serving. If desired or for decoration, serve with an extra scoop of jam on top and a glass of milk. Store left-over's in the fridge up to three days.</div>sweet tooth sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00540935845928133705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712052431820581398.post-24004180160012786042012-02-01T12:40:00.000-08:002012-02-01T12:40:35.357-08:00PB&J Blondies<div style="text-align: center;">I don't know if yall have figured it out yet, but my sister and I are kinda obsessed with peanut butter and jelly combo.

We have been baking more than ever, but we had some technical difficulties.. First, I broke the camera.. so I couldn't take pictures. Then, we couldn't access the blog because we have conflicting accounts or something. Too complicated for me, but I somehow found determination to figure it out! So here we are, better late than never, right? Onto, food.. the other night my mom was having the usual sweet tooth, and as usual it was my duty to fulfill it. So I go look around the pantry trying to figure out something new and creative. She wanted white chocolate, there were some oreo's I felt the need to get rid of, and what goes better with oreo's than peanut butter? So, I grabbed the jar of peanut butter as well. Then I was feeling really unhealthy, so I added oatmeal.. problem solved. What do you get when you throw all of that together? A white chocolate oatmeal peanut butter oreo cookie. That's right. Weird I know, but I am telling you.. these flavors were amazing together. Here's what you'll need to make this crazy thing</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gcpQKats57gkWNN4Wk1KCQ94dQ8cxsrrM6VU5GCsFF7rtMzi7cXxrnjjONiy7d4BofS4N8D00lm80jXuiNFTpnkjDO2QuIhDjKnPqAfA0mmFbusmGZlqvF9OJ6YhRPb8b5MCw3E8zuMd/s1600/IMG_0003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gcpQKats57gkWNN4Wk1KCQ94dQ8cxsrrM6VU5GCsFF7rtMzi7cXxrnjjONiy7d4BofS4N8D00lm80jXuiNFTpnkjDO2QuIhDjKnPqAfA0mmFbusmGZlqvF9OJ6YhRPb8b5MCw3E8zuMd/s400/IMG_0003.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Butter, peanut butter, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, flour, baking soda, oats, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and oreo's!

1 cup of old fashioned oats<br />
1/2 teaspoons baking soda<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1 stick of unsalted butter<br />
1/3 cup of your favorite peanut butter<br />
1 cup brown sugar<br />
1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />
1 egg + 1 egg yolk<br />
1 Tablespoon vanilla <br />
1/2 cup white chocolate chips<br />
1/2 cup peanut butter chips<br />
10 oreo cookies, chopped (may use more or less)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add butter and peanut butter to a large microwave safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals until melted; stir together well. Let cool. Add both sugars, mixing well. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until mixed. Add remaining ingredients and fold in until a dough forms – it will look crumbly at first, but it will come together. I even used my hands to bring it all together. If necessary, add 2 teaspoons of milk, but I did not need this. Scoop the dough into balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the middle is no longer gooey. Do not over bake. Let cool on baking sheet about a minute, transfer to foil or cooling wrack. Serve warm or cool completely.

I'm sorry guys, I just can't help it. It's still kind of warm, but time for fall, so what suites this weather better than pumpkin ice cream? I started off with a basic cake batter ice cream recipe, added pumpkin, and tweaked some other ingredients too. This ice cream ended up being really light and fluffy and the cake batter flavor isn't super strong or overpowering. Everybody loved it at the soup party! AND, this goes perfect with the Caramel Apple Cake: <a href="http://kysweettoothsisters.blogspot.com/2011/09/caramel-apple-cake.html">http://kysweettoothsisters.blogspot.com/2011/09/caramel-apple-cake.html</a><br />

I had half of the can left from the bread so these were necessary to make so the pumpkin wouldn't go to waste. I love blondies and pumpkin, so I made these right when I saw the recipe. The outcome was positive. The pumpkin makes the texture some what bready, so they didn't have the chewy blondie texture I was expecting, but that wasn't a bad thing, just different. Then of course, I had to add frosting and I just happened to have some cream cheese icing already made up in the fridge. I highly recommend these, especially if you need some help getting in the fall spirit :) Here's what you'll need</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuqlITZynZFQ1jq4EbA36JgShWOUjzak4m_JZAPDv7w78pLUediVvHx8Ksu8Q5gaZFJHHg09o_SMM7DzCb4X2u85n_Cp_thUBjbJcI9ME-vBF7XYFst3hfqSKJVBBx9zZIZGq5NPeX0PMP/s1600/IMG_3457.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuqlITZynZFQ1jq4EbA36JgShWOUjzak4m_JZAPDv7w78pLUediVvHx8Ksu8Q5gaZFJHHg09o_SMM7DzCb4X2u85n_Cp_thUBjbJcI9ME-vBF7XYFst3hfqSKJVBBx9zZIZGq5NPeX0PMP/s400/IMG_3457.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Butter, brown sugar, vanilla, an egg, pumpkin, flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt, cinnamon chips, white chocolate chips, and pecans.

When I started making the frosting they were both still hard, but I just beat them together for a while with the mixer and believe it or not, cream cheese frosting has never turned out better for me.) Mix in the vanilla. Lastly, add the powdered sugar about a cup at a time, beating well after each addition and making sure there are no lumps. Spread over the cooled blondies.

I put blueberries in them this time, but you can do whatever you would like. Sometimes we mix it up and leave them plain, or do my favorite combo, chocolate chip pancakes with peanut butter and syrup.. yum.

The first time I had it was when Ellen Griffin brought over a huge slice of it to our house. I'm so thankful for that day.. not being dramatic, just honest. It's her mom (Cindy Griffins) recipe and she was nice enough to share it with us :) This is definitely sweet tooth sisters go-to cake. It is devoured every time we make it, no matter how many people contribute to stuffing their faces. I have a friend who doesn't like chocolate, but loves this cake. I also have a friend who doesn't like cake, but guess what.. she loves this cake. Credit for the best cake ever goes to Cindy Griffin. Thanks so much! We know we can't make it as good as hers, but we try our hardest! I am confident you will fall in love with this cake.

Now it's time to assemble your cake. Cut the cooled cake layers in half to make 2 layers. Carefully pick up half of the cut layer and place it on the serving plate you're using. Slap some frosting on top. Spread it around evenly and lay the other half of the layer on. Repeat until all 6 layers have been stacked. Use the remaining frosting to cover the tops and outside of the cake. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. I guarantee this cake will be a huge hit.

It's like 2 in 1. Perfect. You can do any type of cheesecake or cake combination you like. For example, chocolate cake with peanut butter cheesecake. This is one of my most asked for desserts, it looks impressive, but it's actually pretty simple. Let's start out with the cheesecake layer. Here's what you'll need</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFREa35ulbMEVo34M8JdPa0nmNezEzST1quFW02pv3DKpAELAOECll3-hushHtz4Pix1gn-CdQzLq8krz3eHHp_RmYYzBkvICPUGgMZQfFtTIwFNMbOe07l8TcFKetDsnpdjt8SrrFuxqa/s1600/IMG_3235.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFREa35ulbMEVo34M8JdPa0nmNezEzST1quFW02pv3DKpAELAOECll3-hushHtz4Pix1gn-CdQzLq8krz3eHHp_RmYYzBkvICPUGgMZQfFtTIwFNMbOe07l8TcFKetDsnpdjt8SrrFuxqa/s400/IMG_3235.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A boat load of cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and sour cream.

Refrigerate about 2 hours. While the baked cheesecake is chilling, prepare the cake layer. I've already made this exact red velvet cake recipe in cupcakes so I didn't take pictures. Here's the link to the recipe <a href="http://kysweettoothsisters.blogspot.com/2011/04/red-velvet-cupcakes.html">http://kysweettoothsisters.blogspot.com/2011/04/red-velvet-cupcakes.html</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The only thing you need to do differently is use 2 round cake pans (what ever size the springform pan is. For example, if you are using a 9-inch springform pan for the cheesecake, you should use 9-inch cake pans for the cake.) Once you have baked your cakes, flip them out of the pans onto wax paper lined cooling racks to cool completely. Now for the last step before assembling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. I've also made cream cheese frosting before so I didn't take step by step pictures of this process either. It shows how to make it in the same link above. Sorry if all of that was super confusing, I did the best I could.. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So you now have all 3 parts of the dessert made and ready to go. It's time to assemble your red velvet cake cheesecake! Place one layer of the red velvet cake on the serving plate you are going to use. Cover with 1/4 of the cream cheese frosting</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUzlHIvVknPPl9jESmwbldqvUCdgq1-d3lTElsLhOm3gG_cCGHgxQEV_Vex3Ax6hyphenhyphen3vahRURGNfIna-k59GK2LDnHl2pm3F6PGHFG6G1b-aENEoQyPN4Rtg_LuZXBD6OwJ4hj4b0CZjl4/s1600/IMG_3244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUzlHIvVknPPl9jESmwbldqvUCdgq1-d3lTElsLhOm3gG_cCGHgxQEV_Vex3Ax6hyphenhyphen3vahRURGNfIna-k59GK2LDnHl2pm3F6PGHFG6G1b-aENEoQyPN4Rtg_LuZXBD6OwJ4hj4b0CZjl4/s400/IMG_3244.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Set the cheesecake gently on top of the frosting. Be VERY careful, the cheesecake could split in half, not speaking from personal experience or anything... Now slab on a layer of frosting over the cheesecake. This is a little tricky because the cheesecake is slick</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTfOjZKDebGWho1TLG3XZL1hCSBs6J8TG_8d3BpFel8Wf76Cgnjd_ci0mK_yG93KUnz9eQQaXKo_vw9kkYxJFoNPbN0hpbGlHYZX6rDP1I_kNcKFVaCUaTjtLYtcCWLI_HB-VDqr98_1Z/s1600/IMG_3246.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTfOjZKDebGWho1TLG3XZL1hCSBs6J8TG_8d3BpFel8Wf76Cgnjd_ci0mK_yG93KUnz9eQQaXKo_vw9kkYxJFoNPbN0hpbGlHYZX6rDP1I_kNcKFVaCUaTjtLYtcCWLI_HB-VDqr98_1Z/s400/IMG_3246.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now stack on the last cake layer and frost all the tops and sides of the cake cheesecake. If desired you can decorate it somehow. I chopped white bakers chocolate and covered the sides and tops in the chopped chocolate.
