Perogi Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm having some ladies from my homeschool group over tomorrow night....I have crackers with a cheese ball and cream cheese/red pepper jelly and I'm making cranberry walnut fudge. I feel like I need one more dessert.....Ideas? I thought about shortbread maybe but wanted to see if any of you are feeling more inspired than I! Nothing too complicated (I do have to teach my kids tomorrow, mop my floor, and get the kids to skating lessons ;) ) but tasty and complimentary to what I'm already serving. I'm thinking a square or cookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think a simple cookie would be good. Ginger snaps or snickerdoodles? Your cranberry walnut fudge sounds wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Sopapilla cheesecake 2 cans of crescent rolls 1 1/2 sticks of butter 1 1/2 c. Sugar (divided) 1 8 oz. Block cream cheese In 9 x 13 pan lay out one full can of crescent roll - if you can find the solid sheets they work best. Cream the softened cream cheese with 1 stick softened butter and 1 c sugar. Spread over crescent dough. Top with second can of crescent dough. Melt an additional 1/2 stick butter, mix with remaining 1/2 c sugar and spread over top. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Bake at 350 for 30 min. You can cool slightly and serve small squares as finger food. I prefer a big spoon and huge pan to myself, but that's just me!

I'm kind of leaning that way too....Hadn't thought of snickerdoodles! The fudge is Rachel Ray's Fudge Wreath - and if you like cranberries and walnuts it's VERY yummy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just came across that recipe - I've never made it before. It sounds amazing but I wondered if it would be too much cream cheese with the crackers and cream cheese?? (Dh says I'm waaaaaaay overthining this ;) ) If not tomorrow I am definitely making it sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamzanne Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 These Crisp Salted Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip Cookies are my favorite cookies, and I'm generally a dark chocolate person. I usually make a double or triple batch because they are gone in no time. Everyone says they are the best cookie they've ever had. Not to oversell them or anything! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I wouldnt worry about too much cream cheese. It turns out creamy and sweet - not the same texture or flavor at all. It is one dessert that I *know* will have zero leftovers ever. And it's the easiest thing ever I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
