Baked Sunday Mornings: Banana Mousse Parfaits

This was way too easy....I feel like I am cheating somehow!  I layered mine with the leftover crumbled up Cream Cheese Chocolate Snacking Cookies that I had in the freezer!  

Yummy!

Happy Summer!

Grandma Hutchinson's Molasses Cookies

A treasured recipe from my great grandmother.  This is the first time I have made these cookies. The recipe wanted the cookies to be rolled out and cut, but my dough was far too soft to do that...sooooo,  I just rolled out balls and flattened them with a bottom of a fancy glass.  I think they turned out really pretty and quite tasty too.  They are very soft and the molasses flavor really shines through!  

I am bringing them to our Hutchinson family picnic.  I hope everyone will enjoy this beautiful little cookie that has been handed down through the family.

  If you like a soft molasses cookie then this one is for you!

Enjoy!

Baked Sunday Mornings: Mississippi Mud Pie

This is the last recipe from the Baked Exploration Cookbook!  Congratulations to all the bakers who completed the entire book...that is quite an accomplishment.  I missed quite a few of them because I joined the group after it was started, but I must say I have enjoyed every bake I have done with this fun, wacky talented group of bakers!

I decided to cut the recipe in half and make individual little mud pies.  I just lined my cupcake pan and forged ahead!  It was easy and it made luscious little pies just ready for a little snack or tasty dessert right from the freezer.  

This recipe was extremely easy and took no time at all.

I suggest you try it today!

Please look at the beautiful pies the others did here.

Then go and get the recipe here.

We will now be solely baking from the Baked Elements cookbook every other week.  Next up is Cream Cheese Chocolate Snacking Cookies.  How good does that sound!

Until then,

Enjoy!
