December 8

Yes I had a busy weekend and that is why I am typing all of these recipes today/tonight.
I made cookies for a Youth Choir concert for my Church, then cookies for a work cookie exchange.

I picked over 2 grocery bags of lemons off my tree this weekend so I made Lemon Shortbread cookies with Lemon Frosting.  They are so yum yum yummy.  That fresh lemon zest you just can't beat it. It is so fresh and citrusy it is a beautiful aroma.  Just breath in slowly, can you smell that tart/sweet crisp lemon smell?  Aww.

I then made cookies with my cookie press, they are small but so cute and not too sweet.  Not many ingredients that make these little goodies.

I also made Pizzelle's an Italian/German cookie. Here is my German Heritage. They are so light and crunchy you can eat 10 and not realize it.  They don't take long but you need to watch them so they don't burn .

If there is any one of these that you want the recipe for just leave me a note on here.

Thank you

These are the Lemon Shortbread

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
