Itsy Bitsy Paper: . . . Cookie Time Tuesday-Funfetti Sandwich Cookies . . . With back to school here I have been trying to think of school treat ideas for both the teacher's and the my son's classmates. I ran across this recipe on Baked Perfection and I thought of how great it would be to serve at a birthday party or class party because of the fun colors. I also know they make funfetti cake mixes with holiday colors so it would be a fun cookie to serve at a holiday party. They are so soft and moist and make for an awesome sandwich cookie. I hope you enjoy them and let the kiddos help do the rolling in the sprinkles--that is always a big hit with them. You will need: 1 (18.25) package Funfetti Cake 2 eggs 1/3 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 container vanilla frosting to make sandwich filling • Gather ingredients • Pour everything except vanilla frosting into a bowl • Mix well to combine • Drop by even spoonsfuls onto an ungreased or silpat/parchment paper lined baking sheet • Bake • Let cool completely then frost the bottom of one cookie
Banana Split Bites Banana Split Bites ~ A classic ice cream dessert gets mini for some bite size fun. And yes, there is actually a tiny scoop of ice cream tucked inside and underneath the whip cream of those little darlings. Banana Split Mini Bites For once I made something mini for portion control and not just for the cute factor. My little guy had some friends over the other day and of course with a mom who is a baker, the expectation is dessert will not only be good but it will be fun. Keeping all things in mind what I served is what you see here. Here’s what wasn’t a hit and what I learned. Impromptu play dates with four kid’s ages 3-5 year olds after a full work day –not a good idea.Know in advance what other kids will and won’t eat. Luckily, dessert made all things right. No recipe just a few notes: Use firm bananas and cut into 1 inch sections. Leave a Comment

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies Alright, confession time. My first impression of these cookies was not a super positive one. I mean, don’t get me wrong…I love a good chocolate chip cookie. And Oreos easily top the list among my favorite “store bought” cookies. The idea of combining them just threw me. When I first saw this Oreo creation on Picky Palate I thought they looked a little gross (sorry Jenny). I am really not even sure how to describe these. Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe from the fantabulous Jenny of Picky Palate 2 sticks (1 cup) softened butter 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon pure vanilla 3 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 10 oz bag chocolate chips 1 pkg. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking soda. NOTE: Some bakers have had some trouble with their dough spreading too much during baking. Makes about 2 dozen VERY LARGE cookies. stumble
