Chocolate Cookie Dough No-Bake Cheesecake

Monday, June 4, 2012

I've eaten probably more than my share of cookie dough in my lifetime. If I'm making cookies, you can safely wager that I'll be trying at least a bite of unbaked dough. Of course, we all know that eating cookie dough is not the best of ideas. But, I bet I'm not the only one who's guilty. There's some great news for those of us who like to sample from the mixing bowl. Lindsay of the fabulous Love and Olive Oil has a brand new cookbook just for us. It's called The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook, and it's packed with recipes for cookies, cakes, and other treats. Every recipe has a cookie dough component that's made without eggs. So, we get to have our cookie dough fix the right way. Keep reading for a chance to win your own copy of The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook.

I've never been a huge fan of pound cake. I like it just fine and definitely wouldn't turn down a slice. (Although, when given a choice, I'll go chocolate just about every time.) But, in the case of this one, there's pound cake and then there's pound cake.

Cream Cheese Shortbread-Dulce de Leche Sandwich Cookies

Have you ever found a cookie recipe that sounds so good that you decide on the spot not only to make them immediately, but to double the recipe? That's the position I found myself in when I found this recipe from One Girl Cookies. Here's the breakdown. The cookies are a soft, light, chewy shortbread packed with nuts and flavored with our good friend cream cheese. While the original recipe lists walnuts, I opted for pecans. (Insert your shocked comments here.) If we just stopped there, I would be as happy as could be. These little cookies are so flavorful to have such a short list of ingredients.

I don't deal well with failure. Quinn likes to say that I would have made a terrible scientist. I like things to work well the first time. When working on a recipe, sometimes you have to accept failure, learn from it, and try to make changes to make it work. Then there are the other times. The times when everything goes just as it should and the outcome is just as you'd hoped. This is one of those times.

Hummingbird Cake is one of my favorite cakes. I don't make it often because it's just too dangerous to have around. There's something magical about that combination of bananas, pineapple, cinnamon, and cream cheese that is hard to resist. In a recent issue of Southern Living, this slight twist on the traditional Hummingbird caught my eye. I immediately saved the recipe, putting it near the top of my to-bake list.

How great is coffee cake? There aren't that many cakes that can justifiably be eaten at any time of day. While we may not always need an excuse to eat cake for breakfast, it's nice to do so with a tad less guilt sometimes. This particular coffee cake is a slight twist on the traditional with the addition of a cream cheese swirl. All the things we love about coffee cake are still there --- cinnamon, nuts, crumb topping. There just happens to be some cream cheese goodness swirled into it the delicate cake to take it to new levels of fabulousness.
