What's Cooking?

Cookies. Yum, right? If you are a cookie lover (or any dessert for that matter) this is the site for you! I'm going to pick and make one recipe every week and review it. Then I'll grade it with a scale of one to five (five being the highest and best and one the lowest) on taste, texture, how long it took to make (worst taking a long time to make), and how appealing it looks. The cookbook I'll be cooking from - at least for now - is Pillsbury Best Cookies Cookbook. Here is the link to where you can find it. Check it out if any of the reviews sound good to you.

No Bake After Dinner Mint Bars

The bars were really good! The middle layer was soft and creamy, the bottom was soft, but still held it's shape and the top, I can't describe. It was kind of like a mint flavored chocolate bar.

In the recipe, it said to use chocolate wafer crumbs, but we didn't know what that was, so we used ground Oreos. It was good, but the tastes didn't mix that well, so I don't think those were the chocolate wafer crumbs we were supposed to use.

The bars were easy to make, but took a lot of pans and dishes. What I really like is that they don't have to refrigerate for a couple hours, only 10-15 minutes.
