This is a great basic oatmeal cookie recipe - chewy and not too sweet. It also works great with the addition of pecans, chocolate chips, dried fruit... pretty much anything.

This bar is a chewier miniature version of the classic pie - delicious and great for when you need to make a lot of cookies at one time. (They are fairly rich so I cut them small and get at least 50 or so out of one batch.) The recipe is great as is, but cutting half of the granulated sugar and replacing it with brown sugar worked well too. *Line your jelly roll with non-stick aluminum foil and a little PAM for easy cleanup.

This shortbread recipe is easy, quick and incredibly delicious. A great step-up from basic shortbread. I followed the exact recipe - the only thing I changed was the baking dish. I used a pie dish because I was serving this as a dessert for dinner company and wanted something different from the same ol' dessert square. The pie dish was a little deeper than the recommended dish so I could have let the shortbread cook a little longer but I found that I really like the slightly chewy center. I served it topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a couple dashes of ground cinnamon and nutmeg and fresh berries. My guests thought it was TO DIE FOR and are still raving about it. This will be a staple dessert in my house from now on.
