Love it. It has so much flavor. I made two, and they both kind of split at one point when I was rolling the filling in, but that's fine - it's only the first time I made them. I'll get better. Besides, I think The cake I made was a little thicker than it should have been. Not to mention the icing for it was light and not too sweet. It really brought it together nicely. All in all, this was a great recipe. I will definitely make it again.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Squares

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

I was a little scared to make this because it was for my family, but I'm glad I did. My Aunt Martha (who is the goddess of baking) even said it was absolutely delicious! Here's some tips though: Add a little more pumpkin spice. Not too much to overcome the cheesecake flavor, but to make it really burst in your mouth. Grease the pan (obviously). And cut it TWICE: once about twenty minutes after its baked and setting, and the other time about four hours after you put it in the fridge. It'll help getting it out. The cookie wont stick to the bottom if you let it cool before you pour the pumpkin in. And this tastes wonderful with whipped cream. :] I was going to put a picture up, but everyone snatched it before I could get a piece to myself!

Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

Wonderful! I made these for my boyfriend on Thanksgiving. My dough turned out a little dry, but just add a little milk. I made mine a tad moister because of all the flour you HAVE TO PUT DOWN on the mat and the roller. (but that goes for all cookies) Definitely put it in the freezer for about twenty minutes after you make it, or while your trays are baking. It'll be easier to work with. And only put them in for 6-7 minutes, because then they stay kinda soft in the center. If you really want to make them even more awesome, check out the Sugar Cookie Icing that JBS BOX has up on this site. It works great and definitely compliments the flavor of the cookie.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2009

I LOVED this recipe. I made sugar cookies for my boyfriend when he went off for Thanksgiving to his grandmothers, and I used this for the icing. The only thing I don't agree with was the measurements, because mine turned out too thick. I had to add alot more milk and extract. But if you just do it to your own taste, it turns out wonderful. The colors stayed bright, and it dried nice so I could stack them easy. Definitely a keeper.
