Krafts Whipped Strawberry Sensation

We have a New York relative coming to our crawfish boil today for Good Friday so I had to do a dessert using fresh Ponchatoula strawberries. I found this in Kraft Food magazine. My changes are in parentheses.

I haven't had any of the fully prepared dessert yet but I tasted it before freezing last night and it was VERY good. Super sweet so if you aren't big on really sweet desserts, you may want to cut the condensed milk in half. If it isn't strawberry season, you could probably use frozen or maybe even raspberries or some other type of fruit.

4 cups fresh strawberries, divided

1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup lemon juice(I squeezed the juice from one large fresh lemon)

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided(I used low fat)

8 OREO Cookies, finely chopped (I used 12 and put in food processor on pulse for a few seconds)

1 Tbsp. butter, melted (I used about 1.5 tbsp)

LINE 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil, with ends extending over sides of pan. Mash 2 cups berries in large bowl (I pulsed in food processor). Add condensed milk, lemon juice juice and 2 cups COOL WHIP; mix well. Pour into prepared pan.

MIX chopped cookies and butter (I combined butter in food processor by pulsing a second with oreos); spoon over COOL WHIP mixture. Gently press cookie mixture into COOL WHIP mixture. Cover with ends of foil. Freeze overnight.

INVERT dessert onto plate when ready to serve; remove pan and peel off foil. Frost dessert with remaining COOL WHIP. Slice remaining berries; arrange over dessert. (I then flash freezed mine, took out after about 40 minutes then covered) then put back in freezer until ready to serve. I took out about 20 minutes before serving so the top berries weren't frozen solid.

I made cookies!!!!

Steven was told to bring a dessert for his family Christmas Day. I am super busy and didn't have time for anything fancy and didn't want to just bring something from Winn Dixie so I took a stab at cookies.

I am a very bad baker, normally, but I decided to try Land O Lakes recipe for Cinnamon Blossoms. I had everything needed and it sounded pretty easy. Plus, they came out really good!

Here is the recipe from their website. My changes are in bold.

Preparation time: 50 min LOL took me like 20 minutes
Baking time: 8 min

Yield: 5 dozen cookies opps, mine must have been too big, I think I got like 24

1		cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened I used unsalted
3/4		cup sugar
1		egg yolk
1		teaspoon vanilla
2		cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2		teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4		teaspoon salt
60		mini chocolate candy kisses I got the regular size with almonds

Heat oven to 375°F. Combine butter, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, cinnamon and salt. Beat until well mixed.

Fit cookie press with desired template; fill with dough. Press dough, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. I didn't have a cookie press so I rolled mine into balls (apparently made them too big too)

Immediately place 1 candy in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
