Shortly before retiring, we had a pot luck luncheon where everyone brings a dish to share. My friend & co-worker Betty R., brought this creamy, luscious dessert made with Oreo cookies .

These chunky, crunchy cookies are loaded with white chocolate chips and nuts . This cookie freezes well, which is great because this recipe yields 6 dozen cookies!

This buttery ,toffee bar cookie is covered with chocolate and sprinkled with nuts. Turn your back for one minutes and they will disappear from your cookie platter. I always hide a few of these yummy cookies in my vegetable bin…cookie bandits won’t look there!

You would never know this mouth watering dessert starts out with a cake mix. It’s got jello, pudding, cream cheese, strawberries, nuts and cool whip, transformed into a spectacular dessert that is both pleasing to the eye and down-right delicious! Thanks to my old friend Lauren P. for this recipe.
Here’s another family favorite…Grandma Drapak’s famous spumoni cookies. This cookie features 3 scrumptious flavors…cherry, chocolate and pistachio, all packed into one fantastic bite.
Buttery goodness is the only way to describe this tender, delicate cookie with a hint of almond flavor, topped with a candied cherry. Yum!!
