The best part about blogging is making friends. And it has been a real joy to get to hang out with my new solid friends when I have the chance. What is even better, testing out an memorable dessert recipe with my solid friend and then blogging about it!
One of my go-to girls, whom I met at SNAP conference last year is Ruth of What’s Cooking with Ruthie. We decided to get together and make some striking fall themed cookies, that I GUARANTEE you will love if you try them.

- Add powdered sugar 1 C at a time, mix with each addition. Layer filling between the bottoms of two cookies.
Notes
I made some of these and didn’t cook all the dough, I added chocolate chips then stored it in the fridge for a couple days. Then, when I wanted a hot dessert, I put about a 1/3 cup batter into a microwaveable bowl and cooked it for about 1 minute 30 seconds or until it was done(no longer shiny). It was really good!
Yum… look at this pumpkin roll recipe if you have the chance! SO good!
