Fruity Cookie Cups

Baking again...

I recently made Fruity Cookie Cups for an event we went too... they turned out GREAT! It is amazing the things you can make with refrigerated cookie dough!

Here's the recipe from Pillsbury.com I made it according to the directions with no deviations and would have to say, that I'll be making these again... I'd like to take them to the Friday Family Dinner... as soon as our friend is back on dairy!

Waiting for the oven...

What you'll need:
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies

Generous 1/2 cup whole almonds, ground to 1/3 cup

2 containers (6 oz each) Yoplait® Greek vanilla yogurt

1 cup fresh fruit (chopped kiwifruit, pineapple or mango)

What you need to do:Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
In medium bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in almonds. Roll dough into 12 balls. Place in muffin cups. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Using end of wooden spoon, carefully press into center of each baked cookie to make indentation. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until set. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove cookie cups from pan.

Then spoon about 2 tablespoons yogurt into each cookie cup. Top with fresh fruit.

be sure to make the indents for the filling...

I was really nervous that I had cooked them to long... they seemed to be really hard on the bottom... BUT they turned out perfect!

Mike and I are nuts for pineapple... so we made sure to include pineapple on the tops, along with kiwi and mango! Give them a try, I'm sure you will love the too!

introducing new additions to the family

To those that don’t know me too well might think that this blog title means there’s going to be tiny little feet running around our house soon, and you’d be half right … and those that do know me will know that this means that those tiny little feet are actually paws! A dear friend ours came home from trip to Texas to find the little kitten (of about 9 months) she left in the care of her husband and 3 sons was prego! I’m not saying her husband is to blame, in his defense those 3 sons are a handful!! She let me know that if we were ready to be kitty parents again we had first pick of the litter… well, as it turns out I might have been the hold up all this time for us to jump into pet parent-hood. Mike has all for it! So I told her that we would claim 2 of the little bundles when they made their appearance… then we waited for them to be born… April 19th around 5 in the evening I got the first text that the little ones were on the way! Our friend is an experienced animal person so she ha...
