As the start of school nears, I am more and more excited. I felt the need to make some yummy dessert. I had purchased some tiny little chocolate shells and wanted to fill them with cheesecake. This snowballed into making a mocha cheesecake, vanilla in the shells with cherry topping and a small dish of vanilla for my husband. I was going to make a regular sized vanilla, but used up too much with the shells. Husband doesn’t like anything coffee flavored so that is why I saved that last little bit of vanilla for him. I made it with a Vanilla Wafer crust.
I couldn’t stop there. The girl was home with me, and she is always wanting to help in the kitchen, and tried to do so with the cheesecake, since it is so simple I didn’t have anything for her to do. She talked me into making cookies, snickerdoodles. Since I was there and already making the mess, I made some gingersnaps too!
The cookie recipes are on the bakeshop page.
