Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies from 101 Gourmet Cookies by Wendy Paul

¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3 cups quick oats
2 cups butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, and
vanilla. In a
separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. Quickly stir to
combine.

Gently add flour mixture to the wet mixture mix until just combined. Fold in
the
butterscotch chips and nuts (optional). Drop the batter by tablespoonful onto
greased

Key Lime Pie cake bites from 101 Gourmet Cake Bites by Wendy Paul

1 box yellow cake mix
½ tbsp. grated lime zest
1/3 cup key lime juice
¾ cup half and half
2 eggs

Mix together cake mix, lime zest, key lime juice, half and half and eggs.
Batter will be thicker. Pour batter into a greased 9×13 baking pan. Bake at
350
degrees for 28-32 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly
touched. Remove
from the oven and cool completely. Crumble cake into small, even pieces,
placing
crumbs in a large bowl.

Add the following ingredients:

¼ cup Lime Butter Cream Frosting
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp. grated lime zest

With the back of a spoon, mix together cake crumbles with ingredients until
a thick “dough” consistency forms, making it easy to shape into a cake bite.

Shape cake bites, evenly sized and cool for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator, or
20 minutes in the freezer. Dip into white melting chocolate. Top with crushed
graham crackers for garnish.
