Watermelon Sandwich Cookies

Posted by Priory Fine Pastries On July - 21 - 2010

We all love watermelon in these hot summer months!  But sometimes, watermelon as a dessert is just not enough!  Here’s a very cool and unique dessert idea from watermelon.org involving our favorite summer fruit with a little bit of extra flair – Watermelon Sandwich Cookies!

Ingredients
– 12 (3-inch) blueberry pancakes, cooled to room temperature
- 1/2 cup white frosting
- 6 (2/3-inch thick and 3-inch round) seedless watermelon slices, drained to remove excess moisture
Instructions
Evenly frost the bottoms of each pancake with the white frosting. Arrange six of the pancakes, frosting side up on a serving platter. Place a slice of watermelon on each of the frosted pancakes on the platter. Top each with the remaining pancakes, frosting side down. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This recipe serves 6.

Holy Cow!

Posted by Priory Fine Pastries On July - 15 - 2010

It’s Cow Appreciation Day – yes, you read correctly – and there is a lot to appreciate about cows!  If it weren’t for cows, we wouldn’t have milk, and if we didn’t have milk, we wouldn’t have anything to wash down our cookies and cake with!  So when you’re pouring a glass of milk today, just give a silent appreciation to all of those cows out there – providing milk for you on a daily basis!
