These are big, chewy and fudgy cookies with just enough mint to cut the richness. They will puff in the oven and settle as they cool.

This ice cream cake is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. You can add the sundae toppings before serving, or put them out in bowls to let each person customize his or her own slice.

These pancakes are fluffy and a bit sweeter than usual, which makes them a perfect match for the tart lemony-blueberry sauce spooned on top. Blueberries can vary in texture and water content, so feel free to adjust the consistency of the sauce with either a few extra minutes of cooking time to thicken it or a few extra tablespoons of water to thin it.

These very simple but impressive bars use boxed cake mix for the base, have streusel on top and sandwich apple butter in between for a sweet snack that's not too sugary.
