Sorry it has been so long! In the last two weeks, we have been in D.C. to see dear friends. We have been in Philadelphia area for five interviews in two days and then back to D.C. for a few more days. We then travelled to Nashville to enjoy time with our families and for me to take part in some wedding festivities for Aimee! Since then, I have accepted a job at Quest Diagnostics as an "Associate Programming Analyst" (sounds official!) and Walt was accepted to Westminster Theological Seminary! We have put a deposit down on an apartment (I know you typically think a deposit is for a house or something, but with as much as rent is up there it may as well be!) and are excited to be moving May 16th and 17th!! (it's a 16 hour drive from Philly to Tuscaloosa).
This recipe came from Kara (Aimee's older sister) who had seen it used at another shower! It looks so good on display! It's from tablespoon.com.
Money Savers:
Strawberries are on a great sale at Publix this week! Even if you aren't making the cookies, you might want to get some!
Options:
The recipe calls for just slice and bake cookies. I am not a big slice and bake person so I just used the favorite sugar cookie recipe instead. This does take more time! But I think it is worth it! The slice and bake can be a little overly sugary for this recipe (but that might not be a bad thing).
INGREDIENTS:
sugar cookies obtained somehow (says for about 20 cookies)
1 pkg of cream cheese softened (8 oz)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tbs frozen limeade concentrate (thawed)
*not sure what you wanna do with the rest afterward... I plan to eventually just look into making a small amount instead
fruit for toppings! (the site has strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and raspberries)
*I omitted the kiwi because my mom is allergic and I didn't want to risk it! I haven't ever really had it.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bake the cookies like normal
2. Cool COMPLETELY!!! Trust me, you don't want the icing to run off the cookies. They can be just barely warm to the touch.
3. Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and limeade in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth.
4. Spread each cookie with 1 tbs cream cheese mixture on each cookie.
* I didn't measure this out. Just spread it on the cookie according to what looks good!
5. Top with fruit as desired!
Happy Wedding Season! :)
