Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

By -


My son loves the Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies from Subway.  These were an experiment to try imitating those.  It's been a while since I've had one of those cookies from Subway, but whether they compare exactly or not, this experiment turned out really well!  My son gives them two thumbs up so I will continue making these cookies!  YUM!   

 I used my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with some modifications.  I left out the regular vanilla and chocolate chips and added a block of cream cheese, a little extra flour, raspberry flavoring and raspberry "bits".  These raspberry bits I ordered through Alison's Pantry a while back.  They haven't been in the catalog but will be for the September order!  You can find a similar product on Amazon Here.  The products aren't exactly the same but I imagine either would work.

 This does make a large batch but they freeze really well in either dough or baked form!
Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

 2 C. butter, softened
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 C. brown sugar
1 1/2 C. white sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp. raspberry flavoring
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
6 1/4 C. flour
1 12 oz. package white chocolate chips
1/2 C. raspberry bits
1 C. barely chopped nuts, optional  (I used walnuts because I had those on hand)

 Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla and mix well.  Add rest of ingredients and mix together well.  Roll in golf-ball sized balls or use a cookie scoop, and place on cookie sheet.

 Bake at 350° for around 10 minutes give or take a minute depending on your oven.  You want them to be puffy and starting to brown a tad on the bottom edge and then when you take them out of the oven they won't look quite done.  Let them sit on the cookie sheet and cool for 5-10 minutes.     I have a gas convection oven and have to adjust for that.  I bake these in my oven at 325 for 9 minutes most of the time.

 Joy's Note:   If you can't find the raspberry bits, I think a lot of the flavor comes from the raspberry flavoring so I think they would still be pretty good without those.  If you live near me - the bits will be in the September 2014 Alison's Pantry catalog.

Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes

The other day I needed a dinner that I could make ahead and leave in the oven.  I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this.  It was a hit with our entire family. I like to buy full boneless pork loins at Sam's Club and then cut them into chops or leave the size we need for a roast.  The price is usually cheapest that way and I'm all about cutting our food budget.  I keep everything in this recipe on hand (aside from the French's Fried Onions) so it is something I could throw together  spur of the moment. Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes 6-8 pork loin chops (boneless or bone-in) 6 LARGE  russet potatoes , peeled and sliced 2 10 oz. cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk 3/4 C. water 3 T. onion soup base (1 package of Lipton onion soup is a little over 2 T. so just use that if you'd rather not have a package open.  I buy mine in bulk so it's easier for measuring) 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt French's fried onions

Brown Rice, Broccoli and Chicken Bake

My family doesn't generally love brown rice.  They really enjoyed it in this dish though.  I started out to do a skillet dinner, but I took a little time to put it all in a pan and melt the cheese in the oven.  Next time I'm going to try just mixing it in and letting it melt in the skillet rather than sprinkling it on top. This was a tasty dinner and full of healthy ingredients.   My family requested it again! Brown Rice and Broccoli with Chicken 1 1/2 C. brown rice 3 1/4 C.chicken broth or water with 3 tsp. chicken boullion  Place in medium pan, bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes.  Remove from heat. While the rice is cooking, saute the following in 1 T. of olive oil: 2 chicken breast, diced 1 C. onion, diced 1 C. mushrooms, sliced 2 C. broccoli florets (fresh or frozen is fine) When the rice is done, place it on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan .  Spread chicken and vegetables over rice.  Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken broth ove

Molasses Oatmeal Bread is a hearty (and heart healthy!) bread that is easy and delicious!  We love it toasted and spread with homemade jam.  So good!  Molasses adds a rich flavor and beautiful color. Molasses Oatmeal Bread 2 T. instant dry yeast (my favorite brand is SAF) 1/2 C. warm water Dissolve yeast in water and set aside In large bowl (or mixer bowl if you have one that will do bread), put: 2 C. quick rolled oats 2 T. oil 2 C. boiling water Stir and let sit about 10 minutes or until lukewarm.   Stir dissolved yeast, 1/2 C. molasses, and 4 tsp. salt into the oatmeal mixture.   Add about 3 cups of flour and mix well.  Stir in 2-3 cups more flour until you have a firm dough that you can knead.  Knead 5 minutes by hand or with mixer.  Place in a greased bowl, being sure to grease the top as well.   Cover and let rise until double.  About 45 minutes to an hour depending on how warm your room is.
