YUM! I love Cheesecake! When I saw this on Val’s Busy Momma blog I had to see what type I was. Not sure I agree 100% with the description, but Brownie Cheesecake sure sounds good!
You Are a Brownie Cheesecake |
 A little chunky and a little gooey, you pretty much run on sugar! You take hedonism to the extreme.. And people love you for it. |
What Kind of Cheesecake Are You?

If you have been a regular visitor to our cookbook blog, you might also know about our main site - Mom’s Online Retreat. Well, the site, and this blog have taken on a new look, moved to a new setting. This is evident as you go through the site now and see images of the Retreat Areas. Below is our new Galley, how I picture the retreat center’s kitchen to be. 
And now comes the job of restocking the shelves. Visit the Galley to see our new layout. Then please leave me a comment - I would love to know what you think.

From “The Big Book of Cookies” comes a yummy recipe perfect for this Superbowl weekend!
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine — softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
24 (about) whole blanched almonds
DECORATING GLAZE:(recipe below)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons water (1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons)
Mix powdered sugar and water just enough to make a paste that can
be piped from decorating bag.
Directions:
Heat oven to 350º. Beat brown sugar, butter and vanilla in large bowl
with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour,
cinnamon and salt until dough holds together. (If dough is dry, mix in
1 to 2 tablespoons milk.)
Shape dough by scant tablespoonfuls around almonds to form football
shapes. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12
to 14 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet to
wire rack. Cool completely. Place Decorating Glaze in decorating bag
with #3 writing tip. Pipe glaze on cookies to resemble football laces.
