Bake Sale Cookoff Recipes
Time for another post showcasing recipes from the Old-Fashioned Bake Sale Cookbook. As usual, these are all quite delicious.
Oatmeal Brownie Gems
1/9/16
You can't go wrong with M&M's and brownie mix, and adding oatmeal gives the illusion that maybe these bars are a bit healthy!
Pumpkin Bread
11/22/14 - plain with cream cheese
7/18/15 - with nuts and preserves
3/19/16 - with raisins and cream cheese frosting
6/10/17 - with nuts and raisins and ice cream
This recipe comes with quite a few variations. We've been waiting a long time for the one topped with ice cream! However, when I make pumpkin bread in the future, I think I'll stick to my niece's recipe.
Cinnamon Roll Cookies
9/4/16
When I decided to make them for Father's Day this cookbook must have been where I recalled seeing a recipe for Cinnamon Roll Cookies. Although I used a different recipe than the one in this book, they're actually quite similar, and if we make them again we'll probably use the other one, because it adds a cream cheese frosting drizzle.

Toffee Brownie Bars
1/21/17
As you can see, it takes about a year to make one recipe from each section, so in January we were back to brownies. This version is similar to our Four-Layer-Dessert with a crust topped with brownie topped with chocolate and nuts. You can find the recipe here.
Captivating Caterpillar Cupcakes
2/20/16
Remember, this is a bake sale cookbook, and there are going to be eye-catching recipes. This is one of them. Basically it's an ordinary cupcake, but decorated to look like a caterpillar crawling on the grass. Although it took a bit of patience during the decorating step, the most difficult part of this recipe was finding star-shaped nonpareil decors!
Brownie Peanut Butter Cupcakes
4/1/2017
Instead of jelly bean caterpillars, the next cupcake recipe used Reese's Pieces for decoration, and had a little peanut butter surprise inside to catch the buyers' attention! To make the filling, combine 1/3 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 egg. Form the mixture into 18 balls and place one in each of 18 foil baking cups. Then top with prepared brownie batter and the candies before baking.
