Cherry soda and a measured chocolate cake mix make the base of this sheet cake with cherry buttercream. Reserve cherry juice before draining the fruit. This specific soda-mix formula does not call for the eggs or oil printed on a standard cake-mix box.
Ready-to-eat flour tortillas wrap cream cheese and lightly sugared strawberries for a chilled dessert. Drain excess berry juice before filling so the tortillas do not become soggy. Graham crumbs and melted butter make a loose outer coating rather than a baked crust.
These baked cocoa-peanut-butter cookies are rolled in powdered sugar after cooling. Caramel is an optional finishing drizzle, with storage determined by its label. The dough contains flour and must be baked even though it contains no eggs.
Cream cheese and butter form a soft cookie dough with chopped strawberries and white chocolate. Dry the berries after washing and keep pieces small so they distribute evenly. Bake a small first tray to establish the finish time for your portion size.
Candied cherries, pineapple and pecans are folded into a butter-and-buttermilk cookie dough. Chop the additions small enough to fit comfortably in each portion. These cookies use candied fruit rather than juicy fresh fruit, and their dense texture does not require an invented leavening ingredient.
An eight-ounce crescent-roll package forms sixteen small pastry cups for cream cheese and raspberry jam. Cut each of its eight triangles in half and press the pieces into a mini muffin pan. Cool briefly before lifting them so the warm filling can settle.
Chocolate cake receives an Irish cream and condensed-milk soak, then chills before whipped topping and mint chocolate are added. The liqueur goes in after baking, so its alcohol is not baked off. Plan at least four hours of refrigeration in addition to mixing, baking and initial cooling.
These small pecan pies press a brown-sugar butter crust into standard muffin cups and fill it with an egg-and-corn-syrup mixture. Divide both crust and filling before baking so the cups cook at similar rates. Allow the hot filling to settle before loosening the pies.
These pan cookies combine three cups of oats with milk chocolate chips and a creamed-butter dough. Press the thick mixture evenly into a nine-by-thirteen-inch pan. Let it cool before slicing so the oat-rich center has time to hold together.
