Dreamy Cookie Parfaits Recipes

DREAMY COOKIE PARFAITS

Steps:

• Crumble 1 of the cookies into each of 4 beverage glasses or parfait dishes.
• Top each with layers of 1/4 cup fruit and 1 Tbsp. whipped topping; repeat layers.
• Crush 1 of the remaining cookies over each dessert. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.

COOKIES-AND-CREAM PARFAITS

Steps:

• Make 2 layers of vanilla pudding, crushed chocolate wafer cookies and whipped cream in tall glasses. Top each with a cookie.

SPICE-COOKIE PARFAITS

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, pear juice, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook until cranberries are softened and most have burst, about 10 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Set aside 3/4 cup cooked cranberries.
• Purée remainder with 1 1/2 cups blackberries, then pass through a coarse-mesh sieve (to remove seeds; you should have about 1 1/2 cups). If needed, stir in more juice to create a thick but pourable consistency (it should be thicker than honey).
• Whip cream to soft peaks. Fold 1/4 cup purée into cream, leaving some streaks. Into each of 6 glasses, spoon or pipe a few tablespoons of whipped-cream mixture. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon purée; add a few cooked cranberries and some of remaining 1 1/2 cups blackberries. Sprinkle with crumbled cookies. Repeat layering, finishing with a drizzle of purée. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Serve each glass sprinkled with whole fresh or frozen berries and garnished with a cookie.

GRANDMA BONNIE'S DREAM COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker's ammonia.
• In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.
• Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.
• Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.
• Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
• Enjoy!
