Two Easy, Crowd Pleasing Dessert Recipes

Are you heading to a party or picnic tomorrow? Did you leave dessert until the last minute? Here are two quick and easy favorites from the Farmgirl Fare recipe archives that also make great after school and lunch box treats. Enjoy!

Easy Raspberry Almond Bars 1

People get so excited over these Quick and Easy Raspberry Almond Bars it's almost embarrassing to admit how easy they are to make. You use one batter for both layers, and the filling is simply jam. They transport well, can be eaten out of hand, won't melt in the heat, freeze beautifully, and always garner rave reviews.


Nigella's Big Chocolate Chip Cookies 2

And of course everybody loves homemade chocolate chip cookies. I make Nigella's Big Chocolate Chip Cookies two ways, and both are hard to stop eating.

© FarmgirlFare.com, where we'll be, appropriately, spending Labor Day morning working the sheep (time to get ready for breeding season!), but taking the afternoon off sounds like a really good plan to me—especially if it involves a nap. And cookies.

  4. Candy,
    A nap is that thing we always dream about and never actually get to take. ;)

    Mary,
    If it's your birthday, doesn't that mean you should have cake *and* cookies? ;)

    Barb,
    Thanks for the enthusiastic feedback. Your comments always make me smile. :)

  5. Made the "Quick and Easy Raspberry Almond Bars" last night for our Labor Day picnic. Seemed to go over well. I only got one piece today.

    I should have toasted the almonds before I started. They seemed to make the dough soft otherwise. Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to try it again, but before midnight next time; you know when my brain is in full gear. lol

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
