Easy Apple Pie Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

~ Apple Pie Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars ~


Only Three Ingredients  Unbelievably Easy & Delicious

These bars are the best of both worlds … apple pie and cookies with no utensils required! These are a great dessert to pack up for a summer picnic. Or, warm up a cookie bar and top it with vanilla ice cream for an a la mode treat! 

Ingredients
One 16.5 oz tube of Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
One 20 oz. can of apple pie filling
Cinnamon sugar (1/4 cup of granulated sugar & 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon)

InstructionsPress 2/3 of the cookie dough into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan.
Sprinkle with 2/3 of the cinnamon sugar.
Spread the apple pie filling over the cookie base.
Take small amounts of the remaining cookie dough, flatten it slightly and place over the pie filling. It will not cover the pie filling completely.
Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake in a 350* oven until the cookie dough is baked - mine took about 35-40 minutes.
Allow bars to cool and cut into squares.

Panda Bread and Panda Cupcakes

I am a sucker for a cute little character, and this panda cupcake is no exception.  It may look complicated, but it's not as hard as you would think.  I found the recipe on several sights and all had the same picture I used here, lol.  Here is the general consensus on how they are made:  

-the flavor is up to you, I chose vanilla so I just had to use one mix (make them large!)

-make the same amount of small (mini size) cupcakes

-Chocolate, white vanilla and black frosting (use the small store bought tube of gel frosting.

-package of regular Oreos

-package of Mini Oreos

-mini chocolate chips

Directions:

-Each panda needs 2 regular sized Oreos cut in half

-frost the mini cupcakes with vanilla frosting for the head

-paint eyes and mouth with black frosting (use chocolate chip, large side out to add to eyes

-use the mini chocolate chips for the nose

-use 2 halves of the mini Oreos for the ears

-Scrape the white filling off of some Oreos and place the cookies in a baggie to crush

-Frost the large cupcakes with the chocolate frosting

-Coat the top of the big cupcake (by dipping it in) the cookie crumbs

-Attach each head to the body, (use toothpicks to keep in place)

-Use 2 halves of reg. Oreos for the arms, use a bit of the chocolate frosting to attach

-Paint the nails on, (can be helpful to use a toothpick)

-Set the feet at the base, (no need to attach)

ENJOY!!!!

This recipe might be a little tricky, but I used Google Translate to make some sense of it.  Here is the link: http://cookpad.com/recipe/349795   It was too cute to not pass along.  It would make a little one's lunch interesting and fun.  Plus, who doesn't like Pandas?!  This actually opens up a whole new idea for me.  It has me wondering what else I can make like this.  You don't even have to use the green tea, lol...you can use food coloring and let your imagination run wild.  Just watch that it looks eatable, lol.
