White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

They're soft and chewy, like a sugar cookie, but with all the flavor of a raspberry cheesecake. And they taste exactly like the ones from Subway. Maybe even a little bit better.

And even though they're made with muffin mix and the dough is super soft and, yeah, they kind of look like fat, fluffy pancakes while they're baking, they really are the same texture as a regular bakery-style cookie.

2 (7-ounce) boxes Jiffy raspberry muffin mix
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

In the bowl beat together the cream cheese, butter, shortening, and brown sugar, until just combined . Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Grilled potatoes in foil packets

☺~~HAPPY GRILLING~~♥

Build a medium fire in an outside grill, if gas grill heat to med.

Ingredients

4 nice sized white or yellow fleshed potatoes, peeled and sliced
8 teaspoons butter total (using 4 teaspoons each on two layers)
1 packet onion soup mix
salt & pepper to season
2 sheets heavy duty aluminum foil approx. 24" long each

Directions

Peel and slice the potatoes about 1/4" thick

Here's how to make leak-proof foil packets:

lay 2 sheets of 24" foil on top of each other so the shiny sides are facing each other,
along one long edge begin folding the edge over on itself 5 or 6 times, this makes your main seam,
open the two sheets so their laying flat on the counter with the shiny sides up - spray this surface with Pam spray.

Place 1/2 the sliced potatoes on the foil in the center.

Place 4 teaspoons of butter over the potatoes.

Cover with 1/2 the packet of onion soup mix. 

Cover with the remaining potatoes, 

4 more teaspoons of butter and the rest of the onion soup mix. 

Begin bringing up the two long ends so the meet.
Fold these long edges over themselves as many times as it takes until you have reached the potatoes.
Begin folding the small ends over themselves until you reach the potatoes.
You should now have a leak-proof foil packet for grilled potatoes.


Place the grilled potatoes on the top warming rack if you have it, if not place on grill rack.

Flip several times during cooking to keep the butter and juices distributed - Use pot holder , and if u use tongs be very careful not to puncture the foil.

Serve immediately after cooking.
