Southern Belle Bars Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pitcher filled with ice, combine all ingredients except orange slices and stir thoroughly. Pour into individual highball glasses. Garnish each glass with an orange slice and serve while cold.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350F. Combine 1 1/4 cup flour, butter and sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (1-2 minutes). Stir in 1/4 cup pecans.
• Press Crust mixture evenly onto bottom of ungreased 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until very lightly golden brown on edges.
• Combine all filling ingredients EXCEPT pecans in a small bowl; mix well. Stir in pecans. Spread evenly over hot, partially baked crust. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until filling appears set and knife inserted 1-inch from edge comes out clean. Cool; cut into bars.

Steps:

• Pour ingredients into an ice-filled shaker, shake, and strain into a cocktail glass.

Steps:

• Using wire whisk, stir together the flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, mint and salt in large bowl; set aside. In mixer on medium speed, add cream cheese, butter, bourbon and vanilla in a large bowl, beating until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture to cream cheese mixture and beat until it forms a dough. Dough will be somewhat soft so cover and chill in freezer about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. On lightly floured surface, roll half of dough at a time to less than 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using 1 1/2 to 2-inch cookie cutter. Place on baking sheets about 2-inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes or until just lightly browned on bottom. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool cookies in pan on wire rack. When cool, remove from pans and place on platter, garnishing with extra mint or store cookies until ready to serve.
