Orange Cheesecake Dreams

Makes about 36 bars
For the Crust:
2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers (about 44 wafers)
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

For the Filling:
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
One 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
2 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice

In a medium mixing bowl stir together the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter or margarine. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture. Press remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes.
In another mixing bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugar and orange peel till combined. Beat in eggs and orange juice on low speed just till combined. Do not overbeat. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake in the 350 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or till center appears set. Cool in pan on a rack. Cut into bars; cover and store in the refrigerator.
NOTE: A light orange flavor gives these individual cheesecakes an unexpected tang. If you’re making them for company, garnish each square with a thin half slice of orange.

Spumoni Bars

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups flour
12 maraschino cherries, well drained and chopped
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup mint-flavored or plain semisweet chocolate chips
2 tsp water, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar in large bowl until blended. Beat in egg yolks, vanilla, baking powder and salt until light. Stir in flour to make a stiff dough. Divide dough into 3 equal parts; place each part in small bowl. Add cherries and walnuts to one part, blending well. Melt chocolate chips in small bowl over hot water. Stir until smooth. Add melted chocolate and 1 teaspoon of the water to second part, blending well. Stir remaining 1 teaspoon water into third part. (If doughs are soft, refrigerate 10 minutes.)

Divide each color dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each part into a 6 inch rope by rolling on lightly floured surface. Place one rope of each color side by side on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten ropes so they attach together making 1 strip of 3 colors. With rolling pin, roll strip directly on cookie sheet until it measures 12x3 inches. With straight edge of knife, score strip crosswise at 1 inch intervals. Repeat with remaining ropes to make a total of 4 tri-colored strips of dough. Bake 12 to 13 minutes or until set but not completely browned; remove from oven. While cookies are still warm, trim lengthwise edges to make them even and cut into individual cookies along score marks. (Cookies will bake together but are easy to cut apart while still warm.) Cut on cookie sheets.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.
