Our recipes are in the order.
Chocolate Chip Cookies

Brownie Trifle
Chocolate Chip Cookies
The first recipe is chocolate chip cookies. It is one of our favorite and most enjoyable snacks. After you make it we recommend letting it cool down and then put it in a container. Most people enjoy it with a cup of milk to wash it down after you warm up the cookies for about ten seconds. If you do that the chocolate will be nice and gooey. Our favorite things about the cookies are the softness in the center and the crispness in the crust. We hope you enjoy it.

Portuguese Sponge Cake
The third recipe we recommend is a Portuguese Sponge Cake that is really delicious. It is nice and spongy but not too spongy. Its sponginess makes it very delicious and the topping sugar makes it sweet. It is very delicious and we hope you enjoy.

Put the cake into the oven and let it in the oven for about 25 min
Sprinkle icing sugar on top
Brownie Trifle
Another recipe we recommend that is very delicious is a Brownie Trifle it is a layered cake
that is very delicious. It also has layers of Brownies, Whipped Cream, and Chocolate Pudding. It is also pretty big, it looks like a giant version of a mousse dessert. Plus if you don't like the type of bowl we use you still can use your own or make it on a plate but it would be much harder to make unlike in the bowl.
