From time to time, it would be fun to feature one of our Sweet StackersTM products, slash the price and show the many ways to utilize them.
This months feature is the Sweet Stackers 7.75″ x 11″ tray set. This set contains 2 – trays, 4 -1.25″ large risers and 8 – .75″ small risers. This set fits the popular Rubbermaid® 1 gallon TakeAlongs, which are typically sold in a two pack and can be found in local grocery stores, Target, Walmart, etc. These containers are great because they are reusable, but inexpensive enough that you could transport and leave at a party.
This set is perfect for stacking 2 or 3 layers of food in one container. These decorated spritz cookies fit neatly in 3 layers using the .75″ risers. If you need deeper layers for storing brownies, dessert bars, appetizers or donuts, the larger 1.25″ work perfectly and creates two layers.
Dessert bars:
Keeps a dozen Donuts Fresh! Transfer donuts out of the take home carton.
Currently, we are holding a Special Product Feature Sale on this product now through 8/21/2016.
Now only $4.49 ($1.00 off the original price) on www.etsy.com/shop/SweetStackers

Bring on Spring! We are finally getting a break from this crazy harsh winter. It was so nice to bake with bright sunshine and some fresh air filling the house. My daughter is having a Daisy Girl Scout Investiture Ceremony tonight and I wanted to make a special little treat for our troop. These Daisy Spritz Cookies will be perfect to celebrate!
Spritz Cookie Recipe
Sift the flour and baking powder. On high speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, milk and vanilla extract. Lower the mixer speed and add the flour mixture slowly until combined. Fill the cookie press (I love my Wilton Cookie Press!) with dough and place the desire disk in. Press cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Back for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Place on a cooling rack. Makes 7-8 dozen cookies.
Once cooled, I decorated the daisy center with the Girl Scout Daisy blue center. Just like the first patch they earn when they can recite the Girl Scout Promise. The centers were iced with a dollop of glaze (1 cup confectioners’ sugar, 1 teaspoon corn syrup and 1 tablespoon of milk) and dyed with two drops of blue food coloring. Blue crystal sugars were sprinkled on top.
Sweet Stackers are pictured in an air-tight Rubbermaid Take Alongs container. Create 3 layers of cookies in this container.
Sweet Stackers elevate your baked goods on stackable trays in your container. Decorate your cookies right on the trays, place the risers carefully in between and stack the trays without messing the decorations right in your container. Dry the icing with the lid off, then store with an air-tight lid to keep them fresh. They are ready to transport to your event!
Sweet Stackers are reusable, economical, versatile and fit a variety of containers that you probably already own – visit www.sweetstackers.com for more information.
Merry Christmas from our cookie table to yours!!
Memories are made in the kitchen. This year’s Christmas preparation has been fun – sharing recipes and coming together with family and friends to create special times and celebrate traditions. Christmas Eve ended with a candlelit cookie table and the kids even picked out a few special cookies to leave out for Santa. Hope you enjoyed some of this year’s cookie recipes:
Ina Garten’s Jam Thumbprint Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 ¼ cup molasses
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 375°. Cream the butter and sugar together at high mixer speed. Gradually add the molasses, eggs and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg together. Measure 5 cups even cups of flour. Reduce the mixer speed and gradually add the flour mixture. Divide the dough into three portions, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours.
Roll cold dough to about 1/4 inch thick, cut into shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet (preferably lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper). Bake 6 – 8 minutes. Larger cookies may take longer. Cool on a rack and decorate.

yields approximately 30 cookies
Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and confectioners’ sugar together. Reduce the mixer speed and gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl. Add the vanilla.
Split the dough into two equal halves. Remove half of the dough. In the other half, gradually add the red food coloring and mix until you reach the desired color.
Rollout each half of the dough between 2 sheets of wax paper or parchment paper into a rectangular shape and 1/8 inch thick. While in the paper, place the rolled out dough onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and place the sheet of red dough on top of the plain dough. Trim the edges to evenly create a rectangular shape. Once the dough warms slightly, it can be rolled without cracking. Roll into a log, pressing out the air in between the layers.
Roll the log in a pan of green sanding sugar.
Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Heat the oven to 325°. Slice the log with a sharp knife about 1/4″ thick and place on a baking sheet for 14 – 16 minutes until the cookie is lightly browned.
Store in an air-tight container and they will be fresh until Christmas!

Fill a “useful” container such as Rubbermaid Take Alongs with unique kitchen or baking goods from cookie cutters, packaged cookie mixes, sprinkles…and don’t forget the Sweet Stackers – Stackable Food Storage System that can insert into the container to make it multi-level.

I was totally thrilled and honored to have Kim the Cookier, from The Cookie Puzzle, write a review on how she uses Sweet Stackers for her cookie decorating. After learning about Sweet Stackers, Kim has changed the way she stores her cookies while decorating. She used to store her cookies in large under-your-bed bins that were not air-tight to smaller, deeper food storage containers using Sweet Stackers. Sweet Stackers layer your cookies on stackable trays which insert into your containers. She was able to get 37 thickly rolled cutout cookies in one container. The trays can be easily removed during the decorating process – as you can see from icing to stenciling and more!

This traditional Czech/Polish pastry has acquired an American twist! Kolacky (or Kolaches) are cookies traditionally filled with a variety of fruit, poppy-seed or cheese fillings. My family serves them at most holiday dinners and they are the perfect bite-sized treat after any feast. This time, I made them with a homemade pumpkin pie filling.
The baking season has really kicked in this week since I was invited to attend the Chicago Food Swap this weekend. The Chicago Food Swap is an organization that meets monthly to swap homemade and homegrown food in the Chicago area. No money changes hands and it is free to participate, plus it is a great way to form friendships and trade inspiration. I am baking a few varieties of goodies in preparation for this event. My baked goods will be stored and transported using Sweet Stackers. Special for the November swap, I will get to showcase my Stackable Food Storage System and even raffle Sweet Stackers as a door prize.
These homemade Pumpkin Pie Kolacky are on my swap list and I will probably be making more for Thanksgiving dinner.
Sweet Stackers – economical and versatile system to convert your containers to multi-level and maximize food storage. The Stackable Food Storage System allows you to store and transport layers of baked goods in one container. Available in 4 trays sizes made to fit major brand food storage containers.
