I had a request for a recipe that I've never heard of. I was hoping that someone out there might be able to help me. The person didn't know the name but they remembered that it had a sugar cookie base, apples (done w/ the A/P/C/S, cool whip, cocnut, and snickers candy bars (chopped up). Does this sound familiar to anyone?
 
Did you put those ingredients in a recipe search on CC??

Hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a try.






Edited to add: I just tried and nothing came up.

I've never heard of it with the coconut, but the old Taffy Apple Pizza sounds might close to what you listed.
 
There was a "salad" in the old salad cards that had apple and candy bar. Sounds like someone just served that on a cookie crust.
 
I know of a recipe kind of like that but w/o the coconut. And its grapes, then and it ends up tasting like a caramel apple. Sounds funky but OH so good! (Not a PC recipe!)
 
Is is the Taffy Apple Pizza, with a little twist?

Taffy Apple Pizza
1 Pkg Refrigerated Pizza Dough

1 pk 8oz cream cheese softened
1/4 cup Creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 med Granny smith apples
1 cup Lemon lime soda
Cinnamon
1/4 cup Caramel ice cream topping
1/2 cup Chopped peanuts

Preheat oven to 350F. Shape dough into a ball. Place dough in center of pizza pan; flatten slightly with palm of hand. Roll dough out to 14" circle, about a 1/4" thick. Bake 16-18 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Carefully loosen cookie from sheet with serrated knife; cool completely. Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla; mix well. Spread mixture evenly over top of cookie. Arrange apples evenly over cream cheese mixture; sprinkle with cinnamon. To heat caramel topping, microwave on HIGH 30-45 sec or until warm; drizzle over apples. Sprinkle nuts on top.
NOTES : Dip apples in lemon-lime soda to prevent them from turning brown. ( I find a cheap can works the best.)
 
Sounds similar to candy apple delight

Crushed pineapple, cool whip, chopped snickers bars, chopped peanuts, diced granny smith apples.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sugar cookie base and how is it used in recipes?

A sugar cookie base is a versatile dough made primarily from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. It serves as the foundation for various desserts, allowing for endless customization with toppings, fillings, or additional flavors. In recipes, it can be rolled out for cookies, pressed into a pan for bars, or used as a crust for pies and tarts.

Can I modify the sugar cookie base recipe to make it gluten-free?

Yes, you can modify a sugar cookie base recipe to be gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with the texture. Additionally, consider adjusting the baking time as gluten-free cookies may require slight variations.

What are some popular toppings or fillings to use with a sugar cookie base?

Popular toppings and fillings for a sugar cookie base include frosting, fruit preserves, chocolate chips, nuts, and sprinkles. You can also use cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, or even layer it with ice cream for a delicious dessert. The options are endless, so feel free to get creative!

How do I ensure my sugar cookie base turns out soft and chewy?

To achieve a soft and chewy sugar cookie base, avoid overmixing the dough, as this can lead to a tougher texture. Use room temperature ingredients, and consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Also, monitor the baking time closely; removing the cookies from the oven when they are just set will help maintain their softness.

Can I use a sugar cookie base for savory dishes?

While a sugar cookie base is typically sweet, you can adapt it for savory dishes by reducing the sugar and adding herbs, spices, or cheese. This can create a unique savory crust for quiches or tarts. Experimenting with flavors can lead to delicious and unexpected results!
