Cyber Cookie recipe exchange

sea60

I LOVE cookies. I love to bake them and I love to eat them. Even at the height of my Chemo during the Holidays, I ate them despite the metallic taste.

So, with the expectation of Christmas, please share your FAVORITE cookie recipe.

I make this one every year. It's called different things but I like to call it a Butter Crescent. My Mom used to make these when I was little. They melt in your mouth!

Preheat oven to 325

Here's the super easy recipe, mix in this order:

Cream 2 sticks of butter
Blend in 3/4 cup of Confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups of flour
1 tablespoon of ice water (mix into a soft dough)
2 cups of chopped pecans
flour your hands and form them into a crescent the size of your ring finger
Bake on greased cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes or until firm but not brown

Immediately roll in confectioner's sugar while warm, then again when cooled.

Enjoy!!

Merry Christmas my Sisters!!

Almond Graham Cracker Bars
I love this idea and I love Christmas cookies too!

Use jelly roll pan and spry with Pam.
Use 12 graham crackers to line pan.

Sprinkle 6 oz. sliced almonds over them.

Boil 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar for 1 minute.

Pour over crackers.
Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Cool, cut, & enjoy!


Merry Christmas to all my pink warriors!
Hugs, Jean

pecan tassies
these were my dad's favorite christmas cookies! i couldn't bring myself to bake them for several years after he died. now it still makes me sad, but i smile when i remember how much he enjoyed them.

for the dough. . .

1/2 cup butter
1/2 of an 8oz. cream cheese
1 cup flour

let butter and cream cheese soften to room temperature. mix together. add flour and mix to form a soft dough. chill at least an hour (or overnight). form the dough in 30 walnut sized balls. place each ball of dough into a mini-muffin cup. press dough to form a little tart shell (i have a wooden tart shaper, but you can do it by hand too)

for the filling. . .

2 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 cups of chopped pecans
1 teaspoon of vanilla

mix all the ingredients until well blended. fill each unbaked tart shell. bake in 350 oven for 15 to 20 minutes. dust tops with powdered sugar when cool.

enjoy!!!

5 Minute Fudge Wreath
I don't have sweet tooth and rarely eat cakes, candy, cookies...but Reggie will bake at a moments notice! So, I don't have any special cookie recipes, but I have a quick fudge recipe! One bite and your teeth will rot in your head~ LOL Which means a little goes a long, long way! And, it's holiday pretty, too!!!

1 (12 0z) bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
9 oz butterscotch chips
1 (14 oz) can of Sweetened, Condensed Milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz walnut halves
2 handfuls of craisins or currants, optional

Lightly grease an 8" cake pan with softened butter

Place a heavy pot on the stove and pre-heat it over low heat. Add both varietes of chip and the sweetened condensed milk and stir until it melts. SAVE THE EMPTY MILK CAN!
Stir in vanilla and remove from the heat. Gently add nuts and craisins and stir in immediately!

Wrap the empty milk can with saran wrap and center it in the middle of the buttered cake pan. Spoon the hot fudge mix into the cake pan and make sure it is evenly distributed.

This fudge will set up almost INSTANTLY! Chill in the fridge...it is extremely sweet and rich, so serve in tiny, thin slices. Again, a little of this goes a long long way!

Hugs, calories, cavities, and a sugar rush to all who dare try this! LOL
