Maybe it's because I'm reading this book.....
...and plan to read this one next......
and am therefore channeling my inner "Southern Belle", but I have decided to do trays of baked goods as Christmas gifts for my local friends.
I plan to make our family favorite~ Cream Cheese Brownies~ but I need some other ideas.
That's where y'all come in.
I need any easy, tasty, fool-proof cookie or candy recipes that y'all are willing to share.
So c'mon, all you Martha Stewarts out there!
Help a bitch out!
You can leave the recipe in a comment or email me at free2pups@yahoo.com
Thanks!!!!
sorry
ReplyDeletecookies were never my forte...
if you'd like detailed instructions on how to gut a deer and turn it into sausage and smoke it
then i could help
but cookies
not so much
maybe i'll ask my daughter
Well, I ain't no cook but it should be something with peanut butter. All us southerners love us some peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any recipes but those cream cheese brownies sound delicious. YUM YUM!

Oh, Big Pissy, you know I can hardly boil water let alone make a tasty treat ...
ReplyDelete... but I hear a reefer mixed in with a brownie is a real winner at the family dinner table (would Roseanne approve?), although I've never had one.
Oh, yes, I wouldn't recommend reading my blog entry from yesterday if you're trying to work up an appetite.
How about peanut butter balls (aka Buckeyes)? I have lots of cookie recipes but none are easy and I'm staying away from the cookbooks right now.
ReplyDeleteI make the worlds greatest cookies (well, according to Chubbs!). I'll email it to you
ReplyDeleteDo the no bake cookies! And you can always do green sprinkled sugar cookies shaped like X-mas trees as filler. Sugar cookies are the baby's breath of the cookie community, right?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't deal with candy- we don't make candy??? Toss in some peppermints or candycanes, the baby's breath of the candy community... :) I'm generic...
Coconut Macaroons
ReplyDelete14 oz sweetened, shredded coconut
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 room temperature extra large egg whites
¼ tsp kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.
Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using either a 1 3/4-inch diameter ice cream scoop, or two teaspoons. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and serve.
Gooey Butter Cookies-
ReplyDelete(Nowherville Specialty)
8 ounces cream cheese- softened
1/2 cup real butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 18.5-ounce package yellow butter cake mix
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Add cake mix, and stir until well blended. Roll into 1" balls and then roll the balls in the powdered sugar. Place 1 inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, preferably on PARCHMENT PAPER.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Until JUST starting to brown. Supposed to be a bit "gooey" on the inside. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
Both easy.
ReplyDeleteBoth get MAD compliments every time
Peanut butter cookies with white chocolate recess peanut butter cups on top. Don't have time to send you the recipe, so just use Pillsbury's peanut butter cookie dough and slap a white chocolate recess peanut butter cup on top.
ReplyDeleteYou won't be disappointed!
I meant to say Reeces Peanut Butter cups...I can't spell sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOh... and Grandma Nowhere Peanut Butter Blosooms
ReplyDeleteI can't cook... but this Suburban Bitch does some serious holiday baking (I also have them readily on my hard drive)!
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
54 milk chocolate kisses or stars
1. In a large mixing bowl beat the shortening and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Add the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat until combined, scraping the sides of bowl. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree F oven 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie's center. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool. Makes about 54 cookies.
I will email you recipes because making cookies and doing up plates for the neighbors is what I'm all about!
ReplyDeleteBaking Christmas cookies, even when I don't have time, is one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season. Baking relaxes me, so I'm there for ya sugar dumplin. Just give me until tomorrow to get my shit together and email. Tonight the kids and I are getting the Christmas decorations out.
Your too much. I wanted to email you just a few short hours ago and no mail. I then bash you in a post just for you and then I come back during my rounds and whoa and behold a freakin email. Hm?
ReplyDeleteThere is also a cookie recipe, very versatile, just freshly posted this week. So get your mail and check out the cookies.
An old KC family recipe:
ReplyDeletecheck wallet for money

Rave reviews every time!
I could kiss you, Nowhere Girl. Someone made me some of those peanut butter cookies a while back and I've been wanting the recipe ever since.
ReplyDeletePissy, I'm not very good at cookies and candies, but yesterday I posted a recipe for Oatmeal-fruit bread that gets pretty good reviews from my friends.
How many calories are in this post and all the comments?
ReplyDeleteI'll email you some pretty easy favorites as soon as I can. Maybe even something Polish!
ReplyDeleteI've always given baked goods to everyone at work.
Gooey butter cake...mmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with a brittle. Or a toffee. super easy and mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!! I am doing the same thing and found ceramic plates with christmas adornment for a dollar a piece!
ReplyDeleteI love those titles!
ReplyDeleteI am not huge in baking. But I make awesome brownies! I use Betty Crocker Supreme brownie mix. And I drop Reeses popables in after I spread the mix in the pan. Or I sometimes make them in muffin pans and use the mimi Reese cups. 28 min in a pan, 14 for muffins at 350
I do love cream cheese brownies too!
ReplyDeleteOh I got a recipe for ya...
But it requires 15 pounds of marijuana, and some Cubans.
I thought I was the only one that had your e-mail. Now I feel sad =(
I don't think you want any of my recipes haha. But you can send me any baked goods you want
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these and so easy. I put 2 recipes here.
ReplyDeleteCornflake Wreath Cookies
1/2 cup butter
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp green food color
4 cups corn flakes
red hot candies
silver dragées
Melt butter, add marshmallows, stirring until all marshmallows are melted. Add extracts and food coloring; stir until it is a uniform green color. When mixture is smooth, add corn flakes; mix well but gently so as not to crush the cornflakes. Form into wreath shapes on sheets of waxed paper, decorate with red cinnamon candies and silver dragées. Let cool.
PS I don't know what dragees are, my mom and me and my brother only used the red hots on the wreaths.
Candy Cane Cookies
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring OR 3/4 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
1/2 cup white sugar
Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix butter sugar, egg, and flavorings thoroughly. Add flour and salt, Mix well. Shape dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap; chill for at least 2 hours or until easy to handle. Roll into 4 inch strips; place on baking sheet. Curve top down to form handle or cane. Bake 9 minutes. While still warm, remove from pan and sprinkle with candy and sugar mixture.
Dough may be divided in half and colored with 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring if desired. Roll each color into strips, place side by side, press together lightly and twist like a rope.
the only kind I make are chocolate chip....I buy the rest....lol...but I can tell you where some good bakeries are....lmao
ReplyDeleteAre you going to print all the recipes you get and send us a cookbook of them?
ReplyDeleteGo buy a bunch of Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chips. The cookie recipe is on the back. Or just buy Oreos and skip the recipe entirely.
ReplyDeleteWow, guys!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for coming through with the recipes!
