Yesterday Sunday I was in Super one. I
bought three bags of Candy We don't get door knockers for Halloween
but Murphette, Alice does. Like usually they seem to be short on
funds. Grab threads out of there pockets to make though the month.
After work I stop in at Muphette gave
her bag of candy and a dozen cookies I made up. My first cousin once
remove Bess was there. Told me that Alice was helping out Aunt Nancy.
Then I stop in at Alice but her
ex-husband Marium answered the door. Found out she was out taking
care of some business. So I gave the dozen cookies and bag of candy
to her Ex.
The third bag of candy and dozen
cookies went to my new client who don't seem to struggle as much as
some of I've seen.
Melt In Your Mouth Cookies. (short bread cookie)
Put these wet ingredients in a bowl...1
cup of butter (2 sticks) at room temperature , 1 cup of powder sugar,
2 teaspoons of maraschino cherry juice, (the rest can be save or
tossed out, juice that is),1/4 cup of maraschino cherries ( I got an
4oz jar when chop it was just slight under the ¼ cup) ½ teaspoon of
almond extract...mix together.
Then you want to chop and add these
ingredients..¼ of mini chocolate chips, ¼ of finely chop pecan ( I
just bought a ¼ cup bag) 2 ¼ cup of flour, add to flour is ½
teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ of salt (I didn't add the salt
because I use salted butter) and few drops of food coloring if you
like.
Mix dry and chopped ingredients with
wet ingredients.
I like to have my cookie dough rest so
I place it in the refrigerator as I did up dishes. Half hour or so.
Place 1 inch cookie ball on un-grease
cookie. 2 inches a part slight press down on cookie dough.
Bake for 10 to 13 minute until done at
350ยบ One might have to
lift up on cookie to see if there done. Look for golden brown on
bottom. Had trouble tell when cookies was done.
Coffee is on
These look just delectable! And how sweet of you to help those around you at this festive time of the year! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteLast time I gave cookies to a neighbor, he said he was on a diet and begged me not to tempt him anymore.
