A collection of recipes...either ones I've kind of made up or ones given to me. The exactness of some of the measures may be off as I cook by eyeballing amounts and time things as "done" by if I can smell them elsewhere in the house.
Fido's Peanut Butter Balls
1 cup of peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
Mix together roll into balls squish with fork, bake at 350 on a parchment covered cookie sheet for 12-14 mins
TO Make Palatable to Humans: Add 1 cup sugar to the dough. Follow everything else the same
Grandma's sugar cookies
1/2 cup margarine ( better than butter, helps cookies hold shape during baking)
1/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup sugar ( do not use sugar substitute)
2 eggs
1 teas. lemon extract ( or any other flavoring)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teas. baking powder
1 teas. salt
Mix thoroughly shortening, margarine, eggs and flavoring. Blend in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and chill at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll flour out to desired thickness. Thin dough will be a crisper cookie, thick will result in a cakier, softer cookie. Keep unused dough chilled until ready to use. Cut out shapes. Place on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Bake 8 mins till set but not browned.
Cool on rack.
decorate if desired. Freezes beautifully.
