Quote januaryrose: I really love fruit cake and will definitely make some of these. I wonder if a 'rum' flavored extract might give them that 'aged' flavor that a fruitcake would have. Are these soft cookies or crispy?
Quote lovelyinlavendar: I am looking for a new/fun cookies recipe - - something that kids and adults alike will love. Have you got any ideas or family favorites? Here is a recipe that is one of our family favorites during the holidays. HOLIDAY FRUIT DROPS 1 cup shortening 2 cups brown sugar (packed) 2 eggs 1/2 cup buttermilk 3 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp soda 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups broken pecans 1 cup candied cherries 1 cup candied pineapple 2 cups cut up dates Mix shortening, sugar and eggs well. Stir in buttermilk. Measure flour by dipping method or by sifting. Blend dry ingredients and stir in. Stir in pecans, cherries, pineapple and dates. Chill 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough about 2-inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Place a pecan half on each cookie, if desired. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until almost no imprint remains when touched lightly. Makes about 8 dozen. Note: If you use self-rising flour, omit soda and salt. These are really delicious. I'm not a fruitcake person, but these are much better. |

I tasted these 3 or 4 years ago and have been making them ever since. My family doesn't think it would be Christmas without them. |

Quote puddycat: Hi Everybody - - I saw this thread up front again and came back to look in. I did not know that mamabing had passed away and did not see anything about it in this thread. Oh Lord, I have printed out at least 10 of her recipes and made about 5 of them. Didn't she have young children or grandchildren. What happened? It must have been sudden. God love here, she gave so much to others here on this thread. You must not have been posting here yet when mama died- there was a thread dedicated to her- |

You're right - - I was offline for almost two months at that time while I was moving. I was wondering why I no longer saw her recipes. She surely took a tremendous amount of time to type all those recipes out. Guess she is cooking for the angels now. |

Quote rudy2: Quote HOT PINK: Quote lovelyinlavendar: I am looking for a new/fun cookies recipe - - something that kids and adults alike will love. Have you got any ideas or family favorites? Here are a few of my favorite cookie recipes that I love to make at Christmas time. I started using cake mix many years ago, and the cookies always turn out beautifully. I'm looking forward to having a bake day with my soon-to-be three year-old grandson this Christmas. Lemon Cookies 1 box Duncan Hines Lemon Cake Mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter 2 eggs 1 can Duncan Hines Lemon Frosting Mix all ingredients until well blended. Dough will be stiff. Form into one inch balls and bake in 375 degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting with Lemon Icing. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix 1/2 (1 stick) melted butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Mix all ingredients until well blended. Dough will be stiff. Form into one inch balls and bake in 375 degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes. I also substitute the chocolate chips with White Chocolate Chips for a nice variation. Raisin Spice Cookies 1 box spice cake mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup raisins Mix all ingredients until well blended. Dough will be stiff. Form into one inch balls and bake in 375 degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes. Carrot Raisin Cookies 1 box carrot cake mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup raisins Mix all ingredients until well blended. Dough will be stiff. Form into one inch balls and bake in 375 degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes. Cream Cheese Frosting 1 box 10x confectioner's sugar 4 oz cream cheese, softened 1 stick butter, softened 1 tsp vanilla 4 tbs half & half In large bowl, blend all ingredients until frosting is smooth. If icing is too thin, add a little more confectioner's sugar. I usually ice the Raisin Spice and Carrot Raisin cookies with the cream cheese frosting once the cookies are completely cooled. With all of the wonderful cake mixes available now, you can bake quite a lot of different cookies to share with your family and friends. And, I guarantee both kids and adults alike will love them. Enjoy! oooooohhhh!~these recipes sound sooo yummy pink!~~an simple too!~lil ole me mite even be able ta handle makin em!~~thanks!~~ the holidays are comin!!!!yikes!~~ rudy2 - Hope you will enjoy making these cookies. And, with so many varieties of cake mixes, you can make a lot of great and different cookies. |

Did come on this thread many times and printed out lots of recipes (just the very simple ones Getting ready to barbeque now for some friends - - I CAN make a good potato salad, and grilling can be done by the men! Have a great remainder of the holiday weekend. |

Hot Pink, I will definitely be copying these recipes too...cookies from cake mixes - what a great variety too! About how many cookies does a batch make? Eppy - Each box of cake mix will make a couple dozen (or more), depending on how big you make the balls of dough. For A LOT of cookies, I'll make the balls around one inch in size; for giant cookies, I'll make the balls two to three inches in size. I usually rolls the dough into balls to make a nice, round cookie. You can also drop them by the spoonfuls. Hope you will enjoy making (and eating) them! |

Quote lovelyinlavendar: No Bake Cookies for Children to Make 2 cups sugar; 1/2 cups butter ;3 Tablespoons cocoa 1/2 cup milk; 3 cup oatmeal; 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla wax paper Directions: Have your wax paper spread and ready for the cookies. An adult can assist with the boiling part. Boil together sugar, butter, cocoa and milk for approx 2 1/2 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla and oatmeal. Stir quickly. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Refridgerate to harden. YUM!! Hi everyone I finally made these cookies and they were very good. Elizabeth enjoyed helping and everyone enjoyed eating them. Here's a recipe I use quite often with leftover mashed potatoes. Potato Puffs 2 eggs 1 cup mashed potatoes one-half cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Oil for deep frying Beat eggs, add potatoes. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir into potato mixture. Heat oil to 375. Drop mixture by heapiing teaspoonfuls into hot oil. Fry 2-3 minutes, turning once, or until brown. They brown quickly. Drain on paper towel. I usually don't fry foods too often, but I do these for a treat and they are so good when just cooked. |
