Makes 6-7 dozen A co-worker gave this recipe to me many years ago. I cannot even tell you how many times I have made these cookies. I took them to a gathering last night and was asked for the recipe by a new friend. I told her I was pretty sure they were on my blog. I got a message from her this morning saying they were not. I was shocked I hadn’t shared them yet – they are that good. It makes a large batch so they are perfect for a cookie exchange too. Enjoy. Ingredie

Ingredients 2 cups crisped rice cereal, like Rice Krispies 1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter 1/3 cup white Karo syrup 1½ quarts softened ice cream (I used two different flavors) Directions In a large bowl, stir

Are you always looking for ways to use up a few bananas? I love bananas but I don’t like them very ripe so I never manage to eat them fast enough before they get to spotted for my taste. This recipe makes two big loaves of delicious bread, but it is easy to cut it in half and make one loaf. Or make the two loaves and freeze one for later. Whatever you choose I doubt you will be disappointed. Enjoy. Ingredients 1-cup butter, softened 2 cups white sugar 4 eggs, room tempera

I am always looking for new cookie recipes. I love cookies. There probably isn’t one I wouldn’t try. And I like cookies that make a big batch. Maybe because I like to share – so I will have plenty to give and a few to keep. These are great. A nice crunch, but a little chewy in the middle and lots of chocolate. A great addition to a backyard barbeque or picnic. Enjoy. Ingredients 1-cup all-purpose flour ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. baking soda ¼ tsp. salt ½ cup unsalted

If you are looking for a yummy chocolate fix this cookie might be for you. If you like a tiny bit of heat with your chocolate, this is definitely the cookie for you! It doesn’t have a lot of heat just a touch at the end – but if you like the heat you can always spice it up a little more. It’s a fun way to change up a chocolate drop cookie. Enjoy.
