Mrs. Richard (Betty) Berry Boiled Peanut Butter Cookies Bluefield College Virginia

Bluefield College is a small Christian Liberal Arts School in Virginia - it's on the border of West VA and VA.

  I figure this boiled cookies recipe is either June's or Bernice's recipe.  It may be June's, becuase she was a teacher, and intereacted with a lot of other teachers from all over...Or more probably it may have been Bernice's because she was a pastor's wife, and knew many other people from Christian backgrounds.  I tried to google Mrs. Betty Berry.  There seem to be several other Berrys still attending Bluefield College....but I still need to do an ancestry search on Mrs. Berry.  I am curious!  It makes me think I need to go back through all my recipes and put notes about how and where and when I got MY recipes from friends.  That way my descendants will know a little bit more about me and not have to wonder......

Family Recipe Friday: Chocolate or Vanilla Spritzkuchen Cookies with Fluffo!

June was very good friends with a couple of Mary's,

so I am not going to guess which Mary this recipe is from. 

All I know if that they sound like good cookies to make for Easter. 

Or anytime!

And here is another recipe for FLUFFO!  

Maybe I should have just designated this as

FLUFFO week!

It just cracks me up.

(You can use Crisco instead of Fluffo.)

Sounds like a dog's name!

Or instead of "Here kitty, kitty."...

"Here, Fluffo!"

Thinking of Easter...

Fluffo would be a fantastic name for any Easter chicks or bunnies.

If you get live ones that is. 

Someday, I will have to get a good laying hen

and name her Fluffo! 

Have a good weekend everyone! 

Fluffo Jam Sandwich Cookie Bars

Word of the day:

FLUFFO!

This was a new one to me.

Maybe I'm just dating myself,

How many of you have ever used FLUFFO?

How many of your grandmothers have ever used FLUFFO?

You should ask them!

These jam sandwich cookies sound like a precursor to

a power breakfast bar. 

Not anything you really worried about

back in the days of

FLUFFO!

While you're at it though...

don't forget to take off the paper before you bake the cookies!

ANd for more tidbits on FLUFFO, do a search on youtube....

Nowadays you can probably use Crisco shortening instead. 

Hello Dolly! Chocolate Chip Seven Layer Kitchen Sink Bar Cookies

Well, HELLO DOLLY! 

After yesterday's dump cake kind of a day,

I thought these decadent bars would be appropriate. 

Today is another day!

Plus they are SO easy!

Sweeten the rest of your week with these babies!

 Your family, friends, and co-workers will love you for it.

I think this is one of June's recipes. 

She had beautiful hand-writiing!

I would say it is because she was an artist...

but I have an art degree and MY handwriting is

nothing to write home about, especially as I get older :D

June liked to make dessert part of every evening meal.

I imagine this was one that was easy to make in a hurry,

either for dinner or to take to school or church.

We should all take a little more time to sweeten our days!

Orange Slice Cookies

My dear hubby told of a cookie he used to eat when he was a boy.  I had never heard of Orange Slice cookies, but thought I'd look for the recipe and make him happy.  I made them, and yes, by golly, he was happy!  

then I lost the recipe. 

Hooray for the internet!  After trying a few other recipes, both my hubby & my son said

this was THE recipe!

 It;s very easy.  I start by chopping the candy orange slices (not a real orange!) by dipping my kitchen scissors in flour or sugar - that way they don't get too sticky and clump up on the scissors or knife!   Then I grab a damp paper towel, the scissors and the orange slices and head to the TV to watch a show while I sit and cut the slices.  I use the damp paper towel to occassionally wipe the candy goop off of the scissors.  After I am done, I mix all the ingredients together.

 Then I roll them into little 1" balls and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Be careful and don't tilt the cookie sheet....

 Or you will end up with a big clump of little 1" cookie balls!

don't ask me how I know this..... :D

 Bake for recommended time - my oven usually takes a bit longer, but I try to undercook them ever so slightly so they still remain chewy.

 

Yum.  Excuse me while I devour the whole cookie sheet.....

I'd like to thank southernfood.about.com for saving my hide and having this recipe on their website after I lost it the first time!
