Fresh Peach Pie

Mix
1 cup sugar
3 T cornstarch
1/2 c cold water
1/4 t nutmeg
3 blended peaches

Cook over medium heat until it boils. Boil 2 minuets. Cool slightly.
Slice 5-6 peaches into baked crust. Pour sauce over. Chill.

I buy the Marie Calenders two pack. They are small so you can get two pies out of 1 mixture of the sauce. Sometimes we use more than 6 peaches. It just depends on what we have.

Homemade Oreos

1 box devil's food cake mix (Betty Crocker brand works well)
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar

In a large bowl combine cake mix, the 3/4 cup butter, and eggs. Chill about 10 minutes. Roll into small balls. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes. Then let them cool.

To prepare filling, beat cream cheese, the 1/2 cup butter, and vanilla together. Add powdered sugar and mix together. Spread filling on top of cookie, and then top with another cookie. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

*If filling seems to runny then add more powder sugar until it is as thick as you want.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
5 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon salt
1 package chocolate chips, milk chocolate or semi sweet whatever you prefer

Cream together sortening and sugars; beatin vanilla and eggs; sift flour, soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.

Bake @ 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes on greased baking sheet.

Lion House Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Twist

1 cup butter (softened)
¾ cup shortening
1 ¾ cup brown sugar
1 ¼ cup white sugar
4 eggs
5 ½ Tbs. Water
1 ½ tsp. Vanilla
6 cups flour
1 large pkg. Instant Vanilla Pudding mix (dry)
1 ½ tsp. Salt
1 ½ tsp. Baking soda
1 bag chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, shortening and sugars. Add eggs, water and vanilla and mix until smooth and creamy (this adds air into the eggs and makes the cookies fluffier).

Add flour, pudding mix, salt, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Mix Well (I use my hands). You want the dough not to stick to your hands too easily – so add more flour if it is very sticky when mixing it.

Spray the cookie sheet with cooking spray, and evenly space tablespoon-size balls of the cookie dough on it. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are barely turning light brown. So, start at 8, and then check them from there on out.

Chocolate-Scotchies

2 1/2 cups of flour
2 sticks of softened butter
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of vanilla
1 dry package of instant chocolate pudding
1 package of butterscotch chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Cream the butter and add the sugars. Add the eggs then add the salt, baking soda, and vanilla. Add the dry package of pudding. Add the flour a little bit at a time, don't over mix. Mix in the chips by hand.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Every oven cooks differently so you should watch these the first time, because they are dark it might be hard to tell if they are done or not.
