CUT-OUT COOKIES RECIPE
This recipe is from a 1990 Crisco grocery store give-away pamplet.
2/3 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp + 1 tsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Cream Crisco, sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat in egg. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix into creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll half the dough at a time to about 1/8-inch thickness on floured surface. Cut in desired shapes. Place cookies 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with colored sugar and decors or leave plain to frost when cool. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove to cooling rack.
Makes approximately 3 dozen average-sized cookies.
DATE STICKS
This old recipe is from past church dinners in Iowa.
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1 cup dates, cut into small pieces
granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all the ingredients together in a medium bowl; mix well. Spread in a greased jelly roll pan or a cookie sheet with sides. Bake in a 350 degree for about 30 minutes. When cool, cut into bars and roll them in sugar.
Enjoy!
What to make for a Valentines Day Party?
Alright, I need a recipe that makes about 40. Something that 13-15 year olds would like for valentines day.
I'm already making brownies.
But any kind of cookies that makes alot in 1-2 batches that the kids would like?
I'm open to ideas!
Inexspensive btw. [:

If you have a mini-cupcake pan, go buy a red velvet cake mix and make mini-cupcakes, topped with a swirl of whipped cream cheese frosting. You can decorate them with red and pink sugar and candy hearts. A box of cake mix should make about 4 dozen mini cupcakes.
