Yes that's right only 3 more days until the big day! Are you ready? I'm not. Still have gifts to wrap. I work better under pressure.
I did manage to get some cookies baked yesterday and thought I would share that with you.
These are my hubby's favorite cookies. The recipe is from Pillsbury's America's 30th Bake-Off cookbook, that I purchased for $1.98 in 1982. Been making 'em every year since.
It's a very simple recipe. The dough is just 4 ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 small package of instant chocolate pudding
1 egg
2 cups of flour
Oh yeah, roll them into 1 inch balls before you roll them in the sugar. I used gourmet or sanding sugar, it has bigger granules and I like it because it's sparkly.
Using your thumb make an imprint in the center of each cookie before baking.
While cookies are cooling melt 3 tablespoons butter or margarine and 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
I used my homemade strawberry freezer jam, but you could use any flavor you like. Next year I think I'm going to try putting a cherry in each one. It would be like a chocolate covered cherry candy. Yum!
Spoon the chocolate over each cookie making sure to cover the preserves. Once they set up, eat them!
Recipe makes approximately 48 cookies, depending on how big you make them. I hope you try them! Thanks for stopping in.
