Yum.

It's your LUCKY day!  I am going to share a top secret recipe with you!!     

I married into this recipe and it's just to good not to spread the love.  I'm sure Grandma Thelma won't mind.

We seriously look for every possible excuse to make these, moist, soft, melt in your mouth cookies.

Hurry and find a reason to make them yourself!

Best-Ever Sugar Cookies

3 cups flour (sifted)

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. soda

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 cup shortening

2 eggs

1 cup suger

2 TBS. milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Sift together dry ingredients.  Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter until well mixed.  In a separate bowl beat eggs and then add sugar, milk and vanilla.  Add to flour mixture and mix well.  On a floured surface roll out to 1/4 in thickness and cut desired shapes.  Bake at 350 for 6 min.

Frosting: Mix 1/2 of a bag (1 lb.) of powdered sugar into one stick of melted butter.  Add 1 tsp. vanilla, and a pinch of salt.  Slowly add milk one TBS. at a time until the frosting stays on the side of the mixing bowl.

Getting started

Excited to get started on this adventure of blogging. I have a few things in life that I'm passionate about and so glad I get to share them with you.

One of those passions is my roll as mother and wife. So cooking and creating new delectable dishes is a fav of mine (even though technically mr. Wonderful did this one). This recipe is a new favorite in our house. We totally devoured it. It's sweet but with a little spice. Enjoy! 

Mango Salsa

2 cups diced Roma tomatoes 5-6 romas

1 1/2 cups diced mango (1 ½ mangos)

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 half bell pepper

1 green onion

½ seeded jalapeno (more for more hot)

 

Process everything but mango and tomatoes first until even. Then add mango and tomatoes. Process to desired thickness and size.
