I love to experiment with incorporating new ingredients into a traditional cookie, so you might enjoy this twist on the traditional oatmeal cookie. I added a bag of Heath Toffee Bits instead of raisins. I think they turned out yummy! Next time I might add chocolate chips as well for an added flavor dimension. Hope you like this! Ingredients 1/2 cup butter softened at room temperature 1/2 cup Crisco (regular or butter flavored) 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 eggs 1 1/2 cup flour 3 cups Oatmeal (not instant) 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 bag Heath Toffee Bits Directions

I recently baked some cookies as a thank you gift (who doesn't want cookies??) and decided to take my favorite sugar cookie and bump it up a notch. You can use my recipe below or bake your favorite cut out cookie and then dip half the cooled cookie in melted chocolate. I have two variations here, but the options are endless. By mixing your cookie cutter shapes and colors of dipping chocolate you have an endless assortment of thank you cookies. Ingredients 1 lb. (4 sticks) of butter softened to room temperature 1 box (8 oz) cream cheese softened to room temperature 2 cups granulated sugar 2 egg yolks (save the whites for another project) 4 1/2 cups flour (plus 1 cup extra to use when rolling out the cookies) 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 or more bags of Wilton's melting wafers - any color or flavor 2 - 3 Tablespoons Crisco Directions
Here is the same cookie dipped in red melting chocolate and swirls of blue chocolate for a Memorial Day or 4th of July theme cookie. Enjoy! A few weeks ago I visited my Seattle family and picked up several bags of dried cherries at the airport. I know you can get dried cherries at the grocery store, but somehow the ones from Washington state seem sweeter. I created the recipe below so that I could incorporate one bag of the dried cherries into my favorite shortbread cookie recipe. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients 1 lb. (4 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature 2/3 cup sugar 2 tsp. almond extract 4 cups all purpose flour 1 cup whole almonds 1 12 oz. package of dried cherries Directions
