Lemon Meltaways

This is before frosting! 1 ¼ c flour ½ c cornstarch 1/3 c powdered sugar ¾ c soft butter 1 TBS grated lemon peel 1 TBS lemon juice *best if fresh squeezed! Combine on low speed. Divide the dough in half.  Shape each mound into a half inch roll, 6-8 inches long.   Work it like play dough.   Gently wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1-2 hours or 30 minutes in the freezer.   With a sharp knife, slice the roll into ¼ inch pieces.   It reminds me of banana slices for a sundae. Place on a cookie sheet and bake away! Bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes.  They don’t brown or spread- they just get a little puffy.  Cook completely before frosting. Frosting: ¾ c powdered sugar ¼ c soft butter 1 TBS grated lemon peel 1 TBS lemon juice  *best if fresh squeezed!

Fruited Chicken Salad

Fruited Chicken Salad 10+ servings Ingredients: 5-8 c cooked Bowtie Pasta, cooled 3-4 Chicken Breasts, cooked and diced, and cooled 2 cans drained Mandarin Oranges 2 cans Water Chestnuts, dice a bit Large Bunch of Grapes, halved Dressing: 1 c Mayo 1/2 tsp-1tsp Curry Combine  ingredients in a large bowl. Mix dressing ingredient well, then coat ingredients well by stirring well. Refrigerate before serving.  You can absolutely half the recipe, but it keeps really well in the fridge for several days, so I always make a huge bowl of it.  I apologize the ingredient measurements aren't spot on, but it's a very forgiving recipe, one that I just whip up and never really need exact measurements for. Warning: If your pasta and chicken isn't cooled really well, it will ruin the dressing, in a bad way. I recommend making your chicken well in advance.

Sugar Cookie Bars

Okay, these are the best way to do sugar cookies FAST.  And I mean, FAST! My life-long friend Mykalee share them with me, and I'm not sure where she dug this gem of a recipe up, but it's become a huge hit in our home.  recently, it was requested by several friends from the cast of The Wizard of Oz, and I am flattered they've loved them so much they want a copy of the recipe!  So, friends, here it is! Sugar Cookie Bars Yields: At least 3 dozen Time: 45 minutes 1 c soft Margarine 2 c Sugar 4 Eggs 2 tsp Vanilla 1 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Soda 5 c Flour Yup, that's it.  Mix all the ingredients well and then I do lightly grease my cookie pan before manipulating the dough into it.  I also spray my rolling pin and hands a bit too and it works so much easier than dusting with flour, IMO. Get the dough in that cookie sheet until you've got one smooth and large rectangular cookie.  We'll cut it up AFTER we bake it. Bake at 375* for 10-15 minutes....
