Pie Crust Cookies- perfect way to use up scraps of pie crust!

Every time I visited my grandmother and she made pies we always made pie crust cookies. They are so good!

Ingredients:
Pie Crust Scraps (I used a Pillsbury pie crust and simply cut out the cookies)
Sugar
Melted Butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.
Place parchment paper in baking sheet if desired (I was out so I use foil)
Place pie scraps or cut outs on baking sheet and brush with butter.
Sprinkle sugar over cookies,
Bake 15-20 minutes until cookies begin to brown.
Allow to cool on rack.

 

*Optional: A cinnamon sugar mixture is also delicious!  Mix 1/4 cp sugar with 2 tbs. cinnamon.

Melt chocolate in microwave in 10 second increments stirring between each increment until smooth, allow to cool slightly.
Cream butter and sugar.  Add melted chocolate and vanilla and cream again.

Slowly add flour, alternating with milk.
Fill liners 3/4 full with cupcake batter.

Inside Out Cupcakes: Perfect for Lunchboxes

Inside Out Cupcakes: Perfect for Lunchboxes

These are PERFECT for lunchboxes!  Whenever my kids would take a cupcake from home they would also have a huge mess of icing smeared everywhere.  Even a cupcake holder like this Fox Run Cupcake-To-Go  that worked still was hard for their little fingers get it out without making a huge mess.

So we started making “Inside Out” Cupcakes! Instead of putting the icing on top- we’d place the icing in the middle as if it was a sandwich. You still get the icing and cake in every bite but it’s so much easier for them!

White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookie Dip

Posted at EST by Leave a Comment 26 May

white chocolate

I LOVE dipping foods!  French Fries into Ketchup, Chips into dip, fingers into icing….

Lowes Foods had a great deal on cream cheese so I was playing on Pintrest  looking for recipes to use it up.

I found this great Cheesecake Batter Dip from IwashYouDry  on Pintrest , so my daughter & I decided to make it today.

It turned out really good except a little too tangy/sour creamy for us (but we’re picky like that!) Since we’re having company over we thought this would be great to serve for everyone so we doubled some things and reduced some  and changed the topping and these are the measurements we ended up with to have a semi tangy but oh so good dip!

 

Ingredients:

  • 2- 8 oz bars of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream (8 oz container)
  • 1  cup cake mix, white
  • 2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • White Chocolate Chip Morsels (optional and amount to taste)

Directions: 

Beat softened sour cream for several minutes- until it’s fluffy.  You may need to scrape the sides several times to keep it going.

Add the extract and sour cream.  Mix until completely combined.  Add the cake mix and sugar, continuously mixing until combined.

Fold in the morsels.

We had to try it- so we dipped in strawberries, graham crackers and Nilla Wafers.  All were AMAZING.
