1 c. oleo

1 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

3 c. flour

2 tsp. soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1 bag of chocolate stars

Cream together oleo and sugars, Beat in eggs. Add flour, salt, and soda to the creamed mixture. Then mins in peanut butter and vanilla. Roll teaspoon of dough in sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. When cookies are done, place a chocolate star in center of each.

These are me dad's favorite cookies. They're the best when they come right out of the oven. These are about the easiest cookies that you could make. My mom usually makes them around Christmas the most because one batch makes a lot, which when going to all these parties, goes a long ways.

I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a recipe to follow because I always follow the recipe. If anything, I would make my own cake. It would be a very chocolate cake with fudge frosting. I would add my own touches of course.

Fried Dough's

This is a super easy after school snack or a quick breakfast to go food. My mom used to make it all the time when she was younger. Something like this is what I like to make because you can use it with anything or for anything. Its really yummy too. :) I personally like it with a lot of cinnamon, but that's just me. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 pkg. of frozen dinner rolls

Vegetable oil

Butter

In an 11 in. round pan, coat the bottom with vegetable oil. Let the oil heat for 3 minutes. Pull dough flat to the size of your palm. Place in pan until bottom side is light brown then flip. Once both sides are light brown, remove and place on paper towels on a plate. Damp the bread to remove excess grease. Then top with butter, jelly, cinnamon sugar, or anything you desire. Enjoy!

(These can also be stored and reheated whenever.)
