Hmm... I knew it was you who posted that recipe, but then I started second-guessing myself about it since you seemed flustered too. But yeah, those are good! And they loved them at work today too. Highly recommended!

i didn't know those were called mexican wedding cakes. lol. i have my great grandmothers recipe...it was labeled nut cresents. i use pecans too. i make a batch and put cocoa powder in it and no nuts..since my son doesn't like nuts. i shape those in balls. hehehe..he named them dirty snowballs when he was little. ( i add some cocoa powder to the powdered sugar to roll them in too. also yummy if you add a dash of cinnamon....can you tell i NEVER leave recipes alone? )


thank you for posting this. i hope everyone makes them. they are such a favorite with everyone. melt in your mouth!!!!

this is an easy easy recipe.

1 package ( 18-14 oz) Lemon Cake Mix. With pudding works the best (use dry)
2 1/4 cups Frozen Whipped Topping, thawed. ( Cool Whip type. I buy the cheapo store brand)
1 Egg
Confectioners sugar ( powdered sugar)

In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, whipped topping and egg. Beat with electric mixer until blended. Batter will be VERY sticky. Drop by teaspoons into confectioners sugar; roll lightly to coat. Place on ungreased cookie shees. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or lightly browned. Makes 5-6 dozen.

Probably everybody has this recipe but since I'm not a baker or a cooker, I wouldn't know, LOL.

But they are yummy!

Peanut Blossom Cookies
(from the Madison County Cookbook)

1 C. shortening or margarine
1 C. creamy peanut butter
1 C. sugar
1 C. brown sugar
2 eggs
4 T. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 C. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Chocolate stars, kisses, Reeses peanut butter cup miniatures, or whatever your choice. (You can also do seasonal cookies with chocolate hearts, bells, or eggs. (Peanut butter cups tend to be the favorite).

Cream shortening, peanut butter, and sugars. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, then shape into balls. Roll balls in sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 6-7 minutes. Take them out of the oven, press the candy piece down into the middle of the cookie, and place back in the oven for 2-3 more minutes.

Some quirky tips:
*Mix the dough and chill it in the refrigerator overnight before baking. It helps make shaping the dough into balls easier.

**If you go with peanut butter cups, Reeses miniatures are the best. I tried the generic kind one time and they didn't turn out as well.

*Baking times are approximate. I had to experiment a lot to come up with my ratio. Just watch the first few batches and you'll find out how your oven works with this recipe.

Oh, and my daughter said she's had them with those Andes mints in them, and said those were good. This weekend I'm going to try a few of my batch with carmeled/sugared pecans in them.

these are great doody. i make them after just about every holiday. (especially easter and valentines day) da monkey always seem to get lots of little hershey kisses and the little peanut butter cups. hmm...wonder why?

with all the new flavors hershey's makes of the kisses now...they make a pretty plate of cookies.

Can someone tell me again how much a "stick" of butter weighs?
I last asked this question in 1998. I think my brain is losing neurones or something.
ounces is OK.
I can convert that myself.

Ta.

[Alffe]

Ta? A stick of butter weighs 4 oz. (118.4g) @ Lara

[Lara]
