Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
I don’t recognize the handwriting on this recipe card so I’m not sure who to attribute this recipe to but nevertheless it sounds like a good one!
Emma’s Cookies
Emma was a feisty little neighbor of Gramzie and Grampzie and an amazing baker. Here’s her recipe for (what I believe are) Hungarian Walnut Roll Cookies.
Editors note: The recipe card seemed to be missing a step or two. After a Google search I found a similar recipe and did my best to fill in the blanks.
Cookie base
2 sticks butter
1 8oz cream cheese
2 cups flour
For the filling
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup ground walnuts
Egg whites or milk – enough to create paste like dough
Mix together cookie base and rollout into rectangles. Cut dough into @ 2 inch by 3 inch squares. Fill squares with walnut mixture and fold closed. Dust with sugar (I just made that up but it sounds like a good idea.)
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes on a cookie sheet.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Another sweet cookie recipe from the recipe box of Gramzie this time with peanut butter.
18 oz creamy peanut butter
2 cups margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 t vanilla
5 cups flour
4 T baking soda
4 cups chocolate chips
preheat oven to 350°. Cream together the peanut butter and margarine. Add sugars, eggs and vanilla. Stir flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir in chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop drop dough into greased cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes.
Mom’s Meatloaf
In case you are in need of a classic meatloaf recipe, here’s one from the archives of Geri Sutter…
By the way, I’m guessing she recommends using a standard bread loaf pan for this sucker. Good luck!
