  4. America’s Test Kitchen has the best MASTER Recipe for crispy-on-the-outside-and-gooey-in-the-middle Chocolate Chip Cookies. I modified it to our taste and it still worked. Substituting 1/2 Almond Flour and 1/2 Whole Wheat Flour for All Purpose Flour AND doubling the vanilla. ALL room temperature ingredients are essential.

    Grandma Uebelhor’s Cobbler

    Ingredients

    4 cups fruit

    Batter
    8 tablespoons Margarine (stick)
    1½ cups sugar
    2 cups flour
    1½ teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1-cup milk
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1½ cups sugar
    2 cups boiling water

    Instructions
    Place fruit in 9×13 glass baking pan. Cream Margarine and 1½-cup sugar. Add flour, salt, milk and baking powder. Beat well, spread over fruit. Mix 1½-cup sugar and cornstarch together and sprinkle over batter. Pour boiling water over batter (this will make the pan very full (a tip from my Mom: put the baking pan in the oven and pour the water over the batter. This makes it much easier since you don’t have to carry the pan to the oven and risk spilling it.) Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes – top should be nicely browned.

    Oreo Truffles

    1pkg. Cream Cheese
    1pkg. Oreo cookies
    6 oz. choclolate chips (Milk choclolate) for dipping/drizzle

    Pulse cookies in food proccessor until it makes a fine crumb. It may take a few tries. Also helpful to pulse maybe 10 cookies at a time.
    Place cookie crumbs in a large bowl. Add cream cheese and mix well. Mixture will be a bit stiff.
    Roll into 1 inch balls, place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If dough is too soft, place in fridge for a few minutes.
    Melt chocolate chips and place in a sturdy zip lock bag. Drizzle melted cholcolate on top of cookies. Can also be dipped in the melted cholcolate . Refridgerate so choclolate firms up. Serve on platter and watch them go!!! They are very rich, but very worth it! Enjoy
