Housewarming cookies

I swear, this is the last cookie post for at least a day! I made cookies for a housewarming, and went with the Martha Stewart chocolate sandwhich cookies, decorated with little houses. I made them in a bit of a hurry, so they aren't perfect, but they were fun, and were a hit with the kids and adults alike. I noticed that they were all gone before we left!

100 posts!!!

How cool! It's surprising - I still feel like I just started this blog. I'm certainly not the pro that so many of the bloggers I'm addicted to are.


And yes, I'm back. I'll be travelling a lot this month, since it's my last month of freedom before starting work (like a grown-up), and I'm still unpacking and getting settled in my new place. So, I may not be as diligent as I'd like, but the bar is over, and I should be able to stay at least mildly on top of things.




For sitting through my update, a contest!

Comment to enter. Winner gets 1 dozen chocolate sandwich cookies (you can choose to have them filled with vanilla, chocolate, or mint cream). Winner will be chosen at random and announced at the end of the month.

No barbri-que!

I know, I'm a dork. We didn't have BarBri class today, so last night we had a bar-b-que. I whipped up a couple of things for it - sandwich cookies from the Martha Stewart cookbook and corn pudding from the W&L cookbook.
These cookies were a cocoa recipe, and I was really pleased with it! The filling is absolutely perfect, and the cookies were an absolute hit!
The corn pudding was a recipe from the W&L cookbook, and it was a real winner. I received complements from everyone on it - even the hard-to-please people! And it's one of the easiest recipes I've attempted lately! I doubled the recipe, but the regular recipe made plenty!

Corn Pudding

1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
1 (17 oz) can cream corn (not drained)
1 (17 oz) can whole kernel corn (not drained)
2 eggs, well beaten)
1 (8 oz) container sour cream (I used low fat, and couldn't tell I was missing anything).
sugar to taste (I didn't use any, and again, didn't think I was missing anything - and we're southern)
1 stick butter, melted

Mix all ingredients.
Bake in 9x9 (2 quart) casserole dish at 350 for about 45-50 minutes.
