Play Dough Cookies

I have to say when I read this I thought of you Brandee! I know you'll have so much fun with Rylie making these!




Play Dough Cookies

3/4 C butter
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
2 and 3/4 C flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
assorted food coloring (gel or paste works best)

...1. In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
2. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir until soft dough forms. Divide dough into Fourths. Tint each with a different food coloring. Wrap in plastic and chill for two hours. (I stuck it in the freezer for 15 minutes because I hate to wait!)
3. Preheat oven to 350. Shape colors into 3/4 inch balls. For each cookie place one pink, one orange, one green, and one blue ball together and roll to make one giant ball. Roll into a 12 inch long snake, and then starting at one end coil roll to make a cookie. Place cookies 2 to 3 inches apart on greased cookie sheet to allow for spreading.
4. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool and store in an airtight container.Enjoy!

Maple Pecan Cookies

Maple Pecan Cookies
http://www.calamityanne.com/

You'll Need
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (Hellman's)
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
Preheat oven oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed for three minutes until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and mayonnaise and mix until well blended. Add the maple syrup and blend well.
In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture by spoonfuls to the brown sugar mixture until well incorporated. Fold in the pecans until well incorporated. Cover the cookie mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Using a 1" scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto either a wax paper -or- parchment-lined cookie sheet (I recommend using a new sheet with every batch). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool for a minute before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to completely cool. Store in an airtight container.
Makes 1 cookie shy of 5 dozen
