Cookie Recipes

Jessica asked if I would give the recipes for the cookies I posted. Here they are!

Wreath Cookies
1 stick butter

1 pkg marshmallows (I use mini-marshmallows because they melt faster)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

green food coloring

4 cups corn flakes

cinnamon things

Melt butter and marshmallows over medium heat until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and food coloring. Mix well. Fold in corn flakes until they are all well-covered. Make wreathes on waxed paper or lightly greased cookie sheets. Decorate with cinnamon things. Allow to firm up. ( I like to put them in the refrigerator so they are less sticky when we eat them.)

Italian Cookies

4 cups flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

4 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/4 sticks margarine

1 tablespoon vanilla

Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar in large bowl. Add eggs, margarine and vanilla and mix with hands. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Roll pieces of dough until about the thickness of a pencil and about 7-8 inches long. Twist and place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until bottoms start to brown. Frost with sugar cookie icing. (Sometimes I use frosting, but it doesn't firm up as well.)
