Cow Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Cover baking sheets with wax paper and set aside.
• Combine sugar and cocoa in a large saucepan. Stir in milk, butter and peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts and mixture is combined, about 5-20 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in the vanilla, oats and nuts, and mix thoroughly. Take a teaspoon and scoop out a spoonful of the mixture; drop the spoonful onto the waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Place in the refrigerator until the cookies are cooled and set. Store the cookies in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and line a plate with wax paper.
• For the nuts: Melt the butter in a skillet and add the brown sugar and a pinch salt. Cook until the butter starts to bubble, about 3 minutes, then add the almonds and peanuts and stir to coat the nuts completely. Sprinkle over the cinnamon and stir until incorporated. Transfer to the lined plate and set aside to cool.
• For the dough: Cream together the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, scraping the sides once, until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
• Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, then add in batches to the mixer, mixing until just combined after each addition. Gently stir in the chocolate chips, dried cranberries and reserved cooled nuts.
• Using a 1/3-cup scoop, add portions of the dough to the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
• Bake until the middles of the cookies are set, about 20 minutes. They will be fragile at this stage, so let them cool for 10 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in raisins and almonds. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine all ingredients except bacon. Mix well.
• Form meat mixture into 6 patties. Be sure they are not very thick.
• Wrap one slice of bacon around each patty. Secure bacon with tooth picks.
• Place in greased 9x13 casserole dish.
• Bake 20-30 minutes.
• Don't forget to remove tooth picks before serving.

Steps:

• Boil the first five ingredients for 5 minutes. Then add the last three ingredients. Stir.
• Remove from heat.
• While hot, drop by spoonful onto waxed paper.

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or in a bowl set over a pan of boiling water. Pour in the raisins, almonds and peanuts and stir to combine. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, place mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave to sit at room temperature or in the fridge for 5 minutes to set. Package in gift sacks!
