Meatball Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• Cream the butter margarine or shortening, white sugar, eggs and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, stir the flour, 2/3 cup cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Add flour mixture to butter mixture. If too sticky add more flour, if too dry add a little milk. Add nuts and mix with hands. Must be of consistency to roll into little 1/2 - 1 inch balls.
• After you have cookie dough to handling consistency by adjusting it with either the flour or milk, roll into little balls, place on the cookie sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, cookie should be firm. Do not overcook. Remove from oven, let rest on the sheet for a few moments and remove to wax paper. When cool, frost with confectioner's sugar and cocoa glaze.
• To Make Glaze: Combine 4 cups confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa, add about 1/2 cup milk. Consistency should be of a glaze. Pour small amount of glaze over each cookie (about 1 tsp.). Decorate with sprinkles while glaze is still wet.

Steps:

• Mix meats, eggs, crumbs, onion and salt all together and roll into 1" balls.
• Brown in a little oil.
• Mix sauce ingredients together. Add meat balls.
• Bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl add the meats and blend together with your hands.
• Add the onion, parsley, pepper, and garlic salt. Mix again with your hands until all the seasonings are well blended with the meat.
• In a bowl beat the eggs until well beaten. While mixing the egg into the meat mixture, add the bread crumbs 1/2 cup at a time until the meat begins to feel slightly firm.
• Form the meat into 1 1/2" balls with your hands.
• Gently place in cooking pan so that the meatballs are close but not touching.
• Cook in pre-heated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until browned.
• The meatballs will not be fully cooked yet.
• Add meatballs to your favorite sauce and simmer for one hour. (I usually use my Grandmother's sauce recipe, since this was her meatball recipe. I posted it under Spaghetti Sauce #79000 for anyone who would like it.).
