Mother In Law Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. Cream butter, sugar, eggs, almond extract together until creamy.
• 3. Whisk together flour and soda, stir into butter mixture
• 4. Stir in oats.
• 5. Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheet.I use a small ice cream scopp because I am OCD and like them to all be exactly the same size and shape. :)
• 6. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. I like mine chewey, so I underbake slightly.
• 7. Let cool for a few minutes and then place on rack to cool. Let cookie sheet cool for 10-15 minutes between batches, or the cookies get flat and thin.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix crust ingredients together. Reserve 1 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture in bottom of 8" square pan. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with cheesecake mixture.
• 2. In medium bowl, blend all the cheesecake ingredients together, mixing well (I use my KA hand mixer). Spoon over baked crust, then sprinkle with reserved crust mixture. Bake 15 minutes longer.
• 3. I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 13"x9"x2" pan without any problem. Crust baking time increases by about 5 minutes, with filling, it's about 10 minutes more in my elec oven...you may have to adjust time in your own oven.

Steps:

• Before making, consider doubling it, since we always do!
• Cream the butter, then add sugar, egg, and cream.
• Mix together the dry ingredients, then add to wet ingredients.
• Chill thoroughly in fridge (usually an hour).
• Roll out and cut into desired shape.
• Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minute.

Steps:

• In a mixer, cream butter and sugar until very smooth.
• Add egg and beat until light and fluffy.
• Add flour, lemon juice or vanilla, baking soda and salt; beat until well mixed.
• Roll out in sections on a pastry cloth, and cut out with cookie cutters.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 7-10 minutes in a preheated oven (350F).
• For frosting: mix ingredients together until smooth.
• Frost cookies once cooled.
