REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Ingredients:

1 box devil’s food cake mix

1 small box Jello instant chocolate pudding mix (not the sugar or fat free kind!)

1 cup sour cream

1 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips (substitute chocolate chips for chopped PB cups)

*mix everything together but the choc. chips (or PB cups) add them at the end and scoop (because apparently it is too thick to pour) into your pans and bake at 350 degrees for however long it says on the back of the box (plus maybe an extra 10 minutes or so).

Then for the Peanut Butter Butter Cream Frosting:

Ingredients:

1 cup shortening (crisco)

4 cups powdered sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream



*In a mixing bowl, cream shortening until fluffy. Add sugar slowly and continue creaming until well blended. Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.

add a 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter at the end.  ENJOY!

I haven't made this YET..........but I want to in the worst way.  My brother is eating this for his birthday today, and I am very envious!!!

Soft Sugar Cookies

This is my most requested recipe that I have.  I hope you like it.  It makes a lot of cookies, and they are soft!

Soft Sugar Cookies

1/2 cup shortening
1 cube butter- softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup thin/soured cream or canned milk with 1 Tb. lemon or vinegar (Not commercial sour cream. Soured cream)
6-7 cups of flour
3 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. grated lemon rind
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. baking powder

Cream together sugar and shortening and butter.  Add eggs and beat. Add soured cream, baking powder, salt, soda, lemon rind, and almond extract and stir . Mix in Flour till feels stiff for roll out cookies.  Put in fridge and chill.

Roll out about 1/4 in thick.  Bake 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes.  Don't over cook or they wont be soft.

Make this for Halloween, and put candy corns, and orange, purple or green sprinkles on orange, purple or green frosting. FUN!
