SOUR CREAM DROP COOKIES
***********************************
Posted by: "TonaH" haggermaker4@yahoo.com haggermaker4
Farm Journal's Complete Home Baking Book
This heirloom cookie was originally made with homemade sour cream stored in a crock in the basement.
The dough for drop cookies is soft enough to drop from a spoon. Use an ordinary teaspoon rather than a measuring spoon. Use slightly rounded spoonfuls rather than level ones. Push the dough off the spoon with a rubber spatula or another spoon. Make the drops all the same size so they will bake evenly. Bake them just until done. Remove immediately from baking sheet. If cookies are left for only a few minutes on a hot sheet, they will continue to bake and will be overdone and dry.
2-3/4 cup sifted flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup butter or regular margarine
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
Sugar
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; set aside.
Cream together butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in bowl until light and fluffy, using electric mixer at medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in sour cream and lemon extract.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture, blending well. Drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 3 inches apart, on greased baking sheets. Sprinkle each with sugar.
Bake in 375 degree oven 8 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from baking sheets; cool on racks. Makes 5 1/2 dozen.

BIRTHDAY CAKE COOKIES
Posted by: "TonaH" haggermaker4@yahoo.com haggermaker4
box cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Nuts, chocolate chips, white chips, dried fruit* (optional and you decide what you want to add!)
Mix oil, eggs and cake mix together in a large bowl. Stir in your "add-ins" if desired. Drop tablespoon size mounds onto a greased cookie sheet. You do not have to grease the sheets of they are non- stick. Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes.
*If you add dried fruit, make sure it's not the REALLY dried fruit but the type that is chewy and still has some moisture in it. Here are some of the variations I have made with great results:
Yellow cake w/chocolate chips or chunks
Chocolate cake w/butterscotch and white choc. chips
Yellow cake w/macadamia nuts and white choc. chips
Choc. cake w/macadamia nuts and white choc. chips
Orange cake w/white frosting (tastes like a creamsicle)
Banana or spice cake w/walnuts and white frosting
German choc. cake w/coconut pecan frosting
Chocolate cake w/toffee bits
Chocolate cake w/chopped cherries
Cinnamon Swirl cake w/white icing (tasted like a cinnamon bun)
I have also made these as a bar cookie when I am really in a hurry. They turned out fine except that next time I would slice them before they cooled completely so they don't crumble quite as much.

Blueberry Pie
4 cups blueberries, rinse and drain
3/4 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2/3 cup flour
2 tsp sugar
Dash salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
4 Tbsp ice water
Sprinkle blueberries with sugar; squeeze lemon juice over top. Set aside.
Sift flour, sugar and salt into mixing bowl. Cut shortening into flour. Gradually, add ice water, mixing with pastry blender. Chill dough. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll half on floured board until thin enough to cover sides and bottom of 9" pie plate. Prick bottom with fork and bake bottom crust 10 minutes @ 400 degrees. This prevents berry juice from soaking through crust. Cool bottom crust about 10 minutes while rolling out remaining dough and cutting into strips.
Fill bottom shell with sweetened blueberries and place strips of dough across top for lattice effect. Use 1 or 2 long strips around edge of plate to seal crusts and bake no longer than 20 minutes @ 400 degrees. If desired, top crust may be rolled in 1 piece and used to make 2 crust pie. Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Serves 10-12
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 pounds tart apples, cored and grated
12 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 cup golden brown sugar, packed
1 cup sugar
Zest of one orange
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the maple glaze
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup golden brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Prepare the cake: Preheat the oven to 325F degrees. Spray a non-stick 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and all of the spices into a medium bowl. Squeeze the excess juice from the grated apples.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, sugar and orange zest at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in the vanilla.
Beat in the flour mixture on low speed until well incorporated. Measure out 2 1/2 cups of the grated apples and mix them into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
Bake the cake for 1 hour, or until a cake tester inserted into the center emerges clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert onto a rack set over foil.
Prepare the glaze while the cake bakes: Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and stir constantly for 1 minute. Remove the glaze from the heat.
Using a toothpick or a small skewer, pierce holes all over the top of the warm cake. Pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to be absorbed into the holes for 30 minutes. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature
