Sugar Cookies and Fruit Pizza
Sugar Cookie and Fruit Pizza Recipes:
Sugar Cookie
(This recipe is a great sugar cookie recipe that can be used for just making cookies or making them into fruit pizzas!)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Crisco
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
Mix all ingredients and chill. Roll out nice and thick. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes (or until the shine is off of the cookies)
These freeze really well. I made these the day before and then frosted and decorated them while they were defrosting so they were easy to handle without being worried that they would break.
Frosting:
10 ounce pkg vanilla milk chips
1/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounce cream cheese
Melt chips into cream. Beat in cream cheese. Ready to spread on cookies.
Glaze:
2 cups pineapple juice
2 Tablespoons corn starch
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup sugar (taste it to see if it sweet enough for you and add more sugar if you want to)
In saucepan add all ingredients. Stir over geat until it comes to a boil and starts to thicken. cool. Pour or drizzle over fruit.
Quick and Easy Biscuits and Gravy
Quick and Easy Biscuits and Gravy
1 bag Grand’s Buttery Tastin’ Biscuits (in the freezer section) or your favorite biscuits
2 Tablespoons Oil

1/4 cup Wondra (quick mixing flour for sauces and gravies)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Milk (enough to cover meat)
Bake biscuits, while baking put oil in saucepan, add sausage and brown; break into small pieces, when cooked add salt and pepper and sprinkle Wondra; mix (Wondra will clump around meat and absorb liquid, add milk (cover meat entirely) and stir constantly on medium until it boils. If gravy is too thick add more milk; if too thin add more Wondra and for a kick add some red pepper flakes.
Best Baked Beans Ever
This is my absolutely favorite thing to bring (and eat) at a BBQ, I can honestly eat a whole plate of these. And I do sometimes instead of eating a hamburger or steak. They are that good! Try them for your next BBQ!
Baked Beans
1 large can pork and beans
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can butter beans, drained
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb hamburger
1/2 lb. brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons vinegar
Brown hamburger and onions, then drain. Put everything in a greased casserole 9×13 dish. cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe! I know everyone likes their chocolate chip cookies a different way but I love the course sea salt in the recipe and the flavor that it gives these cookies! Give it a try!
And if you are looking for a fun dessert put the dough in some ramakins (fill 3/4’s full). I also like to buy the small tin foil (to-go) containers and do it in them.
Add a scoop of ice cream
And some hot fudge for the chocolate lovers!
AND ENJOY!
