Preparing for the Holidays
October 25th, 2008. Filed under: Nancy's Recipe Box, Sewing on Saturday.Take a break from your sewing and spend a couple days baking. Get the baked goods out of the way early. You can freeze cookies and pies prior to baking. You can also freeze them after they’re baked and then when Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around, you’re ahead of the game. Here’s a few recipes to get you started. The first is a recipe given to me by Jerry Kackly. She was unit secretary when I worked ER at Terre Haute Regional Hospital. The second recipe was given to me by Dennis Sturgeon. Dennis is a nurse I worked with at Plainfield Correctional Facility.
APPLE BREAD
-
1 cup salad oil
-
3 cups flour
-
2 cups sugar
-
1 tsp salt
-
3 eggs
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup chopped nuts
-
2 cups diced apples
Pour mixture into ungreased angel food pan. Bake in a 350F oven for about 90 minutes or more. 1 hour, 10 minutes worked best for me.
DENNIS’S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil or Crisco butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 (12 oz) bag sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla bourbon extract or regular vanilla extract
- 1/2 box vanilla instant pudding
- 1 tsp coco powder
Preheat oven to 350F. Add all ingredients and mix well. Make into 2 inch balls and place in freezer over night. Place 12 balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 12 to 14 minutes or until they are the way you like them.
Thank you, Dennis and Jerry. I plan to do an all day mixing up and freezing of cookies and baked goods on Thursday. It’s a flybaby party.
