Ingredients:

5 cups of sifted confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Directions
Beat egg whites in clean, large bowl with mixer at high speed until foamy (use only grade A clean, un-cracked eggs). Gradually add sugar and lemon extract. Beat at high speed until thickened. NOTE: When dry, Royal Icing is very hard and resistant to damage that can occur during shipping/handling.

Suprina’s Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups butter, softened
3 cups of sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups of flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt

Directions:
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Then slowly adding dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. A mixer is best for this. It can be done by hand, it will just take a while.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough to 1/4 to 1/2 in thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
Place cookies one inch apart on cookie sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes. You HAVE to keep an eye on these cookies. They bake quick.
**A Tip, place a piece of parchment paper on the cookie sheet and bake the cookies on the parchment. The cookies don’t stick and just slide off.

~Enjoy~

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

with one comment

Yes, another Peanut Butter Ball recipe.  However, I like this one better than the previous one I have posted.  This one I just find more interesting and to my liking.  Although, I like the other one as well.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

2 cups peanut butter (chunky or smooth) -(I use a cup of each)
1/2 cup butter softened
3 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups crispy rice cereal (I use rice Kripies)

Directions:

Mix peanut butter, butter vanilla and icing sugar, add cereal mixing well until well combined.

Form dough into 1″ balls and place them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge or pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes.

In a double boiler or microwave melt 1/4 bar of pure paraffin (yes, wax, I know it’s weird but that’s what you do!!) with 3 cups of chocolate chips.

Using fork or slotted spoon, dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate and place on wax paper. Chill until set.
