Chocolate Dipped Creams

This is my favorite cookie that my sister-in-law bakes. She could make just a plate of these and I would be in FAT heaven.
1C butter
1t vanilla
1C cornstarch
1/2C powdered sugar
1/8t salt
1C flour
1C chocolate chips-melted
Powdered sugar for rolling
Chopped nuts and jimmies for dipping
Cream butter; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar;add vanilla. Sift salt, cornstarch, and flour together; blend into cream mixture. Chill 2-3 hours; Shape into balls or crescent etc. Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes. Chill, roll in powdered sugar. Dip part of each cookie in chocolate, then in nuts and jimmies; allow chocolate to harden before storing. Makes about 6 dozen. I like the crescents because you dip the end of each about 1/2. To make the crescents, you roll the dough into little logs about 1 to 1 1/2 inch long. I hope you like these as much as I do. It is worth making this cookie.
Enjoy your day!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
