My great grandmother assumed we’d all know a bit about the recipe so she left out those details. With this recipe, try and make the dough as thin as you can. The cookie is a bit crispy.

Soft Sugar Cookies IV

Recipe By: Laura Stearns, shared by Laurie Vines (I see another sugar cookie recipe:)  This by far is the best one I've had success with!!)
"This Recipe is a State Fair Blue Ribbon winner. This is an easy sugar cookie recipe, you don't have to roll it out, and the cookies are soft and chewy, unlike other sugar cookies. Anybody can make these."

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
Directions

  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.

1 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1 /2 tsp soda 
Sift together in a mixing bowl.

In a medium size pot,  add 1 c water and 1 cup butter - when melted add 4 Tblsp cocoa.  Bring to boil.  Pour immediately over the dry mix and mix well.

Mix in small bowl, 2 slightly beaten eggs, 1/2 c buttermilk (pint) and 1 Tbsp vanilla.  Mix into other ingredients.  
Pour into either greased and floured 10x15 pan (or use parchment so can pull out.)

Bake 350 for 20-40 min depending on your oven or pan size.

**Frost hot.  When you cake is almost done (check with toothpick) make your frosting and get ready to pour the hot frosting over the hot cake.
Frosting:
1/2 c butter
6 Tbsp buttermilk
4 Tbsp cocoa
4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla.

Pour over cake hot and add chopped nuts on top if you want.

Let fully cool.  I pull out of the pan with the parchment once mostly cool and set on wire rack.  Cut into squares.  These freezer VERY well and can be pulled out a few at a time.  Enjoy!

2 c sugar
1/2 c butter
1 can Evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 PKG large marshmallows
1 PKG 12 oz choc chips (we use Tollhouse)

Prep 9x13 pan- coat with butter to won't stick. (yes, use butter, not spray)
**Do not cook on high heat because will scotch if too hot

Using a thick bottom pan, cook sugar, butter and evap milk to soft ball stage (cold water test- not thermometer) add vanilla just before reaches soft ball stage.  When it reaches this stage, turn off heat and add marshmallows stir to melt- then pour in chocolate and stir.  Mix in nuts if you choose 1/2c-1 cup depending.  I have used pecans or walnuts.

Immediately pour into your buttered pan and set aside to chill.  I normally leave the pan on the counter for awhile to let it start to cool and harden, then I move it to the garage where cold or the fridge.  Let fully cool before cutting into pieces.  Cut into pieces the next day, and set in air tight container.  If you want the fudge to firm up a little more, leave space around them and a corner up.  Lasts quite a while in fridge.
Enjoy from North East Iowa -
