Yep, go to page 53 and I compiled all of the recipes from pages 1 - 53.

Anyone have a picture of what this should look like?

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier because I hadn't looked at this thread since last year. I don't have a photo, but can describe them.

The inside part will have a slight pink color and will be rolled into balls. (You may find putting them into the fridge makes them less sticky and easier to work with.) Once you dip them in the chocolate they are just like little chocolate balls. Mine are never perfectly round though nor are they all the same size, but that is what makes them homemade.

Irish pattato cookies

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon


DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Using your hands if necessary, mix in the coconut. Roll into balls or potato shapes, and roll in the cinnamon. Place onto a cookie sheet and chill to set. If desired, roll potatoes in cinnamon again for darker color.

I love these cookies below. There a holiday hit every time. I leave off the perserves but thats a personal choice. Also I put the dough on a cookie sheet then cut out circles with a coffee cup so they look more cookie like.
CROATIAN COOKIE

2 c. butter
2 c. ground nuts
1 jar apricot preserve
4 egg yolks
4 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream together butter and sugar until creamy. Add beaten egg, mix in vanilla. Add flour and mix. Put 1/2 of the dough on a greased cookie sheet. Spread apricot jam, sprinkle rest of dough on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool and cut into 1 inch squares.

Thank you so much for putting them together. I'm going to make a cookbook out of them all for my daughter in law in Ireland. I've been sending them piecemeal.

Didn't we have a similar thread about just appetizers? I tried the search and got no where (surprise). I'd like to add those. And then I think I'll add the slow cooker recipes too! So far it's 69 pages (book size, double sided). This is just great.

Thank you. Before I go through that one, I don't suppose anyone has put those all together? If not, I'll start copying and pasting them and add them to the book.

A question for those of you who have made the oreo and cream cheese balls - do they need to be refrigerated????

Thanks

Shagley, Left210 and ZipaDeeDooDah A million thank you's for compiling all those recipes on page 53! That was so awesome of you to do that. I'm really enjoying this thread and have made several of the recipes and they are yummy (and so easy!)

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Oh, I forgot about that thread. I will have to work on compiling those recipes to add them to my book also. Us Disers sure have some yummy recipes!!

When my DMIL passed away in 1994 (just 2 weeks before my DD, her first grandchild, was born) the only possesion that her two sons (one my DH, of course) fought over was a hand-written cookbook where she had kept all of the family's favorite recipes. She was one heck of a cook.

So to try and make everyone happy (because her sisters, step-daughter and other familiy members also got involved) I spent the next weeks after she passed away typing it up so it could be shared by all. Each holiday I try and pick out something that she noted that my DH loved as a child (I even transcribed her notes about who liked what and I'm so glad that I did) and make it for him. The cookbook ended up being 122 pages long in a Word document so she's left me a lifetime of special surprises for her son.

This year I think I'm going to try this one:

Miniature Chocolate Fruit Cakes

1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. Hershey's Cocoa Powder
1/8 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. margarine, at room temperature
1 lg. egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. milk
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/3 c. chopped red candied cherries
1/4 c. each, golden raisins and chopped dates
For Decoration: 24 red candied cherry halves

Heat oven to 325. Grease 24 - 1 3/4 inch muffin cups. Mix flour, cocoa and baking powder. Beat sugar and margarine in bowl with mixer till well blended. Stir in remaining ingredients except decoration. Spoon into prepared muffin pans. Top each with a cherry half. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until tops look dry. Remove to wire rack to cool. Pack in an airtight container. Makes 24, 85 calories each.

According to the notation that she left this one is "good!"
