A to Z Challenge #AtoZ Challenge Letter N

Good morning, How are you? I am fine now that David has returned to work. But they Laid off two more people yesterday and one was a Dispatcher.

David isn’t out of the woods yet and could be laid off at anytime just as my sister can. I am on pins and needles every time either of them call me worrying with what there going to tell me.

To keep mine and Charlie’s mind off this I have Charlie helping me with photos for my site and cleaning the living room while I work on my site. As I have a lot to catch up on from the past two days when David was off.

Before I get to far off track I wanted to share my A to Z Challenge #AtozChallenge Letter N and for my Board Game this morning and if you can believe it or not I couldn’t find a game. I thought I would ask you if you know of one?

I wanted to share with you and for a dessert Charlie and I will be making NUTTER BUTTER COOKIES. I haven’t had these and neither has Charlie. Have you?

NUTTER BUTTER COOKIES

¹⁄₂ cup Shortening
²⁄₃cup Sugar
1 Egg
¹⁄₂ Teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
¹⁄₂ cup Quaker Oats
1 cup Flour
FILLING
¹⁄₂ cup Creamy Peanut Butter
³⁄₄ cup Powdered Sugar
1tablespoon fine cookie crumbs (graham cracker, etc.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and the sugar with an electric mixer.
Add the egg, salt and peanut butter and beat until well blended.
Put the oats in a blender or a food processor and grind away until they are almost as finely ground as flour.
Add the oats and the flour to the mixture and blend well.
Pinch out small portions of the dough and roll into 1 inch balls in the palm of your hand.
Press these flat on an ungreased cookie sheet so that they form 2 inch circles.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until light brown around the edges.
While the cookies are baking, combine the filling ingredients in a small bowl.
When the cookies have cooled down, use a butter knife to spread a thin layer of filling on the flat side of a cookie and then press another one on top.
Repeat till all the cookies and the filling are use up.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
