250 DOLLAR COOKIE RECIPE

• 1/2 Lb Margarine
• 2 Cup Sugar
• 2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 4 Large Eggs

• 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
• 3 Cup Walnuts

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, slowly add flour, oatmeal (blend oatmeal in blender to a fine powder first), salt, baking powder and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and walnuts, roll into 1 1/2" balls and place 2" apart on cookie sheet, bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.

Cooks notes: Okay here's how the story goes - There was a lady in Dallas that had lunch at Neiman Marcus cafe. She ordered these cookies (above recipe) for dessert and liked them so much she asked the waiter if she could have the recipe. The waiter said it would be "two fifty", OK put it on the bill. Well, lunch was around $20 and the recipe was a shocking $250.00 - DANG! (That's not what I would've said...but I'm keepin' this a family show here). They refused to take the recipe back as she had seen it, so she decided to share it with the world - please pass it on if you like.

BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
YOU'LL EVER SINK YOUR TEETH INTO

• 3 Cups Fresh Mashed Sweet Potatoes
• 3/4 Stick Margarine
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 Cup Evaporated Milk
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Mix all together well. Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Topping

• 1 Cup crushed Corn Flakes
• 1/2 Cup pecan pieces
• 1/2 light brown sugar
• 3/4 stick margarine - melted

Mix all together and spread over the top of potatoes. Bake an additional 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Cooks notes: To get the mashed sweet potatoes you can either bake and scrape out the insides or peel, chop and boil til done (first choice is by far the easiest). Now what I'm about to tell you is no lie - I had folks, young and old, eatting sweet potatoes for the FIRST time and loving them! This dish is almost in the dessert catagory, it is so rich, creamy WITH crunch too, and then the sweetness - oh my, I'm getting hungry for it already - come on T'giving!
