I use dill pickle juice instead of vinegar. If you want it a little sweeter, use bread and butter pickle juice and omit the sugar altogether. Sometimes I'll even mix in some sweet relish. But I've used this basic recipe for years and people love it.

Raspberry and Almond Shortbread Thumbprints

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2004

Absolutely delicious!!! I rolled out the dough a little larger than the recipe called for and had to leave them in the oven for about 20 minutes, but they turned out well. The almond and raspberry were perfect! I may add in a little more almond extract next time. I also used leftover white butter frosting from decorating the christmas cookies on the thumbprints. I just stirred in some extra almond extract and used a plastic baggie with one tip cut out to do a zig-zag with the icing. They were the biggest hit this holiday season. I'll be making more for valentines day! Thanks!

Deluxe Waffles

Reviewed: Dec. 28, 2004

Wonderful waffles! They turned out light, fluffy, and delicious. I added vanilla, nutmeg, and an extra tablespoon of sugar. They were a big hit with the kids. I had to do a doubletake on the one tablespoon of baking powder though. I almost put in a teaspoon instead. I think that may be the reason some people had trouble with the waffles coming out too hard. Anyway, I'll definately make these again!

Pinwheel Cookies I

Reviewed: Dec. 31, 2001

I've been using this recipe for years and it alway's turns out just fine using these amounts. I usually just seperate the chocolate and vanilla dough, roll out each layer seperately between two pieces of wax paper, then just flip the vanilla layer on top of the chocolate layer and roll it up in the waxed paper jelly-roll style. It's really a no-fail recipe as long as you roll each layer out seperately before putting them together.
