Okay, you may have read this title and thought, "why would I want to eat food that you serve at a swim meet?" I promise, you'll want to try the four recipes I'm going to share. All four are things I served when catering. Today, is dessert day - Sandee's Sugar Cookies and Peanut Butter Buddy Bars. Tomorrow, is main dish day - Chicken Salad and Pasta Salad.
Sandee's Sugar Cookies
Mix together 1 1/2 c sugar, 3/4 c oil and 3 eggs. To this, add 3/4 c buttermilk, 4 1/2 c flour, 2 t vanilla, 1/2 t salt, 1 t baking soda and 1 1/2 t baking powder.
Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets. I use the Pampered Chef medium scoop for regular size cookies. When I was catering, I used the small scoop and they made great bite size desserts.
Bake these cookies at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will not brown - check underneath and press on top.
Once cool, you can drizzle with chocolate, sprinkle powdered sugar or frost with your favorite flavor of icing.
Peanut Butter Buddy Bars
In large mixing bowl, beat 1 c peanut butter and 6 T butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/4 c sugar, 3 eggs, 1 t vanilla; beat until creamy. Blend in 1 c flour and 1/4 t salt. Stir in 1 c chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet, your choice). Spread into ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Immediately sprinkle remaining morsels. Let stand 5 minutes or until morsels become shiny and soft. Spread evenly over top. Cool completely.
Hope you enjoy. I'm sure I won't be able to keep my girls out of these when they get home from school today.
