A Little "Mud Hen"

Gentle Friends, I was all geared up to post a little yesterday when I got caught up with Internet Connectivity both here at work and at home....  it finally seems that everything is smoothing out, and we'll be back up at home soon......  
  Today I wanted to talk a little about a recipe I tried out on Sunday called "Mud Hen Bars" the recipe can be found HERE at a great Blog called South Your Mouth, written a Mandy, a fun read with lots of Southern inspired food and fun!!  

 I always try to start off  by getting everything together....

... while I was creaming the sugar and butter I separated the eggs mixed up the and sifted the dry ingredients, chopped the nuts and mixed in the marshmallows and choco chips.....

....  here's the bottom layer pressed into a 13 x 9 buttered pan and covered with the nuts, marshmallow and chips mix......

.....now everything is covered in the brown sugar meringue and being slid into the oven....

... out of the oven and golden brown, it took about 28 minutes, now waiting for it to cool to cut up.....

... I was a bit impatient and it was on the warm side when I cut into it, so it was still on the gooey melty side.  These were pretty tasty little cookies, and very, very similar to a Mississippi Mud Cake, but cookie form.  So if you like the cake you'll love the cookie!!  Thanks to sweet Mandy I've got another super cookie to add to my ever growing repertoire!!

That's a bout it for today sports fans, I'm still working on the Colonial Gathering piece and will pop a snap up at the end of the week before I send it out for finishing.  Thanks for stopping by, do stop again!!

Take care,
edgar

A Cookie Post

Gentle Readers and Dear Friends almost the weekend Thursday!!!!  Woo Hoo!!  I can't wait - we have been hearing for a few days about the weather getting warmer, but not here in the city...  I think we are going to get into the low 70's which is perfect weather.....  If i was inclined to drive east for about 30 minutes I could find some 3 digit+ weather, but why would I do that!!  I am sticking to the City for the next few days.

Since I am not showing any of the stitching I am doing - just yet - I thought I would talk about something we found at Safeway last Saturday.  Let me start off with another tidbit about me and my weirdness'...  I am not really a fan of cookies.  There are a few I love, but as a sweet treat, not a fan.  Of the few cookies I enjoy most of them are homemade and family recipes - but, over the weekend we tried a New cookie from the Keebler Eleves.... "Fudge Stripes - Dark Chocolate"


These dark chocolate cookies with dark chocolate stripes!!  Just super for store bought!!   - and - they are really scrumptious with a cup of coffee or tea! 


You know how I love Dark Chocolate and now I add these to my very short list of cookies from the store that I like!!  They would be tied with my all time favorite cookie - Taffy Cookies from Mother's Cookies.  


Here is a commercial about Taffy cookies from about 15 years ago.....


What's so great about Taffy's is that they are coconut flavoured cookies with a slightly sweet vanilla creme filling!! These are also just super with a cup of tea or coffee!!

I think I'll wrap it up for today.  Thanks for stopping by, and remember to take time to enjoy a cookie!!!

Take care,
