Couldn't let the Day End.....





Couldn't let today end without saying good-bye to two people I grew up with. Deborah Kerr (86) and Joey Bishop (89). If I might borrow from Bob Hope, "Thanks for the memories."

Fudgey German Chocolate Sandwich Cookies


1&3/4 Cups all purpose flour
1&1/2 Cups sugar
3/4 cup (1&1/2 sticks) butter
2/3 cup Hersheys Cocoa
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Coconut and Pecan filling (you can use the ready made)
Preheat oven to 350 F
Combine everything in a mixing bowl. (dough will be thick)
Then stir in pecans
Form the dough into 1&1/4 inch balls
place on baking sheet (ungreased)
Flatten slightly
Bake 10 to 15 minutes until almost set
Cool on wire racks
Put about a Tablespoon full of filling on one side of cookie(bottom)
Put another cookie on top of filling to complete the sandwich "look"

That's it! If you like German Chocolate Cake, this will do the trick.

No Cookies Yet....I'm Thinking....What?...







Well, while I'm trying to figure out what cookie I want to put on the blog, here's a couple of cute pictures for you to take a look at...The refrigerator picture is "Why Men shouldn't take Messages!" too funny.... I'll be back this afternoon with a cookie recipe from home! (you can click on the pictures and they'll enlarge for you. If you're like me, blind as a bat that is!)
