Oreo Truffles

Want a quick and easy dessert that is mouth watering? Well, here it is......Oreo Truffles!

What you will need:

1 pkg Original Oreos (Not double stuffed)--reserve 3 cookies
1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
16 ounce vanilla almond bark

Instructions:

Spread a long sheet of wax paper out on the counter top or area you will be working on. Place 36 Oreos in a food processor or chopper. Do not separate cream from cookies--use entire cookie. You want finely ground cookie crumbs when you are done. Add cream cheese. Mix well. Form into balls.

In a separate microwavable bowl, melt the almond bark. Dip the Oreo balls into the vanilla almond bark. Place on wax paper. Grind the remaining 3 cookies into fine ground crumbs. Sprinkle across the truffles after dipping. Allow to sit up until hardened. You may leave out or place in the refrigerator. They sit up nicely however you decide to store them.

Enjoy!

Old Fashioned Tea Cakes

Who doesn't love an Old Fashioned Tea Cake? Tea Cakes are holiday tradition in our home. I am pleased to share this simple recipe for them with you!

What you will need:

1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter; add sugar and well beaten egg. Add salt and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder. Add slowly to mixture, alternating with milk until mixed well. Roll 1/8 thick and cut into desired shapes with cutters. *Note: You will need flour for dusting your rolling pin and the dough as it will be slightly sticky (or at least mine was).  Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden.

Enjoy!
