Fabulous Cookie Bowl Recipe by Connie

This Taco-salad shaped cookie bowl is one of my favorite ideas. It makes a great gift or center-piece.

You'll need:

1....2 normal-sized rolls OR 1 large sized of Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie dough. You must use this brand because no other flavor or brand can hold the shape of the taco salad bowl and not stick to the pan when baked.

2.... 2 taco-salad bowl baking pans (you can find them in most stores like Lechners or Sears).

Follow the temperature directions on the cookie dough label.

Instructions

1.... Using a rolling pin, roll cookie dough flat, but not too thin. About 3/4 inch thick will be ideal. If you roll it too thin, then the cookie will break when it is finished baking. Remember, it has to be strong enough to support the candy or nuts you are going to place in the cookie bowl.

2.... Cut rolled out dough into half. This makes it easier to put the dough into the bowl pan when you do it in 2 sections.

3.... Place both halves of dough in FIRST taco salad bowl. Press the 2 dough halves together at the seams so that the entire bowl is covered.

4.... Place the 2nd taco salad bowl pan on TOP of the cookie dough already in the first taco-salad bowl pan. Press it firmly into the dough, but not so hard that the dough drips out of the sides. This holds the cookie dough in place while baking.

5.... A good idea is to place foil around the exposed edges of the cookie dough so that it doesn't burn.

6.... Place in oven to bake. Follow the temperature listed on the cookie dough label.

7.... When dough is baked well enough that it will hold a bowl-like shape, remove the TOP taco salad bowl pan from the oven. Also, remove the foil from the edges of the dough at this time. Allow the cookie to bake the remainder of the way. As far as the time is concerned, I don't have any specific amount of time. I usually just keep an eye on it. BUT DON'T OVER COOK

8.... When finished baking, remove from the oven to let it cool for at least an hour.

9.... Carefully remove from the taco salad bowl. Finish cooling.

10.... When completely cooled, you can put your favorite candies in the bowl. I love M&M's or Skittles or jelly-beans. Nuts are great too.

Another idea:

If you want to give as a gift, wrap it up (with candy in the bowl) in cellophane colored paper and tie at the top with a bow and ribbon. Also makes a nice center piece for coffee tables and dinner tables.

ENJOY! The cookie bowl itself usually gets eaten up before the yummies you put in it do! :)

Cream Cheese candies:

1 pkg (3oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp. peppermint or almond extract
3 cups confectioner's sugar- 1 1/2cup used to roll candy in
Green and red colored sugar, optional

In small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and extract.

Beat in 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar until smooth.

Shape into 1/2 in. balls. Roll in collored sugar if desifed. Or use a candy mold.

Let stand for 1 hour to harden.

Place on ungreased baking sheets and flatten with a fork. Or use a cand mold. Let stand for 1 hour to harden.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Makes 6 dozen.

ST. LOUIS TOASTED RAVIOLI

Ingredients

1 1-pound package frozen ravioli
2T milk
1 egg
2/3 to 1 cup fine, dry seasoned bread crumbs
shortening or cooking oil for deep-fat frying
1 cup spaghetti or pizza sauce
Grated parmesan cheese

1. Thaw ravioli. In mixing bowl, beat together milk and egg. Dip each ravioli into egg mixture; coat with crumbs

2. In a heavy 3 quart saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 350. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, in hot oil 1 minute per side or till golden. Drain on paper towels; keep warm in 300 oven while frying the rest.

3. Heat sauce. Sprinkle ravioli with parmesan. Serve with warm sauce for dipping. Makes 12 to 14 appetizers.

FUDGE

I don't eat much chocolate but I do this one

3 TLB. cocoa
2 Cups sugar
1/2 Cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 Cup peanut butter

Mix together water sugar and cocoa, heat to boiling. Boil 1 minute. Quickly add vanilla and peanut butter, mix fast, and pour into buttered dish. This sets up pretty quick.

Divinity

4 C. sugar
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 C. light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 C. water
1 C chopped nuts

Place sugar, corn syrup and water in sauce pan over low heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then cook to 255 degrees. Romove from heat when a little of this mixture can be dropped into cold water forming a hard ball. Pour in a fine stream into stiffly beaten egg whites, continue beating until it holds its shape and loses its gloss, then add vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper.

I use a stand mixer, easier to pour fine stream and easier on arms.
