I will share them with you:

3/4 t. vanilla





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mix cookie ingredients together. Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.





While cookies are baking, in a saucepan, melt butter. Once butter is melted, added brown sugar and let cool. Be careful not to let it cool completely or it will harden up and will have to be reheated. Add confectioner's sugar, milk, and vanilla. Icing should be at spreadable consistency. Spread over cookies

1 stick butter


4 T. cocoa


1/2 c. milk


3 c. oatmeal


1/2 c. peanut butter

Once the mixture has boiled, remove from heat and add oatmeal, peanut butter, and vanilla. More peanut butter can be added if desired. If desired, add the raisins and coconut. Spoon mixture onto wax paper and let cool. Once cookies have set up, refrigerate in container.
Hampie Cookies! They are SUPER easy!





Hampie cookies are called that because my Great Aunt Hampie would bring them to EVERY family gathering we had before she passed away a few years ago. They are really simple to make but when you bring them somewhere everyone is always impressed!





ingredients:


Peanut Butter


Chocolate Bark


Marshmallow Cream


Round Snack Crackers (Like Ritz)





All you do is spread PB on one cracker and marshmallow cream on the other and make a sandwich. http://www.nabiscoworld.com/ritz/recipe_鈥?/a>





Then you melt the chocolate and dip in the cracker sandwich and then place on wax paper to harden. It is the perfect blend of sweet and salty!
