Recipe Relay & Wild Cherry peanut Butter Swirls

Wild Cherry peanut Butter Swirls

Listen now my dear friends. We are now ready to arrange a recipe relay. You send in your best recipe to me at lyndsay@acupcakery.com It can be both baking and quick dessert recipes. A selection of entries will be published in our recipe leaflet magazine. "Sweet Cuppin Cakes Baking and Quick Desserts" Every Wednesday as long as the recipes keep coming, our selection will be posted here on this blog, starting January 20, 2010. All published contributions are rewarded with a nice little gift of yet unknown nature. E-mail me! Email will contain the recipe, a photo and a short text about why it is so good, and your name, age and address. Do you have a blog even send me a link to that. To get you started I will share a recipe I tried yesterday for;

Wild Cherry peanut Butter Swirls source: Grans recipe drawer 1996

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups sifted flour (yes sifted)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
2 tbsp milk
1 package (6 oz) cherry morsels or any flavour you prefer

Cream: shortening, peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla
Measure: flour, salt, and soda onto waxed paper. Stir to blend.
Add: dry ingredients to first mixture alternately with milk
Roll out cookie dough on floured, secured parchment paper to 1/4 inch thickness
Melt morsels over low heat and then spread on 2 rectangles of dough or one large rectangle depending on cookie size ( I used one large rectangle)
Roll up lengthwise using parchment paper for assistance.This is a little tricky but worth it!! Chill no longer than 20 minutes.
Slice with a sharp bread knife 1/8 inch thick
Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake exactly 9 minutes and 30 seconds Remove when cooled a bit
Yield: 5-6 dozen large

ENJOY!
