Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap

Hello Everyone, it is time for my annual Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap. I have had so much fun with this every year and this year is no except. House is decorated, supplies are assembled and I am ready to bake. How about you? Want to join?

Here is an example of what is cooking this year at my house.

I am having some ladies over for a Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap and luncheon with my Red Hat group. They are so yummy. Pumpkin Pecan and White Chocolate Biscotti and many more. If you would like to join in just let me know. Email me at jackielwatson2009@hotmail.com.

I just want to share a recipe today

I have enjoyed this recipe because it is so versatile and easy.  You can make it as it stands or add Cinnamon, Cheddar Cheese or Buttermilk instead of milk.

Cooking Temperture;  450
Baking Time:              10-12 minutes
Quanity:                      8

Ingredients:
2 c                       flour (self rising)
1 T                      baking powder
2 tsp                    sugar
1/4 tsp                salt
1/2 c                   melted unsalted butter
1 c                      milk

You can substitute with low fat butter(I use I can't believe it butter), Buttermilk,Splenda and salt free salt. I tried them all and it doesn't change the consistancy of the batter.

In a large bowl combine; flour,baking powder, sugar, salt and blend together. Stir in milk and melted butter until moisten. Drop on greased cookie sheet by spoon or you can use parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Now for the fun part. I have been creating a biscuit to go with spicy porkchops I make and it is using the same recipe but adding:
2 cloves of diced garlic
1 T Parsley
1 tsp Dill
and add a handfull of cheddar cheese

My family loved them. They get the Yummy Award in my house.
 I hope you enjoy my family's biscuit recipe, and tell me what you think.
