Roseinbloom requested a homemade recipe for sugar cookies. I got out my Mom's recipe box and found this one. I remember that they were good, hope it works out for you.

Thanx Gary. I'm gonna try that recipe. I love Sugar cookies, but I have a terrible habit of over cooking cookies. They're done so darn fast. lol

I wonder if the chilled dough slows down the baking and perhaps keeps it from overbaking? I noticed my mom was always checking the cookies......

Cat, every oven is different - hence the 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes I've had cookies bake in less time although I had the oven set at the recommended temperature. I usually set a timer for a couple of minutes less than the minimum time. I'll check the cookies,then reset the timer.

Another thing that can over-brown cookies is a non-stick surface, especially dark coating.

Golden Gate Scampi
Prepare one box Rice-A-Roni Spanish style rice following directions(Don't forget the can of tomatoes) Pour into oven-safe 1 1/2- 2 quart casserole dish. I spray with Pam first.
Drain and add one small can small shrimp(or equivalent frozen/fresh)
Drain and add one small can mushrooms(slices or pieces)
Add 1/3 cup white wine(optional) I always have a glass while preparing to insure the quality of the wine.
Mix well
Cover and bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven.
Serve with crusty bread and a salad. And of course, the rest of the wine.

Catriona, I know my wife would like that recipe. I am not a big fan of shrimp but she is. I am a fan of wine however. I could do half the mixture with chunks of chicken or pork.
