These crispy, tender, melt in your mouth, Amish Sugar Cookies are a delight, and so easy to make! Depending on the size you make them, this single batch of cookies can make anywhere from 5-9 dozen cookies. I like to use a small cookie scoop, and it makes about 110 cookies! And you can make that many cookies in less than 1 hour! This dough doesn't require chilling, which makes them quick and easy to…... view full recipe
These Mini Phyllo Quiches are packed full of tons of flavor. I make these for tea parties and they are always eaten quickly. Even my little grandson Gabe, who is our server at our Mother-Daughter tea parties, loves them and can't get enough of them. They are easy to make and you can make the filling ingredients the day ahead of time to save some time. They also make great little bite sized appetizers and…... view full recipe
These Mini Roast Beef Sandwiches are perfect for a luncheon or tea party. They are small and dainty and full of flavor. There are a couple of different spreads you can put on them as well to change things up. I make these with a Pimiento Cheese Spread and a Blue Cheese Spread. They are both delicious. The cover photo shows both sandwiches. 500 recipes like this one can be found in our cookbook "Rocky…... view full recipe
Chocolate Gilded Danish Sugar Cones
These delicate, buttery cookies are quite decadent. They do take a little bit of skill to quickly form them into cones before they cool and harden, but they sure look fancy once you've got them done. You can also roll them into a tube shape and dip both of the ends as well. 500 recipes similar to these cookies can be found in our cookbook "Rocky Mountain Lodge & Cabins' MORE Favorites Recipes" which can…... view full recipe
Strawberry Pecan Twist Cookies
These Strawberry Pecan Twist Cookies are one of my personal favorite cookies! They are tender and flaky and just melt in your mouth when you take a bite of them. You start with a box of pre-mixed pie crust dough, which is what makes them so delicious, or you can also make your own dough, without the wet ingredients, just weigh it to make sure you have the right amount. You can also change the…... view full recipe
These Russian Teacake Cookies, also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes, are arguably one of my favorite cookies (though I like so many cookies it's hard to choose just one to be my favorite, I'd have to settle for a top 10). When I begin my Christmas Cookie baking (which goes on for weeks), these are always the first cookie I make every year, it just gets me started on my holiday cookie baking. I have…... view full recipe
Chicken Salad is one of those great dishes that becomes a staple for a summer salad or sandwich. There is such a variety of ways you can serve this salad. Serve it over a bed of bib lettuce as a refreshing summer salad, or even a fairly healthy main entree, serve it in some whole grain bread for a sandwich, or serve it on mini croissants for a fancier sandwich and served at a tea…... view full recipe
This is really a "Mock" Devonsire Cream since the cream itself doesn't come from Devon, England. But it's just as delicious, and much easier and quicker to make than Clotted Cream. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to make. I serve it with scones, and I'll use it just as I do whipped cream sometimes, try it with apple pie, you'll be hooked! The tang from the sour cream gives it a special flavor…... view full recipe
I went to a tea house one day with my girls when they were young and they served scones that I absolutely fell in love with. They gave every customer an index card with the recipe, and I've been making this basic scone recipe ever since. It can be easily modified by adding different ingredients such as currants, raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, and so much more, just be creative and add ingredients you may…... view full recipe
Lemon Curd is a wonderfully delicious, sweet and tart treat that has a myriad of uses. I use it primarily to go with Scones. But I also use it fill in tart shells, as a layer in between layers of cake, on top of Strawberry Shortcake, in mini puff pastry shells topped with a dollop of Devonshire Cream, and so much more. Just be creative. Whatever might sound good with a sweet and sour lemon…... view full recipe
