Super Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
When I ask my kids in daycare if they want a chocolate chip cookie, they always ask, "Is it the soft kind?" So I've come up with a kid-approved recipe for super soft cookies.

With a mixer, combine and mix the first eight ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Strawberry Tapioca Jell-o

Peanut Butter Cookies
I can't seem to find a good peanut butter cookie in the grocery store aisle, so I make my own!

Quick Fudge
This recipe is quick, for sure! It tastes delicious. But it's not something you can use as a snack. It's really too rich and creamy to eat too much. It's just a nice treat for dessert.
In a small bowl, combine the two ingredients and mix well. Line a square storage container with waxed paper. Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the storage container. Place in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes. Cut into small squares and serve.
