In Search Of:
OK, Marilyn's busy, maybe someone can help me. First, Hi everyone!

I've had pneumonia so have been out of commission. We have a wonderful, lovely Angel in our group as you all know....Marilyn! She sent me a lovely tin of delicious cookies to make me feel better. Hey! Sugar is a medicine isn't it? It felt like it in this case. So she put a list of the cookies in the tin on top and John and I are going to make a couple for some people that need a bit of that kind of medicine. Here's what she listed:
Judy's Nut Balls (Judy Mass...is this yours?)
Million Dollar
Malted Milk Chip
and the Spiced Candy Walnuts I have.
Anyone have these? I can't get any thing to come up in a search. Thanks for any help cause I'm sending John to the store this afternoon. What a helping guy I have! Best Holiday wishes to all of you!

 
Here is the recipe Orchid. Feel better soon.

Judy's Nut Ball Cookies

3/4 cup ground pecans
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
extra powdered sugar
Stir together pecans, butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla, mix well. Sift flour and salt, stir into nut mixture. Chill. Roll into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball 3 times in the extra powdered sugar. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F until set but not brown.

Variation: Frosty Snowballs
When you roll the cookies in powdered sugar, you divide the powdered sugar into three or four bowls. Then, you take three or four different colors of edible glitter and mix one color glitter into each of the bowls. Then when you roll the cookies in the sugar, they turn out all shiny and sparkly like a Christmas ornament, but they're edible.

 
Million Dollar Cookies

Hi there!
Glad you are feeling better smileys/smile.gif

Marcel's Million-Dollar Cookies

Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 68 minutes (to complete four baking cycles)
White chocolate flecked with semisweet chocolate chunks -- these are as rich and dense as the bullion in Fort Knox.
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 pound unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 pound light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
5 large eggs
2 tsps. pure vanilla extract
6 ounces white chocolate, melted
3 cups chopped pecans, toasted (toast on baking sheet 10 minutes at 350 degrees; cool before using)
1 pound semisweet baking chocolate, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt onto wax paper. Set aside until needed. Place the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on medium speed for 6 minutes until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, then continue to beat on medium 4 minutes longer, until very smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on medium for 1 minute and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat on medium for 1 minute. Stop the mixer and add the melted white chocolate; beat on medium for 1 minute, until incorporated.

Gradually, using low speed, add the sifted ingredients, followed by the pecans and chocolate; mix for 1 minute until incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Using 2 heaping Tbs. of dough for each cookie (about 2 ounces), portion 6 cookies onto each of 2 non-stick baking sheets. Bake on the top and center racks for 15-17 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to center about halfway through the baking time (also turn each sheet 180 degrees).

Let cookies cool on baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.
