Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 15m

Yield 30-40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup margarine (I prefer country crock)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 cups oatmeal (use the one minute oatmeal)

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, cocoa, margarine and milk in saucepan over medium heat (I always go a notch over medium-but do not do med/high or it will burn).
  • Once it comes to a rapid boil, boil for 3 minutes EXACTLY.
  • Remove from heat and add peanut butter and oatmeal (SEE Tip#2).
  • Spoon drop on wax paper and let cool.
  • Store in airtight container.
  • Tip#1: have all ingredients measured out before you start.
  • Tip#2: sometimes weather can effect the outcome. It may require less or more oatmeal -- add oatmeal a little at a time till you get the right consistency-not to runny and not too thick.

A favorite at any gathering! These rolls are savory and sweet, thanks to the King's Hawaiian rolls. Yum!!

Provided by Patti Schult

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pkg king's hawaiian rolls
1 lb boiled ham, shredded
1/2 lb swiss cheese, shredded
1 stick butter, softened
3 Tbsp prepared mustard
3 Tbsp poppy seeds
1 tsp worchestershire sauce
1 Tbsp minced onion

Steps:

  • 1. Cut tops off rolls and lay aside.
  • 2. Mix everything except ham and cheese. Spread mixture on both sets of roll halves.
  • 3. Evenly spread cheese on all rolls. Ham should be put only on lower half of rolls.
  • 4. Place top half of rolls back on bottom half. Bake in 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted nicely.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. You can also use frozen peaches, but thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have a mixer, you can make the batter by hand. Just be sure to mix it well until it is smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or the pancakes will be tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
