Peaches

*
*3-4 cups fresh sliced Peaches, skins removed
*
Peach Crisp Filling

*

*1 cup Sugar

*4 tablespoon Cornstarch, more if peaches are very juicy

*1 cup Water

*2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

*1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract

*2    1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon

*pinch Sea Salt

*
In a sauce pan on medium heat add the sugar, cornstarch and water. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and becomes translucent. Then add cinnamon, vanilla extract and almond extract. Remove from heat and add to the sliced peaches.

*

Crumble Crust and Crumble Topping

*
*2 cups Brown Sugar, lightly packed

*2 cups All-purpose Flour

*1 cup Quick Oats

*1 cup Old Fashion Oatmeal

*1 cup Butter, melted

*
Melt butter in a large measuring cup in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or until melted.

*
Whisk together flour, brown sugar and then mix in the oats/oatmeal and melted butter until combined crumble.
In a round baking dish sprayed with cooking spray, sprinkle on 1/2 the crumble crust mixture evenly spread into the bottom of the baking dish, add filling (make sure to only fill the dish 3/4 full) and then top with the remaining crumble topping.

* Note: You could use a ready-made pie crust for the bottom of the peach crisp. Roll out pre-made crust and place in round baking dish and bake pie crust 6-7 minutes in a 350*F. Note: Poke holes in the pie crust dough with fork before baking. Remove from oven and add peach filling and top with crumble topping and bake the same as the crumbled crust.

*
Bake in a 350*F. oven for 25-35 minutes or until the top of the crumble Browns slightly.

*

For Variation
: Use two ready-made pie crust cut out 14-16 circles with a round cookie cutter and press into cooking sprayed muffin tins. Poke using a fork holes in the bottom of each muffin crust cup. Bake them in a 350*F. oven 6-7 for minutes, now remove from oven and scoop in peach filling about 1/4 cup and sprinkle on the crumble topping. Bake another 20 minutes or until tops of the crumbles brown slightly.

Sour Cream Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Sour Cream Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Sour Cream Chocolate Sugar Cookies

*
*1 cup Butter, room temperature

*1/4 cup Vegetable Oil

*1/2 cup Extra Light Olive Oil

*1/4 cup Light Sour Cream

*1  3/4 cups Granulated Sugar

*3 teaspoons Honey

*2 Eggs

*2 teaspoon Vanilla

*1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

*1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

*1 teaspoon Sea Salt

*5 cups All-purpose Flour, plus 2 tablespoons

*1/3-1/2 cup Special Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder, like Hershey’s or use 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, melted

*1/2 cup Corn Starch

**Extra Granulated Sugar, for dipping glass jar

*Cookie Scoop

*Glass Jar, etc…

*
In a stand mixer medium-low, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, honey, vanilla extract and sea salt. Mix until light yellow in color.

*
Drizzle in the oil and melted chocolate chips into the creamed mixture. Then add 1 egg at a time mix until combined.

*
In a bowl with strainer for sifting add the dry ingredients and sift together the dry ingredients: All-purpose flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, cream of tartar and baking soda.

*
Add Slowly and incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on lowest speed or hand stir, doing this will help so the dough won’t become too tough.

*
Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop heaped with cookie dough or use 3-4 tablespoons dough rolled in a ball and press down each ball with the bottom of a glass keeping them about 2/3 inch thickness, dipping the glass (2 3/4 inches across the bottom of glass) granulated sugar (use small saucer with around 1/4 cup sugar). I also like to use a round cookie cutter (3 1/4 inches)to help not press the dough to thin and to keep them relatively the same size.

*
Place cookie dough balls on a room temperature, Silpat covered, 1\2 baking sheets.

*
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven 350*F. for 9-10 minutes. (If you choose to make smaller cookies adjust the baking time as needed.)

*
Cool cookies on the baking sheet. Then place cookies in an airtight container in fridge or double bag them and keep in the freeze until ready to frost and eat.

*
Keep frosted cookies in an airtight container in the fridge, but best eaten right away.

*
Serve cookies cold.

*
Makes 33-36 Cookies

*

*1/2 cup Butter, room temperature

*1/4 cup Sour Cream

*4 tablespoons Heavy Cream, more if needed for thinning

*1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

*3   1/2 -4 cups Powder Sugar

*
In a stand mixer with paddle attachment on low spread cream together: Butter, sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract and sea salt.

*
In a bowl sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and then gradually add to the creamed mixture until totally combined, adding extra cream to desired consistency for frosting.  Frost Cookies and refrigerate.
