Posted by GrandmaG Miller & Pain was one of the leading clothing and retail stores in our area. The store is now gone but what great memories I have of it.

It's a great recipe to use up all those extra cake pieces or left over cookies. It's a spice cookie so would be great for a Fall flavor. I'll print it as it was written. It calls for margarine but I'm sure you could use butter or Crisco. INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups... read more

I remembered that I had cream cheese icing in the freezer and thought to myself "hmmm, that's fat and sugar, just need to add a few other things, wonder if I can make these into cookies?" Fortunately it worked out, and a new cookie was born! INGREDIENTS 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temp 8 ounces cream cheese, room temp 2 tbsp sour cream 2 pounds confectioner's sugar, sifted + extra for coating... read more
