Haman’s Ear Cookie
Serves aprox. 80 cookies
Ingredients:
-
2 sticks of butter
-
2 C sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tsp. vanilla
-
4 tsp. baking powder
-
4 C flour
-
Apricot preserves for filling
Directions:
Cut butter into the sugar. Blend thoroughly. Add eggs and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Add baking powder and flour 1/2 cup at time, blending thoroughly between each. (It may feel tough at the end, but try to get it all blended in...)
Put batter in fridge overnight or for a few hours.
Roll it out about ¼” thick and cut circles using cookie/biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. You want your circles to be at least 3” wide.
Put about a teaspoon of preserves in the center of the circle and fold the sides to make a triangle, overlapping the sides as much as possible so only a little filling shows through the middle. I also kind of crimped the corners to seal the filling in.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until just turning golden brown. Like shortbread, you don't want to overcook these.
Resurrection Rolls
Serves 8
Ingredients:
-
1/2 stick of butter (melted)
-
1 can large refrigerated rolls (I prefer Pillsbury Grands)
-
8 Large marshmallows (do NOT use stale marshmallows)
-
A bowl of cinnamon and sugar mix
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take the white marshmallow and roll marshmallow in butter and then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Wrap the biscuit around the marshmallow and seal the dough around it. This part is very important--make sure the dough is completely sealed around the marshmallow. I wrap the dough around the marshmallow and pinch the dough together.
Roll the ball of dough in butter and then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place on the cookie sheet. Make sure that the side that you did the most "pinching" and "sealing" becomes the "bottom" of the tomb/roll. This will help keep the roll sealed. Otherwise, the roll will bake apart, exposing the marshmallow.
Place the tray of rolls in oven for about 10-12 minutes or until done.
Let the rolls cool and then serve.
S’mores Snack Mix
Serves 4
Ingredients:
-
1 cup Honey Teddy Graham cookies
-

Directions:

Melty Ham & Cheese Sandwiches
Ingredients:
-
24 King’s Hawaiian Rolls
-
16 oz. swiss cheese, sliced into squares
-
1 pound of sliced ham (I just bought ham sliced from the deli)
-
2 sticks of butter, melted
-
2 tsp. dry mustard
-
2 tsp. poppy seeds
-
2 tsp. onion powder
-
4 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Serves 24 sandwiches
Directions:
Slice all of the rolls and put them on a foil lined baking sheet. I was able to fit all 24 on one larger sized sheet. I stacked my ham and then sliced it into sixths, placing 2 or 3 little triangles of ham onto each roll. Put a square of your sliced swiss cheese on top of the ham on each roll (I bought a big 16 oz. brick of swiss and sliced it myself, which made it a little cheaper than buying pre-sliced swiss) and then put the top of the roll on the cheese. Melt your butter in a pan over low-medium heat, and mix in your dry mustard, poppy seeds, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon evenly over the top of all of your rolls, stirring intermittently so your butter doesn’t settle. Cover and let them sit for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight. When you’re ready, uncover them and pop them into a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melty.

Flower Pretzel Bites
Directions:
Ingredients:
-
26 oz. Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Snaps
-
2 12 oz. packages Wilton Candy Melts – Bright White
-
Easter M&M Candies
Arrange 8 to 9 Pretzel Snaps on a paper plate.
Place a candy melt in the center of each pretzel.
Place the plate of pretzels in the microwave and heat them until the candy melts are at the beginning stage of being melted. They should be soft to the touch and melted enough to press a M&M down into it but not so melty that the candy is running off the pretzel. (Approximately 50 seconds.)
Using Easter colored M&M’s, place a single M&M in the center of the melted candy melt for the flower center.
Now press in the flower petals with contrasting colored M&M’s – we used six M&M’s for the petals.
Let the Spring Flower Pretzel Bites to fully set up.
Store in an air-tight container.

Kettle Corn
Ingredients:
-
½ C popcorn
-
1/3 C oil
-
½ C sugar
-
½ -1 tsp. flake salt/kosher salt
Directions:
Using a large stock pot, pour in oil and turn burner on high to medium/high heat. (Temperature varies on how your stove heats. You want it to be pretty hot, but not so much that you burn the kernels or the sugar.) Also, throw in 2-3 kernels. Cover with a lid. Once the kernels have popped, you know your oil is at the right temperature. Sprinkle the sugar over the oil. Then, add the popcorn.
Cover with the lid again. Once you've put on the lid, lift the pot slightly and swish the pot around several times to help the sugar dissolve—this way the sugar doesn't burn.
Once the popcorn starts popping, you will want to occasionally (and carefully) shake/swish the pot to avoid burning. After the popping slows, remove from heat and dump into a large bowl. While the popcorn is still hot, sprinkle salt on the corn and stir it to evenly disperse the salt.
To store: Seal popcorn tight so it doesn't get soggy or stale—use gigantic zip lock bags. Kettle corn keeps for a week.
