jitterbug

What a catchy name for a cookie. Makes you want to do a little happy dance.

I found the recipe in an old Pillsbury Butter Cookie Cookbook. Ann Pillsbury had collected a bunch of European cookie recipes and said this one is from Sweden. I'll have to confer with The Swedish Friend and see what she says, but in the meanwhile, here it is!

cook's country texas sheet cake

 
“It’s deja vu all over again”

I know I just made this cake. But The Illinois BFF, upon receiving my last post, sang the praises of it. She said, "Have you tried the Cook's Country Texas Sheet Cake? It's fabulous." She said that whenever she makes it, people go gaga over it.

I had a dinner party in need of a dessert. I like gaga. I like fabulous. Perfect!
