Butter Cookies

-
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. They were very tasty. I made them into sandwiches with melted chocolate between the two cookies.



1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks, 2 tablespoons water, flour, salt and vanilla. Chill the dough. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Fill the cookie press and shape the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the top of each cookie with the egg whites mixed with 2 tablespoons of the water. Decorate as desired. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) until the cookies are golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!
