Ethel's Sugar Cookies

I got this recipe from a friend and no one has any idea who "Ethel" is but who am I to remove the title from her delicious cookies!?



1 1/2 c. soft butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
5 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 400

Combine butter, vanilla and sugar in a bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time and scrape the bowl after each addition. Combine dry ingredients and add to egg mixture gradually until well moistened.

Chill for 1 hour. (Don't skip this step!)

Roll into balls and place on a baking sheet putting a dent in the top of each cookie.
Bake for 6-8 mins depending on the size of cookies you've made.

Cookies are done when the bottoms are light brown - not the tops. If you cook them until the tops are brown the bottom will be burnt.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com and have made it several times. It is SO good!

  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
  2. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
  3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
