Penuche Frosting

Penuche Frosting


This recipe is from my Mom. It’s a recipe that is used to make boxed cake mixes that extra something when you need something to add to them when you don’t have enough time to make and frost an entire cake! A single batch of frosting will frost the top of a 13x9 cake 


Ingredients 
  • 1/2 cup of butter 
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 3/4-2 cups of powdered sugar
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Directions
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan. 
  2. Then add the brown sugar.
  3.  Boil and stir over low heat for two minutes. 
  4. Add the milk and bring back to a boil stirring constantly. 
  5. Then cool to lukewarm. 
  6. Gradually add the powdered sugar while beating with an electric mixer. 
  7. Then spread on a cooled cake. 
  8. Makes enough to frost the top of a 13x9 cake
(Best on spice or carrot cakes)

Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies *Updated*

This recipe was given to my mom by a close family friend. I’ve tweaked it and changed some ratios on add ins and other things, so enjoy!  Here is the story it came with: "A woman from the American Bar Association called Mrs. Fields Cookies and asked for the recipe. She was told there was a "two-fifty" charge for the recipe. She assumed it was $2.50, and charged it to her Visa. When she received her statement and discovered that it was indeed "two-fifty"; Two HUNDRED and Fifty dollars. In order to get her money's worth she is passing it on to everyone. Make a copy and give it to a friend with a blessing."  Mrs. Fields Cookies Preheat oven to 375 degrees  2 cups Butter, room temperature  2 cups Sugar 2 cups Brown Sugar 4 eggs, room temperature  1 tablespoon of vanilla  3 1/2 cups flour 6 cups ground oatmeal  (put small amounts into a blender and blend until it turns to powder.
