Peanut Butter Balls (NEW!)

Ingredients:

2 1/2 sticks margarine (NOT butter)
2 cups creamy peanut butter
5 cups powdered sugar
2 big Hershey bars (or 8 reg size)
1 - 12 ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 bar of wax (melt in a rinsed out soup can inside a pan with 1 to 2 inches of water)

Directions:

In a large bowl mix margarine, peanut butter and powdered sugar together until it reaches the consistency of play-dough. Using a tablespoon to measure, roll the dough into balls & place on a waxed/parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate to make firm then remove the balls and let return to room temperature before dipping. If the balls are too cold the chocolate thickens very quickly and can get clumpy.

Melt chocolate together. Melt wax separately. Gradually add wax to the melted chocolate, stirring constantly.

Drop peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate mixture, pick up with a fork and gently slide back onto lined baking sheet. It is easiest to use a plastic fork with the two center prongs broken out. Keep chilled in the fridge.


Thank you AnneMarie for another winner!

2 cups sugar
1 - 15 ounce carton full-fat ricotta cheese
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. lemon zest, grated
4 cups flour

Glaze Ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. lemon juice, squeezed
1 tsp. lemon zest

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the cookie ingredients to form a sticky dough. Use a cookie scooper to drop spoonfuls onto a pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure you have at least 2 inches between each cookie. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms are golden and the tops are still white. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.

Mix together the ingredients for the glaze. If it is a little thick just add 1/2 teaspoon water to make it easy to spread onto the cookies. Add a tiny bit more water if it is still too thick.

These are really YUMMY! You could even add sprinkles on the top if the glaze is still wet.
