HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOW BALD EAGLES

Steps:

• Place white confectioners' coating in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Insert a toothpick into the marshmallows and dip them into the melted white chocolate. Then roll in coconut and place on the mint sandwich cookie. Using kitchen shears, cut a slit and place a cashew where the beak should go. Melt the chocolate chips. Using a toothpick, draw a dot with a line over it on each side of the eagle's head for the eyes.

TREASURE ISLAND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove skin from chicken breasts and legs. Place chicken in baking dish bone side up. Amount of chicken you can cook depends on the size of your baking dish. 2 QT dish can make just over 3 lbs, which should be enough to serve 6.
• Bake chicken at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• After chicken has cooked for about 20 minutes, melt butter in saucepan. Once melted, stir in remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat and stir sauce until thickened.
• Remove chicken from oven and dish. Drain fat and wipe down dish. Place chicken back in dish bone side down. Cover with sauce and bake at 350 degrees for another 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven and dish. Drain sauce from dish into gravy boat. As stated, love to serve with rice and peas, but that all open to interpretation. Cover chicken and rice with sauce at will before serving. Then get down to enjoying the tasty goodness.

ISLAND TREASURE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. In small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter, sugars and vanilla until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually blend in flour mixture. Stir in coconut, nuts and chocolate. Drop dough by slightly rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let stand 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cook completely.

BROWN SUGAR PECAN REFRIGERATOR COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until completely incorporated. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl, then stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the pecans mixing just enough to evenly combine.
• Roll the dough into a log, and wrap in wax paper. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice the dough and arrange the cookies on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

A TO Z EVERYTHING-BUT-THE-KITCHEN-SINK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cornflakes, oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I found that slightly under baking these yields wonderfully chewy cookies!
