These two sound pretty dern good to me, but I have to tell you guys, that Deb and I have cut our sugar consumption down to next to nothing. Sad but true.
We’ve just gotten back in, and I was looking through our daughter in law, Shelly Mae’s personal cookbook and ran across these two recipes.
You guys may want to give these babies a whirl. The first (Rave Review Cake),was given to Shelly by a Linda Shores, and it looks like the Butterfinger cookies may be from a recipe she’d picked up somewhere.
If you decide to try these, how bout getting in a bite for Dub and Deb too!
