Sugar Cookies
Betty,
How do you make sugar cookies and butter cookies?
--Linda
Hi Linda! I have a couple of recipes just for you! Drop Sugar Cookies is my go-to cookie when I’m looking for an easy no-fuss cookie that’s sweet and delicious. And my recipe for Glazed Vanilla Cookies uses another simple dough, but one you roll it into balls before baking instead of dropping onto the baking sheet with a spoon. Please try them both!

Hi Ms. Betty,
I was just wondering if you have any recipes for a really good cream cheese frosting. I make a really good Red Velvet Cake but I fall short when it comes to the frosting. I would really appreciate if you could come up with an easy recipe. Thanks in advance.

I am a novice cook and I would like to know how to make a crumb topping like they have on Dutch apple pie or to put over a cherry dessert.

Dear Betty,
Could you find me a good, low-fat zucchini bread recipe that will work at Mile High altitude? We cut back to one plant this year but we've still got so much zucchini that I fear my granite counter tops will cave under the weight. (P.S. Love that white hair!)

Question
Grandma,
Our farmers’ market has such great corn on the cob! Can I use fresh corn in recipes that call for canned?

Question
Please add a couple macaroni salad recipes. I recently had one that was simply delicious, and prior to that I had not been a fan. It seemed to have a taste of onion, but not too overpowering, a smattering of green pepper finely chopped, celery, green peas, a bit of finely diced carrots (not quite shredded, but very small) and hard boiled egg. The dressing was mayo based rather than miracle whip, but it had some spices I did not readily identify, but it was wonderful. Thx.

Question
Back in 2005, I received your cards; they were my first exposure to cooking from scratch and I still use some of the recipes now. One of my favourite recipes–and one that I’ve shared among many friends and family members because it is so good–was your chicken parmigiana recipe. It had a buttery cracker (like Club brand or similar) coating and mozzarella slices melted over it. It was quick, easy, and amazing. I no longer have the card and was disappointed to find that it isn’t among your collection. Though I’ve long since had it memorized, I had hoped to see it among the others and know that other families were enjoying it as much as mine does today.

QuestionI used to have a recipe for Nan's peanut butter cookies made by you, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I've tried at least a dozen others but they don't compare in taste or the softness of yours. --MicaelaMarch 2012

QuestionI used to get the cards in the mail but one recipe has gone missing from my collection and no one will fess up. It was one of the 'keepsake cookies' and I think it was called Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. What I remember about them were that they were chocolate cookies with chocolate chips in them and that you had to refrigerate the dough overnight. It was a HUGE family favorite. Can you help me? --AnneMarch 2012
