Desserts in Ramekins!

CHOCOHOTOPOTS (I got this recipe from Mom who got it from Becky!)
1 stick + 1 T butter

¾ c superfine sugar (can blend regular sugar to make it superfine)
5 oz semisweet chocolate
2 eggs

3 T flour

Heat oven to 400. Butter 4 ramekins (2/3-1 c capacity), or you can use teacups or mugs if you don’t have ramekins. Either in microwave or in bowl suspended over pan of simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Set aside to cool. Mix eggs with sugar and flour and whisk. Beat in cooled chocolate mixture. Divide evenly between ramekins. Bake 20 minutes, tops will be cooked and cracked and chocolate gooey underneath. Serve plain or with ice cream. WILL BE HOT! If desired, can let cool before serving, but they will sink a little. (We refrigerated some overnight and before cooking the next day, set them out for 30 minutes. They cooked up just as yummy, but maybe not quite as fluffy. The pic above is ones that were in the fridge!)

Pazooki's!

Just throw some cookie dough in the ramekins (or you can buy little pie pans) and undercook a few minutes. Top with ice cream (sorry about the blurry pic, I was in a hurry to eat it! ha ha).

Here's our favorite cookie recipe!

Sandy's Cookies
1 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup oatmeal (regular works best, but you can use instant if it's all you've got!)
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 bag toffee chips (heath chips are at Safeway or Walmart)
1/2 bag chocolate chips (Guittard Maxi chips are my favorite!)
1/2 bag white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional- I did not add them today)

Preheat oven to 375. Cream together the shortening and the sugars. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Bake at for 8-9 minutes. (6-7 for Pazooki's!)
