It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I used to make these when I was a kid. They are so good! The instructions don't say when to add the vanilla. For those wondering, you add it when you cream the butter and sugar together.

Not trying to be mean or anything just I think that there was too much butter added all I taste is butter and sugar and I donât think itâs very good And I followed the recipe correctly But it just wasnât for me but Iâm sure you make other recipes that are very tasty.

Better make a double batch!!! These cookies melt in your mouth... I have been a huge fan since 1980!!!!
To DaBigMoose use Splenda both sugar and powdered forms available. I started making these about 60 years ago with my Better Crocker Kids cookbook in my grad-mothers kitchen. Still LOVE them.

My niece brought this recipe home from grade school about 38 years ago. I've been hooked ever since. I see comments from some complaining about these cookies. Chilling the mixture in the fridge is essential - I go for overnight, rather than just for a few hours. This allows time for the oatmeal to soak up the liquid ingredients, including the liquefied butter. I do liquefy it in the microwave, rather than just softening it. Much easier to work with, and I think it makes a better cookie. Every time I make these for friends, I curse the day I developed diabetes. I could eat an entire double batch of these with no trouble (except from the diabetes and from my doctor if she ever found out that I did that!)

LOVE these cookies and they are so easy to make. The vanilla is missing from the directions but I just added it with the water.

I love these cookies. One question: is the vanilla extract optional? It is in your list of ingredients but not in the recipe instructions. Thanks. Just wondering... Sandra
