CHOCOLATE NUT DAINTIES

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beating until blended. Add flour and salt, beating well. Stir in mini morsels.

• Bake at 350*F. for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned; remove to wire racks to cool.
• Microwave chocolate morsels at High 4 minutes or until melted, stirring once.
• Dip ends of cookies in melted chocolate. Roll ends in walnuts. Place on wax paper until set. Freeze up to 1 month, if desired. Enjoy!

DUTCH DAINTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325*.
• BASE: Combine ingredients and press into greased muffin tins to form a shell for filling.
• FILLING: Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold in brown sugar, coconut, nuts, cherries and baking powder. Spoon into muffin cups over base.
• Bake @ 325* until filling is golden brown (and toothpick comes out clean) about 20 minutes.

CHOCOLATE ROLL DAINTY

Steps:

• In a pot over low heat: Melt the chocolate and margarine.
• In a small bowl beat the egg slightly, carefully whisk into the above mixture until nicely blended.
• Remove from heat, add the graham crumbs.
• If the graham crumbs have not cooled the mixture to warm, allow mixture to cool to warm before folding in the marshmallows, walnuts, and cherries.You don't want to be melting the marshmallows.
• Shape into a roll on wax paper, rolling into the size you wish - basically like a sausage roll.
• For variety I often roll in flaked coconut which gives it an extra special look.
• Chill in refrigerator until set, slice and serve.
