Swedish Meat Balls

This recipe comes from my mother-in-law. I've made it many times and it is a favorite. Can never go wrong with meat balls, they go with anything.

Swedish Meat Balls

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup minced onion

1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce

3/4 cup bread crumbs

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

1 tbsp. salt

parsley

Shape into tiny meat balls and bake at 375 F for 20 minutes.

Sauce:

3/4 c. water

1 tbsp. soya sauce

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/3 cup ketchup

1/3 cup vinegar

1 tsp. cornstarch

Mix and simmer a few minutes. Pour over meat balls in a casserole. Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the most awesome chocolate chip cookies you will ever make. I got the recipe from a friend many years ago and it's the only one I use now. They don't last long at our house, unless I manage to get a few to the freezer without anyone noticing!!

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 c. butter or marg. softened

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c white sugar

1 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

3 c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. warm water

1 1/2 cs. chocolate chips

Cream together softened marg, eggs and sugars. Add vanilla and water. Mix in seperate bowl - flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips. Add to creamed mixture, mix with spoon. Place on cookie sheet. I use a tbsp. quite round full (we like bigger cookies).

Bake for 8 minutes at 350F. The cookies will look like they are not quite done in the middle - this is perfect. They should be light brown around the edges. If they are too raw - bake one or two minutes more. Let them sit in the cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing to cool completely.

I've made this batch with white chocolate chips (chocolate chips give Brad migranes). I've also done this recipe with smarties or butterscotch chips.

HAPPY COOKING!!
