Meatball Cookies

 Meatball cookies are sort of a family tradition. Everyone (all 6 or 7 aunts) in my Dad's family made them as I was growing up, and oddly every aunt's tasted and looked slightly different. Some aunts added nuts, some not, some liquor, some not, and some made them huge and some made them smaller. So I'm going to leave my rendition of the recipe.. 


Meatball Cookies

1 c sugar
1 c butter
8 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 c cocoa
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
4 c flour
12 oz chocolate chips
1/4 c whiskey *
1 Tbs rum * 
1 Tbs brandy *
2 Tbs oil

first cream sugar and butter, then add cream cheese, cream more, then eggs and milk stir till mixed thoroughly. Then add all dry stuff and chips and mix. Then liquor.

mix pieces off ( meatball or walnut size) and roll. use a little oil in your hands to make it smooth.

bake 400 deg 8 - 10 min
frost or not lol 

* my sons decided to replace all these with Fireball Whiskey, it seemed to make it even better however i am not privy to the amount they use. keep in mind they are usually drinking the fireball when making these.

 For several years I've lived a double life. I love Gaming, and have met so many friends in this other world. Over the last 20 years I have played several games, but the one I stuck through the longest is there.com. This Blog has been born from friends within this game. You see I  help organize the Themes and Events, and over the years we have included recipe swap events, currently we are having Amish Harvest Days.
