Best Ever Snickerdoodle Cookies

I have made many recipes for Snickerdoodle cookies.

Nothing compares to this one in taste and texture.

The buttery cookies are tender crunchy mouth-watering while baking cookies.

The Snickerdoodles are by far the best ever cinnamon fall sugar cookie ever!

I can't tell you how many I have made that never compare to this recipe.

If you bake these until set they stay soft inside, and crunchy outside, baking longer makes them more like sugar cookies.

Either way, they taste great but everyone is different in preference.

Copycat Captain Crunch Chicken

Copycat Captain Crunch Chicken is a true game-changer when it comes to coating chicken fingers and we've made it simple to recreate this popular menu item right in your own kitchen!

Back in the early 1990s when this debuted at Stallones restaurant this was a popular menu item we just had to try. The sweet crunchy coating on chicken kept it moist, fork tender then dipped in honey mustard very memorable in flavors.

Both my kids and myself were hooked and it took me several blunders to get the recipe right even trying the ones online but they were never quite right in taste or texture.

First of all yes, it was deep-fried in the restaurant but we've perfected a two other healthier version.

Then through trial and error to keep the coating on I hit the jackpot baking it and the rest is a delicious cereal coated chicken history we make often with no problem.

Baking these on an oil sprayed parchment paper still kept that delicious flavor, however, we have provided an air fried version and pan fried instructions for the original recipe method of cooking.

Whichever style you prefer we have you covered for making the perfect Cap'n Crunch Chicken.

The honey mustard had to be made from scratch to get that whole experience because the store-bought ones just weren't that same taste we remembered.

Over the years after trial and error, the chicken comes out just the way we love the crunchy sweet and salty coated chicken and honey mustard recipe is super easy I promise.

If you're a fan of the 1950s-style Cornflake Chicken or Church Chicken, you're going to love this addition to your recipe collection.

Don't take my word for it, just try it once and get hooked like our family is.

Plus the chicken is moist, tender, sweet, and simply delicious and we even included the homemade Honey Mustard recipe in our printable card below, so let's get started, you're going to love the simplicity of our recipe and taste.

Christmas Eve Pan Fried Smelts

Christmas Eve is celebrated with 7 fishes in our home.

Fried smelts are just one of the many fish we cook.

There are seven traditional dishes we eat as a family: fried, baked, in tomato sauce.

Born and raised in America, my parents continued the Rome and Bari traditions every Christmas Eve.

For our traditional Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we have no meat until the morning baby Jesus was born.

Also, smelt is usually fried whole, but last time I fried them, there was something in the heads that seemed quite gritty, so I decided to cut the heads off this time.

Scroll down to the printable recipe card for the recipe on how to prepare and cook fried smelts.

Cherry Almond Snowball Cookies

There are several names for butterball cookies, these are pretty much the same recipe except they are cherry almond and a bit of chocolate in the cookies.

The cookies are crunchy butter cookies loaded with flavor and certainly a pretty addition to the Christmas cookie tray for the colors.

Of course you can also leave them plain with just the classic pecans in them but we decked them all out for the holiday with this pretty bright red color to match the Christmas theme.

You could even chop up some green maraschino cherries to really add some spark to your holiday colors.
