  1. Pour milk into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Beat in the sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter, and salt; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Cover bowl, and set in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Punch down the dough, cover the bowl, and allow to rise again. Repeat this step two more times.
  3. Break off 2 to 3 inch size pieces of dough, roll lightly into round shape, and place in prepared baking dish, edges touching. Repeat to make 36 dough balls. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

(add)
2 eggs

(mix in separate bowl, then add)
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes

Turkey Nachos

(Great for Thanksgiving leftovers!)

1) place desired tortilla chips on cookie sheet

2) cover chips with leftover chunks of turkey, seasoned to your desire
3) sprinkle any other ingredients you would like (green chile, tomatoes, etc)

4) cover chips with shredded cheddar or other cheese

5) put in oven at 350 until ingredients are warm and cheese is melted (Differs for every oven, usually 10-12 minutes)

Alfajores

Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 small bag finely shredded coconut (optional)

Filling:
1 can sweetened condensed milk (I just buy the Dulce de Leche - I like to eat it on French bread)

For filling, place an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a large pan and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium, cover pan, and continue boiling for four hours. Make sure that the water ALWAYS stays above the top of the can or the can may explode. You may add more water periodically if you need to. After four hours, remove the can from the pan of water and let cool. The milk in the can has now turned to dulce de leche.

For cookies, heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter with sugar. Add flour and mix until the dough holds together. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into small (1-1/2 inch) circles. Bake cookies for 10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Cool cookies.

Open can of sweetened condensed milk and spread about one Tablespoon of dulce de leche on the bottom of one cookie. Put another cookie on top so that the bottoms of the cookies are facing each other. Optional: spread more dulce de leche around the edge of the assembled cookie, and roll edge in finely shredded coconut. Makes 2-3 dozen assembled cookies.
