Here is my original recipe

These are so cute for Fall and Thanksgiving! They are also super delicious - you can't just eat one!

Indian Corn Cookies
  • 1 pkg frozen sugar cookie dough
  • 1 can Pillsbury cream cheese frosting
  • 8 boxes of Reeses Pieces
  • 4 boxes of fruit roll ups (the multi-color kind are the only ones that have the color green in them)

Cool 10 minutes. Spread frosting on top. Dot with rows of Reeses pieces. Take roll ups that have green in them. Carefully cut out the green strips. Cut into skinny triangles and place on the bottom of cookies for the husks. Enjoy!

Parmesan Baked Potato Halves

These make a great side dish or appetizer. They are so delicious!!

Parmesan Baked Potato Halves

  • 6 small potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half
  • 1/4 cup butter

Lemon Cream Cheese French Toast Sandwiches




I created this for General Conference breakfast. It was super to easy to make and super yummy!! You could substitute for your favorite pie fillings. I think blueberry and lemon would be so yummy!

Place in hot skillet and fry until golden on all sides. Top with cherry pie filling, powdered sugar and whipped cream. Enjoy!
