Fried Chicken and Cheesesteaks

  First prep 12 oz of Buttersworth original hard candies.    Unwrap, put them in a gallon ziploc bag, put bag into an old pillowcase or fold into a dishcloth, and pound with a mallet or the bottom of a heavy sauce pan:       Preheat oven to 350 degrees  Cream together:  2 sticks butter, at room temperature  1 cup brown sugar Then add:  2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt When well combined add in: 2 cups flour 1 cup rolled oats Then add:  12 ounces hard butterscotch candies (prepared as described) Drop by the tablespoon onto parchment lined sheet pans, 3" apart.    Small balls, socially distanced.   These cookies seriously spread, y'all.       Bake ~10 minutes.   If your oven is uneven, turn the pans halfway.    Let the cookies cool on their tray, undisturbed.      Then store cooled cookies between layers of parchment.  ...

For an 8 x 8 pan of MARVELOUS blondies: Mix in a bowl: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt Melt in your microwave or over the stove: 1 stick butter remove from heat, and mix in: 1 cup brown sugar Mix the brown sugar into the flour mixture, and allow to cool a few minutes. Meanwhile, combine: 2 eggs 1 Tablespoon corn syrup 1 Tablespoon vanilla Combine the two bowls. Mix in 1 cup of chopped nuts. I used macadamia nuts (don't faint. they aren't NEARLY as expensive at Trader Joes). Pecans would also be wonderful. Pour into a greased pan, and bake for about 30 minutes at 350. So one question remains: a tall glass of milk or a nice hot cup of coffee?
