Shortbread:
INGREDIENTS
* 2 cups real butter, softened (no substitutes)
* 1 cup white sugar
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 4 cups all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla; add flour and mix well.
3. Put through cookie press and form cookies onto baking sheets. (Or you can just roll them in balls and slightly flatten them, but handle quickly or the butter will get too warm and they'll spread). Bake for 10 minutes. Cool one minute and transfer to wire rack.
sugar cookies.
Spreadable cream cheese and a dab of jam on a graham cracker....just like having a cheesecake
a cup of tea with sugar
cheese cake
Strawberry Shortcake, Monkeycake, Cup cakes, etc...
Baked fruit with honey, very tasty and natually sweet. Add a little vanilla yogurt or ice cream to make it look extra pretty.
Make a dump cake! They're easy if you have the ingredients:
crushed pineapple, cherry pie filling, butter, and any white or yellow box cake mix. There are dozens of recipes and variations for this on the web if you Google it. They're easy, fast, and delicious! :)
Pumpkin muffins!

=) Make a substitution here and there (wheat flour for white, add only half the salt, 15 oz can of pumpkin instead of a whole sugar pumpkin and use an alternative for vegetable oil (applesauce or melted margerine)) and that stuff is YUMMY!
I did leave out the cloves in mine, however, since I've found I'm not fond of them.
