"These are so yummy...
My family cannot get enough of these. With these make sure you keep a good eye on them or they will turn hard and not be as flavorful! I got this from a cook book and changed it. Shortening is better to use then cooking oil, but if needed cooking oil makes a good substituion."

I LOVE to cook, but its kind of an extra thing for me. I mainly sing and act, but when ever I can, I will cook. I am the type of person who will brighten up a room just by fliping a switch :D
