What Can I Make With BUTTER?
I know it’s a common ingredient in many many recipes, however, I’m looking for simple, quick and easy things I can make with butter.
Obviously, this isn’t a diet section. 
Just assume I found a great sale on butter and diet is not as issue. What can I make with all this butter?

We make 1-2 batches of old-fashioned oatmeal cookies a week. The kids love them and they are a healthy snack.
We use the recipe on the box of Quaker oatmeal. Here are our secrets to perfect cookies:
Omit the cinnamon. Use real butter. Use old-fashioned oats instead of quick cooking oats. Use real vanilla not imitation. Bake for 10 minutes…these cookies are inhaled!
We go through a lot of butter

Since I am not a garlic fan, my favorite treat of all is a large loaf of Italian bread smeared with butter, and toasted in the over! OMG……

I love butter and use it alot. My favorite thing to do with butter is sauces. Start with 3 tablespoons butter add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. After that you can add a can of stewed tomatoes and a teaspoon of garlic and a teaspoon of oragano all in a sauce pan let boil and stir constantly til all butter is melted and the sauce is warm then throw it over some pasta, a dip for italian bread,over some cooked chicken breast,in some shrimp, or make alot of it and store in a container for later. It can be used on or in a wide variety of things.

Butter cookies! This recipe is from my own grandmother’s cookbook “Grandma Kunert’s Favorite Recipes” 1992. She passed away in 1999 and will always be remembered for the hot, soft butter cookies she made us every time we visited! I make them occassionally and my kids love them as much as I do.
1 pound butter
2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 c finely chopped nuts (optional or any type you like!)
Cream butter and sugar together.
Add flour, vanilla, and nuts.
Dip into batter with teaspoon or tablespoon according to size of cookie desired.
Roll batter into a ball, press down with a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake at 350, 15-20 minutes or until lightly brown.
Enjoy. Best if served warm with milk!
