Chill in fridge for 3 to 4 hours but if you are in a hurry put dough in the freezer for 30 minutes.
After well chilled roll tablespoon sized balls and place on greased baking dish about 1 1/2″ apart.
Bake for 14 minutes.
They will look like the should cook longer, but don’t. They firm up to a chewy delight quit nicely.

Chicken Parmesan
This is my Honey’s favorite dish whenever we get a chance to go out and now I see why.
Ingredients:
1 Sleeve Crackers
3 Chicken Breasts
Half Box Spaghetti
Jar of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce
2 Eggs
1 Cup Flour
Mozzerella Cheese
Parmesan
Salt & Pepper
Instructions:
Preheat Oven to 350º
Crush Crackers in zip lock using roller or some other fancy tool like a can of veges.
Pound chicken between wax paper, cling wrap, or parchment paper (not too thin)
Yep that is rubber mallet, lol that is all I had. This is what it looks like when your done working out your aggressions:
Next, get your work station ready (don’t want to have to touch too much with chicken fingers. On a plate add your cracker crumbs, on another plate add your flour and in a bowl mix a couple of eggs. Add salt and pepper to each.
In this order, dip your chicken into the Flour, Egg Bath and Cracker Crumbs. Heat on a hot, lightly oiled skillet just until browned and brown the other side:
Place on a baking dish top with Mozzarella and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Bake at 350º for 10 to 20 minutes. We baked ours for 10 and it was perfect:
Viola!
It was so satisfying to hear “oooouuuu and mmmmm” from the family.
This recipe fed a family of six with some to spare. Although I was thinking I should have made more spaghetti for left overs.

Ok, I promised to post this recipe for you along with a pic, but I forgot to take a pic right after I made it, but I was able to sneak a pic before it was gone:
See why it’s called a “Pig Picken” Cake? Makes you wanna pig out!!!
Here is the recipe for a layered cake:
2 boxes of White Cake Mix
Medium Can of Mandarin Oranges
Large can of Crushed Pineapple
2 Large tubs of Cool Whip
1 Large Box of Jello Vanilla Pudding
Follow the instructions on the cake box, but add the half (drained) can of Mandarin oranges per batch.
Bake like normal.
While the cakes are baking:
In a large bowl mix Vanilla Pudding and the can of Pineapple, juices and all.
Add one tube of Cool Whip and fold till almost blended than add the other tub of Cool Whip and fold gently until completely blended.
When both cakes are VERY cooled, frost the top of the first cake generously and place 2nd layer on top of it and complete frosting process generously.
Place in refrigerator and let chill before serving (at least an hour.)
There should be some frosting left over. My kids like to nibble on it, but it would be a great topper on some jello or pound cake!
