November 23: It's beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving

I haven't been feeling the Thanksgiving vibe yet.  I made our traditional cornflake cookies (recipe below picture) tonight, which helped.  It's not Thanksgiving without these little darlings.  Too bad they are 6 Points per cookie.


Cornflake Cookies


1 12-oz bag butterscotch chips
3/4 c peanut butter
4 1/2 c crushed cornflakes

Melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter together in microwave (on 1/2 power in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each 2 minutes, and being careful not to overcook the mixture).  Stir in cornflakes.  Drop in clumps onto cookie sheets, chill until serving.  Keep refrigerated.

This was my Grandma Thomson's recipe, something I didn't even know all the years I grew up eating them.  It was only when I got the recipe to make on my own, that I found that out.  I think about her every year now as I make them.

I saw this yesterday, and sorely lamented the lack of butterscotch chips here (they don't even have chocolate chips--it's barbaric!). I guess it made a significant impression, because I dreamed last night that I found butterscotch chips in the candy aisle of my favorite grocery store. I wish this dream would come true.
