Pumpkin Pie Tarts


Thank you E.D.SMITH and Tenderflake
Here is a simple and yummy recipe for Pumpkin Pie Tarts. I know my house loved them. You need two boxes of tenderflake tart shells or you can get one box and freeze the other half or filling.

Take your tarts out of the freezer for 10 minutes so you can separate without breaking them.
Preheat 425F

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp  salt
1 pkg of vanilla pudding mix (you don't make the pudding you just use the powder)
1 can pure pumpkin (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 can evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
Line your pan with the tarts and then in a mixing bowl mix sugar pumpkin pie spice salt and vanilla pudding mix. In another bowl mix pure pumpkin evaporated milk and eggs beaten one at a time. Add dry ingredients to wet then I used a 1/4 measuring cup and filled the tarts up.

This recipe will make 24 tarts but I only bought one box which is 12 tart shells so I freezed the other half so remember to buy two boxes or freeze the other half. 

Put them in the oven at 425F for 15 minutes then turn the oven down to 350F and bake for another 35-40 minutes. When knife in center comes out clean they are done. They'll puff up but then flatten back out when cooled. I add cool whip then served and they are good.. Enjoy..

Triple Chocolate Cookies
















So as you can see I needed a chocolate fix lol... I didn't want to drive to the store just for a chocolate bar so I made so very chocolate cookies. The three chocolates are white chipits mini chipits and hershey's cocoa. Here is the recipe I should tell you that you need milk with this cookie..

Preheat oven 350F
Makes about 3 dozen small cookies

Triple Chocolate Cookies

2 1/2 cups of flour
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 or 1/3 cocoa (I used 1/2 cup for chocolaty cookies and it was hershey's cocoa)
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
1/2 cup white chipits
1/2 cup mini chocolate chipits

Mix flour baking soda and salt and cocoa in small bowl.

Mix margarine (soften in mircowave for 30 seconds) both sugar till blended add vanilla, eggs mix well. Add dry ingrandents alittle at a time then after its mixed well add the chipits.

These cookies don't spread much so either use a tablespoon for small cookies or a 2 oz scoop for larger cookies but you have to press the larger cookies down so they'll cook. Hope you enjoy.

Bake at 350F 10-12 minutes
