Strawberry Sour Cream Pie

Because the strawberries are so good this year . . .

This is another one of those recipes I've been making for years. It doesn't get much easier than this.

4 cups strawberries (cut them in half)
1 half-baked pie shell

Mix together:

1 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour

Pour mixture over strawberries in pie. Sprinkle 2 T. sugar over top of sour cream mixture. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for additional 45 minutes.

Coconut Corn Nut Cookies

This is a cookie I've been making for at least 20 years from a cookbook entitled Applehood and Motherpie (thank you, Min). The name is deceiving because there are no corn nuts in this cookie. The coconut flavor is barely detectable. I mention this because I think even a coconut-hater would like this cookie. The coconut mostly provides texture, which is really really chewy. YUM. The recipe calls for corn flakes but I've been known to substitute Special K if it's all I have. I love this cookie.

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
2 cups corn flakes
2 cups coconut
1 t. vanilla

Cream butter and sugars and add eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients and spoon onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 12 minutes.
