Someone(I believe it wasKarla???) posted a cookie recipe a couple of weeks ago. It was Strawberry angel cookies. Using Strawberry preserves and angel food cake mix. I have been working(eating cookies is a hard job) with it ever since. I made apricot, raspberry, and blackberry. Today I made them with pumpkin pie filling. I must say they are delious. Perfect for the holiday season and so easy to make.
The recipe called for a box of angel food cake mix and 3/4 cup preserves. Mix well, then beat for one minute. Bake at 325 for 12 minutes.
I used the mix and 3/4 cup pumpkin pie filling and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice instead.
I want to thank whoever it was who posted the original recipe. Not only that but all my neighbor, friends and strangers on the street thank you. I've give away cookies on a daily basis. So now I have stray cats lined up on the front porch for food and neighborhood kids on the back porch for cookies.
But ya'll really do need to try these cookies they are fat free but not calorie free. I'm going to make them for Thanksgiving lunch. I'm going to make my own pumpkin pie filling and use Splenda, that will cut some of the sugar.
I'm sitting here eating cooies and drinking Sothern Comfort No. 7 coffee. Thanks to John and Carmen.
One more thing if you do a lot of cookie baking go to the hardware store and buy yourself a 2 inch putty spreader. Perfect for cookies.  Love, Miss Mary

I made some with sugar free preserves and sugar free jams and there were delicious. The coffee just hit the spot. Tell John thank you for thinking of me. I bet he's just thanking God that your his wife instead of me. I'm on my third pot right now. Love. Miss Mary
