Fairy Drops

Dec 4, 2010 by

This recipe comes from Delores Kline. Her daughter, Rachael, was Abbey’s very best friend in preschool. These wonderful people still live in Ohio. Delores helped me through the very tough time of Joshy’s trial. She came and helped me clean my house one day when all I could do is just hold Joshy when he first came home from the hospital. God knew this is exactly what I would need to help me see that Josh was ALIVE and WELL and that I could actually put him in his crib and he would not die…very special lady!

4 1/2 cups flour

mix these together and set aside.

beat until smooth: 1 cup butter, 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted), 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup cooking oil, 2 eggs, 2tsp almond extract.
