Day 5 Cookies, Latte, and Cheese Sauce ? ? ? Odd combo but why not!

Okay today is going to be a bit different then normal. On the last date I went on we had papa johns pizza. I love this pizza restaurant, we were sitting out in the car waiting for the pizza to get done, and the guy behind the counter actually brought the pizza out to us, I thought that was pretty good service. So for dinner I had left over pizza and bread sticks. However There was not any cheese sauce for the bread sticks. Normally i dislike the jalapeno taste that most restaurants have for their bread sticks So I made my own cheese dip. I also had a craving for making a new type of cookie, I do not know if the recipe has already been used elsewhere so I was going to look up cookie recipes to see if I actually created my own recipe. But here we go.

Cheese Sauce

1 cup of flour
1/4 to 1/2 cup of water
1/2 package of sliced cheese individually warped (your choice)
2 cups of milk

In a pan heat 2 cups of milk. Start to rip apart into pieces the slices of cheese. To help move the melting process faster you can in a bowl place the ripped cheese in a little bit, 4 tablespoons or so of milk and melt in 45 second intervals. Add the partially melted cheese into the pan of milk, bring to a simmer, warning do not let the cheese sauce or milk come to a rolling boil. The cheese will burn, or the milk will scorch. In another bowl add 1 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of the water. stir well until no lumps are left add more water if needed flour and water mixture should look similar to pancake batter. Cook cheese until it is melted and hot. You can store in the refrigerator but try not to reheat more then once. take what you need from the container. - Enjoy non jalapeno flavored cheese with bread sticks or use it in a Mac and Cheese bake recipe.

James's Suisse Mocha Spritz

1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of butter room temperature
1/4 cup of Crisco
3/4 cup of sugar
1 table spoon Anise
2 tablespoons Cinnamon
2 tablespoons Suisse Mocha Cafe
1 egg

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

In a bowl mix the Flour Butter Crisco Egg Sugar Anise Cinnamon Suisse Mocha Cafe, If the dough is not the right consistency for cookies add a bit more flour to the batter.
Shape into balls and flatten out, and place in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes, keep an eye so they do not burn.

Suisse Mocha Cafe Latte

In a pan cook 1 cup milk on medium heat until it becomes somewhat foamy on top. add 4 teaspoons of Mocha cafe, and sugar to your taste. I like to add a half teaspoon of vanilla to mine and half and half. This goes well with the Suisse Mocha Spritz.
