Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture on the bottom of each strip. Take the bottom right corner and fold the dough over the filling to make a triangle. Fold the bottom left corner up to make another triangle. Continue folding until all the dough is folded. Arrange the stuffed triangles, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the triangle with butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and spinach filling.

Basic Sugar Cookies - Tried and True Since 1960
This sugar cookie recipe with self-rising flour is from my backwoods Mississippi grandmother. My mom kept the recipe, and we grew up eating raw cookie dough before snacking on the cookies during the holidays. This will always be my basic cookie dough recipe. It's quick and easy to make with everyday ingredients in the most sparsely stocked kitchens. You don't have to be a master chef to get a batch of these light and buttery cookies to turn out well. Royal icing is recommended, but these are also wonderful without icing.
Puffed Caramel Corn
Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store and is used in this recipe to make great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!
