Valentine Cookies

I hope my children never grow old of me baking for them. I still find great joy in making them holiday sugar cookies. They are now 24 & 27. The sprinkle sugar cookie recipe I discovered last year when I was browsing allrecipes.com. Boy, I love that site!

Here is the recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Soft-Sugar-Cookies-IV/Detail.aspx.

The frosted decorated sugar cookies I came across many, many years ago...in a betty crocker cookbook that I had checked out from the library. I think DD, my oldest, was 6 or 7 at the time. I have been making them ever since. I LOVE checking out cookbooks from the library.

Here is the recipe http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/sugar-cookies/90993177-b5fe-4cc7-a6b6-8f58913d36e8

The little chocolate cookies are super easy and delicious. I make them when I have left over frosting. They are my version of the oreo caksters. YUMMY!

Here is the recipe:

1 Chocolate Cake Mix (I like fudge. If you have an Aldi's there chocolate box cake mix makes the best.)

2 eggs

1/4 -1/3 cup vegetables oil (I have made them with 1/4 cup oil when I ran low on oil.)

2 T water

handful of chocolate chips (optional)

Bake at 350 for 5 to 8 minutes until bottom is golden. Recipe yields 24 cookies or 12 large cakesters. Easy and economical. Got to love that!

Happy Weekend everyone!

Blueberry Muffins - Take 2

Well, I tried another blueberry muffin recipe this weekend. They were pretty good. I did find the muffins to be on the dense side. Here is the recipe if you want to give it a try. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Blueberry-Cream-Muffins/Detail.aspx

Quest for the perfect blueberry muffins

I love blueberry muffins. I have tried several recipes over the years but have never found one I love. So, I have decided to continue the quest and post all the recipes until I find that perfect blueberry muffin. If you have a great recipe I should try post the link in the comments.

This weekend I made the blueberry muffin recipe which can be found in the book Baking with Julia. You can find the book here http://www.amazon.com/Baking-Julia-Savor-Americas-Bakers/dp/0688146570.

I found the recipe on another blog also....... So, instead on retyping it, I just thought I would share her blog link. She has a good picture of the muffins too. http://www.seasaltwithfood.com/2009/01/blueberry-muffins.html

My review: The muffins are good. The texture is more like a corn muffin with blueberries. I probably won't make them again.

So, the quest continues.

Zucchini Brownies

My garden is starting to produce yummy items for consumption. I thought I would try out the brownie recipe I found on allrecipes.com. The frosting was simple and quick. The brownies are good but I think I would prefer to use my large zucchini in zucchini bread.

Here is the recipe if you are interested. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Zucchini-Brownies/Detail.aspx
