Cookie, Cookies Every Where And Not A One To Eat!
All set up ready to make Mrs. DoF Oatmeal Cookies this morning. I have opted for raisins in them because that is Jay’s favorite. I followed each step and the results are here:
As you promised delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Next out of the oven was Peanut Butter White Chips cookies . Made with a white cake mix and easy to do.
This is another tasty combination.
Cookie number three today was the Angel Food Cake mix cookies. The recipe called for water or diet pop. I chose Diet Rite Black Cherry because Jay had it here and it containsSplenda.
The cookies had the texture of cotton candy when you first put it in your mouth. They were difficult to take off the pan and generally look a little messy.
Batch number four was the Butterscotch Bars. This also was made with a white cake mix.
The flavor is great but when cut it is more like a cake than a bar or a cookie.
Our last project of the day was the Easy Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies made with a German chocolate cake mix.
A good flavor but Jay said the Chocolate Cookie made with the devil’s food mix that I baked yesterday had the better flavor. After all this I can’t even smell them let-alone taste them.
So ends the cookie making for this year. They will be frozen until time to give them away guaranteeing their survival.
Adventures In Thread!
More of crocheting in thread!
My attempt at the animals was somewhat feeble as you can see. The black donkey need more stuffing to firm him up. My poor cow was in the same condition and the bell didn’t make it any easier for ‘old Bossie’ to hold up her head. ( I don’t even know if they put bells on cows back then.) Now the camel the first year stood up on his own but this last year he has to leanagainst the wall. I need to find something to use for skeletal stability for them.
When it came to the shepherd I had the Styrofoam base and ball to cover. Of the two sheep one came out like a tangle of kite string with legs . The other did however almost resemble a sheep. At that point of the project I was ready to quit but I had bought all the supplies and wouldn’t throw the money away so I blundered on. Stay tuned for adventures in thread!
