Making a Sandwich

Today I decided it was time the girls made their own sandwiches, or at least learn how.  The following is their interpretation of their first adventure in sandwich making....

Lauren's Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

Mini Sn❄w Day Cookies

These cookies are the result of two things: one, funning up cookies on our snow day. Two, my quest for a better tasting cookie out of my Ohio oven.

What makes these cookies a little different aren't just the mini goodies, but the caramelized butter.  Ummmmm.

2 ¼ cups Softasilk or unsifted flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 cup butter, warmed and cooked slightly on the stove top

¾ cup sugar

¾ cup brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

mini M&Ms

mini chocolate chips {we also added 1 cup oatmeal to this one}

1. Cream sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and melted butter.

2. Beat in eggs.

3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt.  Mix well.

4. Split batter in half.  Poor mini M&Ms into one, and mini chocolate chips into another.  {Be generous, but leave enough room to taste the batter.}

5. Spoon into small dollops on the cookie sheet. Bake at 360° for 10-12 minutes, or until just barely baked in the center and light brown around the edges.

Enjoy as many as possible warm and with ice cold milk.  {They taste best when enjoyed in your jammies!}

Chicken By Abby

Abby came up with this one completely on her own.

"This is how you make a chicken.

First you fold it up.

Then you wrap it.

Then you punch it.

There, a chicken. See, Mom?"

Poor chicken.

Abby Shares a Few of Her Favorite Recipes

Abby, in recent days, has been sharing with me just how she puts together her special dishes she cooks up in her little kitchen. I've decided to put the pen to paper, so to speak, and begin a collection of her recipes.

Tacos

Potatoes

Mac 'N Cheese

Put oatmeal in it. And chocolate chips. And frosting. Put the frosting on, then you eat the cookies.
