Forth of July Week, Day 5

Today we made Cookie Parfaits (at least that's what Pillsbury calls them).

They're really more of cupcake parfaits. But they were fun to make (although a little messy, as you can see above).

I linked the recipe above so I won't go through directions. Pillsbury has them in rainbows, which is cute but I knew I could easily change them to red white and blue for this week.

Here's the action shots:

 (Stirring the batter)

 (Adding colors)

 (Crumbling they're cookie cupcakes)

(Showing off their hard work)

They were pretty good, although nothing special. We made ours a little (okay, a lot, probably twice as big) bigger than the recipe which ended up being too much for KL, but they had fun and enjoyed the snack.

That's all for now,
Jo!

I Cook Too!!

Hey y'all, I know so far it's been mostly crafts (there was a Thanksgiving dessert but it was a pretty crafty one) but today I'm showing you food.

Now I didn't create the recipe, I'm not that good. The most I can do it add nuts or chocolate chips, if I think that would be good- that's about the extent of recipe creations. I just don't understand the science behind it all enough. So here's the link to Kylee's Kitchen.

Last night I baked... are you ready?
Texas Sheet Cake COOKIES!!!
They are soooooo delicious, but oh so rich!

I already linked the recipe so I'm not going to give you the step by step but here's a few pics of the deliciousness.

Look at that dough, it just looked really yummy in the bowl, I wanted to eat it all there, but I knew there were better things coming.

Close-up! The recipe calls for you to pour the icing on but I used my decorator at the request of a very special 5 year old.

The big picture. I got 2.5 dozen out of the recipe using my Pampered Chef medium cookie scoop.
These are definitely worth a repeat.

That's all for now,
Jo!
