Snowball Cookies - xamountofwords

http://www.xamountofwords.com/2015/01/snowball-cookies.html

I love shortbread cookies. Generally, I'm not really a fan of buying packaged cookies from the store, mostly due to me loving to bake them myself. Not to mention, they're kind of expensive. While stumbling through the black hole that is Pinterest, I came across this recipe from Cooking Classy. For snowball cookies. They seemed easy enough to make so I tried it. I almost wish I hadn't because they are almost too good. (If that's such a thing? I might have made a bit of a mess with the powdered sugar.

Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies. My mom loves all things raspberry. I decided to make her these for her birthday. They were a hit. She absolutely loved them. I would definitely make these again. Maybe I'd get adventurous and try it with different jams. 2 cups 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (don't pack flour in when measuring). 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced into 1 Tbsp pieces. 2/3 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 tsp almond extract. 1/2 cup raspberry jam, seedless if preferred. 2 - 4 tsp water.

Cookie Brownies - xamountofwords

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were wandering around our local grocery store looking for snacks when this caught our eye. The mix was under two dollars, so I figured why not try it. They were pretty easy to make and I don't see why they couldn't be made from scratch. All you would need is brownie batter and cookie dough. The box suggested a 8x8 pan or a cupcake pan but I chose to use my Baker's Secret 8 well mini loaf pan. You Might Also Like. A home based baking business in Washington state.

These are another Pinterest inspired treat. Normally, I have some variation of a sandwich involving peanut butter for lunch. It's easy for work and I love peanut butter. Win win. It's fine for there but when I'm home, I have the time and opportunity to be creative with lunch. I made them twice this week for lunch and will again. Perhaps next time I'll make full sized ones from the tortilla. I might have made a bit of a mess with the powdered sugar. 1 cup butter, softened. 2/3 cup powdered sugar. In the b...
