Frosting 1 -peanut butter with melted hershey bars (and orange m&ms

Yesterday, I made smashed lemon sugar cookies with lemon frosting.  So today, I made a chocolate version with 3 types of frosting – peanut butter, chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate.  I wanted to frost some with vanilla frosting, but I made too much chocolate frosting, so i just used that.

Smashed lemon sugar cookies with lemon frosting

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Everyone seems to love lemon.  So, I decided to make lemon cookies with lemon frosting.   (I have several other flavors of this recipe – chocolate, regular sugar cookie, gingerbread, oatmeal chocolate chip).   These are fun because after scooping out dough and rolling each one into a ball, I gently smash it with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.  Then I bake and frost them after they are cooled.   These should not bake longer than 12 minutes.  They seem underbaked, but they should be that way.  Pop them in the fridge to cool.  And after frosting then, chill them again.

Scoop out your flour into the measuring cups so you get the right amount.  chill the individual doughs for several hours before baking.  And preheat your oven before baking.

Also, I had something very cool happen today..  while running errands, i was wearing my Bills hat that Rob designed for me and someone yelled “go Bills!”  That was pretty awesome!

Frosted smashed red velvet cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I attempted to make red velvet cookies for today’s treat, but I did not have enough red food color, so I added some blue to try and make them purple velvet.  That did not really work.  But I think they are still good!  I frosted some with a vanilla buttercream and others with a chocolate fudge frosting.

Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from their containers into the measuring cups so you get the right amount.  Also, after scooping and smashing the dough into individual parts, i chilled them  to keep them from spreading too much, but if you don’t have time, that is fine.
