Uncategorized Leave a comment

I bought a jar of almond butter to bake with.   I thought “how about oatmeal cookies?” 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I also recommend chilling the individual doughs before baking and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs heavy cream or milk
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Blend in almond butter then egg, cream and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients then oats (you may need to use your hands to make sure mixture is fully blended).  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.  Chill doughs for a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 11 to 16 minutes.   Cool completely. 

Store in covered container.⁹

It was stressful, but wonderful watching our sabres win game 6 in Boston and move on (as a Buffalo fan, ending a Boston team’s season is sweet, considering all the pain they have caused us).  Now, we meet up and meet Tampa or Montreal in round 2!

  • 2 1/2 cups worth of chips, m&ms or whatever additions you want.

Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray w pam.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter, crisco, sugar and briwn sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Mix in crushed chips ahoy then m&ms and chips.  Evenly spread into pan.

Victory Monday cookies for week 13

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I stood for the entire second half of the Bills game, something I had not done in a long, long time.  It alleviated some of the Fandom stress for me, and we were playing well while I stood, so I did not sit down until the game ended.   We got a much needed win, so i asked Rob what the victory treats should be and he said triple chip cookies.  They are a chocolate chip cookie dough with an instant vanilla pudding mix added and uses milk chocolate, white chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips.  I was in a bit of a rush and didn’t have time to chill the dough, but they stayed niced and puffy anyways.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  And preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking. 

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed into small squares
  • 1/2 cup butter crisco (regular crisco also works)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1 box vanilla instant pudding mix, 3.4 oz
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter, butter crisco and brown sugar.  Add pudding mix.  Mix in eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Fold in flour.  Blend in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cup dough.  Stagger on cookie sheet.  Bake 10 to 11 minutes, no longer.  Remove from oven.  Tops may look gushy, but cookies will firm up as they cool.  Cool completely.   Store in covered container.
