Cinnabon Bakery Mix Cinnamon Strudel

ok so these things were AMAZING however i take no responsibility in making them i just followed the simple instructions on the box.  Normally i'm not one for making baked things out of a box but we needed something quick and found them at Sam's Club.  It makes 18 Muffins and seriously its so easy.  I would not even put this up here but i had to because they turned out so BEAUTIFUL! the simple trick i used was i put the icing in a pastry bag with a #4 tip to put the icing on.  It just makes it look so much more home made and finished!

The Best Oatmeal Cookies

I found this recipe from Sugar Cooking Blog who actually found the recipe from Journey to Crunchville Blog and it was super easy.  I made a slight variation of sifting the dry ingredients (just a habit of mine) i just think it makes everything taste a little lighter :)  my recipe made a total of 29 small cookies and 10 large cookies.  also a large pet peeve of mine is when cookies become thin and crispy but these are light and fluffy!! LOVE IT! 

Recipe:1 c Butter, room temp                          1 1/2 c Flour

1 c Brown Sugar                                   1 tsp Salt

3/4 c White Sugar                                 1 tsp Baking Soda

2 Eggs, well beaten                               2 tsp Cinnamon

1 Tbsp Vanilla                                       1/2 tsp Ginger

3 c Oatmeal (not Instant)                     1/2 tsp Nutmeg 

1 c Raisins

To prep: The key is to soak the raisins. This makes all the difference in the world. Beat eggs and vanilla together and then add the raisins, stir. Soak for an hour or two. I just walked by a few times and stirred it while I waited.

Directions:

Preheat to 350 F

Cream butter and sugars with mixer. In a seperate bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinammon, ginger & nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients until well blended. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and mix well. Now add in the egg & raisin mixture (I used my hands). Then add oatmeal and chocolate chips/nuts and combine well. Form into balls on cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2-5 minutes or until firm enough to transfer to wire rack.

Made about 2 1/2 dozen cookies for me and I made them pretty big. You could get 4 dozen if you make them small.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookie EVER!

I've been a long fan of the Nestle Toll House Recipe and don't get me wrong it is still a GREAT fall back cookie recipe but if your up to trying something new this is an incredible recipe and still just as easy as the Nestle Recipe. However...and this is truly the only downside...the cookie dough does not taste super great BUT trust me the cookie turns out AMAZING! heres the recipe!

Ingredients

• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
