Baking anything this weekend?

I'll be baking chocolate chip cookies, chocolate crinkles, muffins and donuts for my small shop tomorrow. :) I found out that using soft flour makes my muffins fluffier and more affordable. I use it even on cookies and some cake recipes.

I realize the weekend is over, but thought I'd share what I made. We were invited to a party at a house on the parade route yesterday. The hostess always has tons of food and drinks. I made homemade cheese danish~ which was a huge hit! I also made a big choc chip cookie and decorated it with Happy Birthday Katelyn as it was also my daughters birthday yesterday. Rasp cinn muffins sound awesome!

I made whole wheat banana bread with chocolate chips and walnuts! It made the whole house smell yummy. Raspberry-cinnamon muffins sound good--I may have to experiment with adding raspberries to some of my recipes.

Nope no baking for me this weekend. It is way too hot to even think about turning the oven on. Luckily I still had some leftover cake my oldest daughter bought at a bake sale. It was a super moist white cake with buttercream frosting.

here are some recipes i am planning to bake from allrecipes.com Cooky Cookies SUBMITTED BY: Barbara Linton PHOTO BY: MARIAM "This is an ultra-short, yet wonderfully chewy and incredibly rich cookie! It is one of the most popular cookies I make, especially with adults (kids are usually not so fond of the nuts)." INGREDIENTS * 1 cup vegetable oil * 1 cup butter, softened * 1 cup white sugar * 1 cup packed brown sugar * 1 egg * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract * 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 cup cornflakes cereal * 1 cup rolled oats * 1 cup chopped walnuts * 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 2. Beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Slowly add oil and beat until oil is well incorporated. Add egg and vanilla, beat to mix. 3. In a small bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. Add to butter mixture and stir just until mixed. Combine corn flakes, oatmeal, nuts and coconut and add to cookie mixture; mix just until combined. 4. Use a cookie scoop to produce consistently sized cookies, but you can drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, if you don't have a scoop. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Since these are so rich, you can chill the individual balls of cookie dough and then freeze them in freezer bags. You can then take them directly from the freezer to the oven, just add a few minutes to the cooking time. ----------------------------------------------- Shortbread Cookies III SUBMITTED BY: Carol "Great for Christmas.
