it’s been a busy and fun saturday! i was inspired by my clean kitchen (well, actually house for that matter) this morning, and started a few baking projects. first up i knew we needed buns. the kids and hubs use them for sandwiches all week, and we were right out. so, i mixed two batches. this should last us all week.
while the bun dough was rising, i realized the church cookie exchange was coming up next tuesday. i love attending the cookie exchange! so, i thought i may as well work ahead, and get the cookies done today! my first experience with the rolo cookies was getting them in my exchange one year at the church cookie exchange and hamper. since then, i have tried making them every year at christmas. i had purchased some mini rolo’s last year on clearance, and stuck them in the freezer. the rest of the ingredients i had on hand. i made two batches of the rolo cookies, and found another recipe on the opposite page of my cookbook called snicker doodles. they sounded fun too. so, i mixed up two batches of those as well.
by 2 pm, i was done baking the buns, and both varieties of cookies. clean up anyone? haha. i know. i’m actually amazed that i managed to keep the kitchen as clean as i did. i’m off to get some dishes in the dishwasher, and rinse out the cookie sheets. today i was thankful for my large inventory of cookie sheets. have you ever seen my inventory? i will mention, i used to be a pampered chef consultant. i have 3 large metal cookie sheets (all gifts), 4 bar pans (pampered chef), and two flat stones (pampered chef). they are all dirty today!
Well done Barb! I love my bar pans as well. I had no idea you had 4! I thought 2 was lots. I think your cookies will be a hit!
yeah…if i hadn’t been a consultant, i wouldn’t have that many. lol. one of the flat stones i found at mcc!
the other one came with my kit.
