we super stirred the cookie dough :) the dough comes out really good, we love to add in a little extra butter, to make the cookies extra buttery :) i used butter, to grease our new baking pans :) we then made the cookie dough, into cookie balls, and added the dough onto the baking pans :) We had 3 pans full of chocolate chip cookies! :) i put the cookies into the oven to bake! bake! bake! :) oh my! :) Sweet chocolate chip cookies baking, yummy!!! :) as the chocolate chip cookies were baking, we began to prepare, the nice peanut butter cookies :) my all time favorite cookie, is peanut butter :) i was thinking about how good it is, to dunk a peanut butter cookie, into an iced coffee :) that's sweet dunk-a-licious! :) woot! :) we were adding the ingredients into the big bowl, and began to super stir the ingredients :)
Earlier today, my niece Alyssa, mentioned she'd love for us to make, peanut butter and jelly cup cookies :) i wanted to surprise her, by baking a few of the cookies for her :) i got a baking pan, that's mini tiny little muffin baking pan, and put 4 peanut butter cookie dough balls into the baking pans :) The chocolate chip cookies, had finished baking, i brought them out of the oven, i could see the kids wanted to dig into the cookies! :) hehe! :) we shared lots of smiles, in the kitchen today, and also talked about some of our upcoming baking friday adventures we have planned :) i put 2 pan fulls of peanut butter cookies into the oven to bake :) as those cookies were baking, i got my mom's wheat flour dough, she wanted us to make some breadsticks, with the garlic/butter spread :) i said, "Definitely!" :) i used the roller, to flatten the dough, and then put the dough on a nice buttered baking pan, and i melted butter, with the garlic powder, to spread on the dough :) it was a huge sheet of breadsticks :) i knew my mom was gonna be very happy! :) The breadsticks are great, with a salad, or dipping in ranch salad dressing, or having with marinara sauce :)
The peanut butter cookies finished baking, i brought the cookies out of the oven : )for the peanut butter cup shaped cookies i made for my niece Alyssa, i used the end of a rork, to make the impressions into the cookies, while it was soft, so that i could put jelly into the cookies :) i made those, and also the wheat breadsticks with garlic powder/butter, finished baking :) i brought a small table tray out back, and took pictures of the goodies :) Everyone was digging in! :) The kids went swimming again, with their friends :) i thanked the kids for helping bake today, we also cleaned up the kitchen :) The goodies came out great :) We had so much fun baking, and we look forward to our annual 4th of July themed baking friday adventure next friday : )There's many more super fun baking friday adventures to look forward too :)

VERY FUN BAKING FRIDAY TODAY, DEAR BF GANG!!! LOVE THE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY COOKIES!!! So nice to see your ideas for the PB & J Cookies!!! That\'s simply a GREAT IDEA TO MAKE THEM LIKE THAT!!! I would have never thought to do them that way... SUPER COOL, CHRIS!!! Always my FAV time of the week as all you get together and BAKE BAKE BAKE!!! So many learning experiences for the kidz, not to mention the CONFIDENCE you help to instill, dear Chris! Kidz will need that confidence throughout their lives and the memories of cooking with Uncle Chris will live well into adulthood making them all prone to do their own baking dayz traditions...

Long day for me and my eyes are really giving out now, but I wanted to check in dear Chris... I got my lawn mowed today so my allergies are threatening to put me through the ceiling... It\'s just my eyes that won\'t cooperate with the OPEN command... The allergins are pretty strong after mowing,,,

Love to you and Mom and Dad and the ENTIRE BAKING FRIDAY GANG!!! I hope you all have a WONDERFUL EVENING!!! xoxoxo Cj
