LIME COOLER COOKIES

This is the other new cookie I made for the husband's birthday.

I messed these up ... I obviously don't know how to follow directions.

They came out okay I guess...

Not my favorite; however, if I had made them correctly they would have been great.

Ingredients:

3 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened

1 cup of powdered sugar, plus a little more for rolling

1 egg yolk

1/4 cup of fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon of lime zest

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder & salt.

In a large bowl, cream the butter & 1 cup of powdered sugar.

(This is where I messed up, I accidentally added a cup of regular

sugar instead of the powdered sugar... a dum dum move)

Juice your lime until you get enough for your 1/4 cup.

Now mix together the egg yolk, lime juice and zest.

Add the dry ingredients, mix on low.
The dough should be crumbly.

Roll the dough into balls and place on a lined baking sheet.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Move the cookies to a wire rack.
Take the remaining powdered sugar & cover the cookies with the sugar
while they are still warm.

BIRTHDAY COOKIES

So, my husband's birthday was this week.

YAY, (happy birthday booger face)

I asked him what kind of B-day delicatessen he wanted... a cake, cupcakes,

lemon bars?

He wanted a cookie buffet. 

If I had a full day off I would have made him 29 batches of cookies, (he just turned 29)

however I had to work so I could only make 4 different kinds.

Two of which I have previously blogged about, and two that I shall blog about now.

The first cookie I shall Blog about is the no bake cookie.

Surprisingly I have never made these before, but have

eaten so many of them.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter

2 cups of sugar

1/4 cup of coca powder

1/2 cup of milk 

3 cups of oatmeal

1/2 cup of peanut butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

Stir the butter, sugar, cocoa powder & milk together in a saucepan.

Boil for about 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat & add the oats, peanut butter & vanilla.

Mix thoroughly.

Drop a spoonful onto waxed paper & allow to cool and harden.

I had to put mine in the fridge, mainly because I am very impatient. 

I personally think these cookies would be better without the oats & with Rice Krispies instead.
CJ tells me then it would be a completely different cookie, I'm okay with that.
