had a crazy busy day today...started early...
Ross took our grandson to work with him and
I picked up the other 4 grandgirls and came back to
the farm to make cookies...
made some Chocolate Chip Squares (their favorite)
and we tried a new recipe...Vernor's Cookies...now for you
folks that aren't from Michigan...VERNOR'S is a ginger ale
made here in Michigan since 1866...it tastes wonderful...and if you have
ever had a cold and you're from this part of the country, you have
probably been given warm Vernor's as medicine at some point
in your life.
this recipe called for a Boxed White Cake Mix....well since we
make most everything from scratch....here is that recipe first...
White Cake Mix : from a great site....chickensintheroad.com
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 dry milk or powdered buttermilk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
mix it all together and set aside......
Vernor's Cookies : from thecookieadaychallenge.com
1 white cake mix
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1/3 cup Vernor's
mix the softened butter, eggs and Vernor's together...blend that into the cake mix....drop on greased cookie sheet in a 375 degree over for about 13 - 15 minutes....
i didn't grease my pans and so the first batch stuck really bad.....the second batch
came out better.....then you make a Vernor's drizzle to go on top....
Vernors Drizzle :
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp Vernor's
mix it together and drizzle baby!!!!
the grandkids love watching every step of making cookies, so they all
climb up on the kitchen counter to see me mixing everything....too funny!!!
for lunch we made....Mac & Cheese and Ham/Turkey/Cheese roll ups
returned the Super Heroes to their home about 2pm....
had a bunch of stuff to do before Christmas Eve Service
tonight at church....then it started to SNOW....it was very
pretty to watch, but then Ross called and said that the roads
were treacherous....and they were....it took me over 25 minutes
to make the normal 7 minutes drive to church....
the Service was GREAT....JESUS is the Reason for the Season!!!
Merry Christmas EVE!!!
Pleasant Dreams!!!
