Edible Cookie Dough Complete

So i finally made the raw cookie dough that can not make you sick no matter what. It turned out pretty well! I had a few issues but other than that it tastes pretty good! Watch the video for very in depth instructions! The ingredients for this recipe are:


2 cups sifted flour
1 cup firmly packed down brown sugar
1/2 regular white sugar
3/4 cup of melted butter
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
4 tablespoons of milk
1 and 1/2 cups of sprinkles, chocolate chips or anything else you want!
Shape and wrap in saran wrap and leave in the fridge for up to 2 hours to let it harden. Then cut pieces and enjoy!




Here is pictures of the process! I would not recommend using a dough hook like the video said! The dough hook doesn't get deep enough into the right places and leaves dry flour at the bottom. I also found my mixture was too dry. Instead of adding more butter I added more milk. In the end it tasted great. I added chocolate chips to my mixture instead of sprinkles. The longer you leave it in the fridge the more firm it gets. If its too soft it just doesn't work! You can make it into any shape. I personally didn't care and made a log. =>

Almost too Busy for Supper!

It's been very hard to put aside enough time for baking and cooking! After school, sports, homework and piano there is barely enough time for anything! Even though its been hard I have been able to do a bit of cooking. My cooking this past week ranged from a garden salad to breaded chicken stuffed with bacon and cheese. I did cook a meal that consisted of stuffed chicken, asparagus and potato wedges.
When making stuffed chicken you need to cut the chicken horizontally through the side. Stuff the chicken with whatever you want (best choices are cheese and bacon), then push shut and bread if you want. Put the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees in a glass dish for about 45 minutes and make sure to check! No one wants to eat raw meat!
Asparagus is very easy to overdo. No one wants mush. Put the asparagus in a pot with about two inches of water per clump of asparagus. Put on a lid and bring to a boil. Leave boiling for about 2 minutes then shut it off. The asparagus will continue to cook as long as the lid is on. Make sure to check to make sure you don't overdo it! Also don't forget to strain out the water!
To make the potato wedges you can peel the potatoes or not, depends on your preference! Lay aluminum foil on a flat pan and oil it so they don't stick. Add seasoning or cheese. Put in the oven for about 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the slices. You can just throw them in with the chicken. Always check to make sure you don't burn them!
The end result is always the best part!

Here is my completed meal before I got into an eating frenzy!

Easy to Make Caramel Sauce

People will go out and buy expensive caramel sauce mostly because they don't realize how easy it is to make! The caramel we make is called Homemade Salted Caramel. It is delicious and even better when it's warm!

Homemade Salted Caramel

1/4 cup of butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp. of vanilla
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 cup of cream (half and half)

Add all ingredients except for the cream in a pan and melt. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes. At the last minute add the cream. Cool in the fridge to thicken.

This really shows how easy it is to make caramel sauce! To help I have taken pictures of the caramel through out the process, so you know you're doing it right!

 This is all the ingredients added together, except for the cream.
 All the ingredients are melted together.
The mixture is brought to a boil and the cream is added.

This caramel sauce is amazing on cheesecakes, ice cream, and in coffee! Enjoy!
