MAKING LITTLE BUTTON SHAPED COOKIES!
This recipe comes from www.bakerella.com . Very cute and interesting. Bet you can't eat just one handful! Good Luck.
Coraline Cookies
These bite-size peanut butter buttons are super easy to make and fun to eat. Keep your eyes on them, though. They’ll disappear quickly.
You’ll need one peanut butter cookie mix and the ingredients to make… egg, water, oil. Yep. I said easy. Mix up the cookie dough and roll into small balls. Use the photo as a guide. They should fit right inside the top of a 2-liter soft drink bottle cap.
Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Then, as soon as you remove them, use the same bottle cap to press the cookies down forming a raised outer edge.
And then, this is the fun part. Use a straw and poke four holes in the center of each cookie. Poke and twist and the circles will fill up the straw leaving a vacant hole. Cute, huh.
To make sure you have enough time to press the centers and poke the holes before the cookies cool, bake them in three batches of fifteen cookies. While you are baking the first batch, keep the remaining dough refrigerated until ready to bake. If they are chilled, I think that helps them spread apart less on the baking sheet.
There you have it. Little bitty buttons.
But, what if we covered them in chocolate.
Dark chocolate.
Yes, I think so. I used some dark chocolate candy melts to cover the buttons because the candy melts will harden better than baking chocolate.
Grab a button and dip the top in some of the melted candy. Lift and holding over the bowl, shake quickly from left to right to knock off any excess. When you look at the coated side, the chocolate will look kind of clumpy. To smooth it out, turn the button right side up and swirl your hand in a circular motion. The coating will even out smoothly.
And you’ll end up with a bunch of cute chocolate-covered peanut butter buttons.
Enjoy!
Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason. As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.

This comes from www.thatvillagehouse.blogspot.com . I made something similar a couple years ago, without the pots. It was about 6 feet high. I got the inspiration from a Chirstmas dectoration that we bought at Target. This is a very good idea and make a great enterance to your home. So here's a little something to thing about for next year. Before you know it December will be here again. You could also do something like this for an Easter theme. Enjoy! A Merry Welcome! So here is my first Christmas project for the year!! I saw something similar at our church's Advent celebration & pretty much straight up copied it. I couldn't help it. It was love at first sight! I plan to make a 2nd stack to go on the other side of my door, so I'm not completely done, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. I started with 3 different sized boxes...9, 12 & 14 inch cubes. I used an ice pick to punch holes in each of them so that I could run
