baking cookies for people i like

Yesterday I made cookies for Jenna and Max because they've each been having a rough month.

Also, I got new baking equipment that I wanted to try out!



I am in love with my COMPLETE SET of measuring cups!! For the past three years I've had random pieces of different sets, and not even all of the sizes.

I made Special K cookies! I've been using this recipe for about 3 years. I got it here.

Here's what you need:
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
3 cups Special K cereal



Combine flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.



Beat butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add egg. Stir in dry ingredients and 1 cup Special K. Except I stirred wet into dry because I accidentally did the dry in a larger bowl before I thought about doing the wet in there. I should also point out that this part is easier with a mixer. That way it actually becomes fluffy. We have one, but I have no idea how to use it. So I cream my butter and sugar by hand!



Coat teaspoons of dough with remaining Special K.



I used one of these little mini scoopy things so they were all the same size.



Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

They will look something like this!



Lovely and very cute and tasty.
