Hello! Do you know what today is? Besides the last day of summer? I’ll give you a hint….it is a food holiday. For the answer, head on over to Food Stories.
Food stories is a terrific blog that not only has great recipes and stories, there is a food holiday calendar too! That’s where I am today and I am sharing one of my food stories. If you have a moment, please leave me a comment over there so that I know that I didn’t lose you along the way. Thank you for checking out my story.
On some weekends when we have what seems like a million things going on, I will bake with a prepared sugar cookie mix to save some time. With Father’s Day and my daughter’s graduation this weekend, I made these cookies using the following ingredients:
1 bag prepared sugar cookie mix
1 stick butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 C white chocolate chips
1/2 C dried cranberries
1/3 c chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and mix the cookie mix and butter and egg together in a bowl. When combined well, add the chips, cranberries and pecans.
