a weekend of baking

SO! This Saturday morning I made Raspberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Buns! They are soooo very yummy! My only note is to try and swirl the raspberry jam farther down into the bun... it was really only at the top... What a great way to start a Saturday morning :o)

Next up – Sunday Night...
Oatmeal Coconut Cookies = mega yum as well

Now these baby's would have been a breeze to make I'm sure of it... but my butter wasn't as soft as I thought it was... It was sitting on the counter for a few hours and I tested it... thought it was 'room temperature' CLEARLY it was not and I had an issue with creaming cold butter and sugar with my little hand mixer... it got all stuck... EVEN at one point Chris yelled through my hissy fit
"It's okay sweetie you don't have to make them" - as I yell back "YES I DO"... it just took a little extra care and the butter and sugar eventually creamed :o)
I also realized making cookies... cooking dinner... and preparing an apple crisp at the same time in my kitchen... was not wise and I cannot multitask that much!
35 minutes in my chicken portabello mushroom thingers should have been finished... when the timer went off... ooo I cut into then and RAW CHICKEN the oven turn off! BAH.
Anyway! It all worked out - apple crisp turned out - dinner turned out - cookies complete!
I like the photo's when people stack the cookies... I had to try it!
Until Next Time –
