Non-Fat Tuesday: Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

-

Well, it's December already and you know what that means.. planning for next year's diet. Since working out is the last thing on my mind this holiday season, I am going to focus on recipes on Non-Fat Tuesdays for the rest of 2014. If you are continuing a workout routine, way to go and more power to you! Please lend me some motivation in the comments below.

A Snickerdoodle is a cinnamon-sugar cookie that I would say tastes like the cookie version of Cinnamon French Toast. I came up with this recipe when I ran out of ingredients trying to make a cookbook recipe for Snickerdoodles years back. These cookies are deliciously chewy and simple to bake. 

Ingredients
  • 2- Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Shortening
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2- Teaspoons Cream of Tartar
  • 1- Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
Topping
  • 4-Tablespoons White Sugar
  • 4-Tablespoons Cinnamon

Directions

1. Mix eggs, butter, shortening, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
2. Add in Cream of Tartar, baking soda, flour, and salt.
3. Mix topping ingredients in a small bowl. 
4. Roll dough into 2-inch balls and then roll the ball in your cinnamon-sugar dry topping.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until light-golden brown.

Tip: You can substitute butter for shortening, and baking soda for Cream of Tartar but the cookie's consistency may change.

Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy.

You will get something that looks like this: 5. Add ...

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes....

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi...
