Holy Weekend, Batman!

 

Well, we have been quite busy! Once a month, I lead worship at our church and this was my weekend! Between preparing for that, helping my grandma clean out her garage (in which DH & I have stored a TON of crap), and then celebrating her birthday as well, we did find time to take our daughter to a local Halloween Festival. She won 1st place in her age group!

 

Isn't she cute?!

 

I had really wanted to make this M&M Cookie Pie for my grandma's birthday but time just did not allow it. Since I already had all of the ingredients, I decided I needed to just make it tonight! Funny I said needed as our preacher spoke on wants and

 

Remember, I'm just a beginner in the kitchen and I didn't have a pie pan, so I used one of those non-stick 8x8 cake pans. Another simple recipe, it only has seven ingredients, mixed together in pairs.

 

 

M&M Cookie Cake

 

Just over 1 cup of All Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup butter softened

(I had less than 1/2 cup of stick butter so I used the Blue Bonnet I had)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Cup M&Ms

 

Here are the directions given on Adventures in My Kitchen's blog:

Cream butter and sugar. Add in egg and extract and blend. The combine flour and baking soda- mix until completely incorporated. Fold in the M&M's.

 

Mommy's Little Helper!

 

Dump into a greased 9.5" pie pan and bake for 25-30 mins. You know the drill, when a toothpick/ridiculously small pairing knife comes out clean it's donzo.
Cool, cut into cookie pie slices and enjoy!

 

Again, I didn't have a pie pan so I just used the cake pan I had.

 

 



 

 

Look at all that yummmmmy goodness!


I'm new to this whole blogging thing and I'm not exceptionally creative when it comes to the kitchen so I'll probably just blog about my Pinterest attempts!

Hope you had a great weekend!
