M&M Cookies

M&M cookies are very colorful; and very delicious. These original cookies are delicious,  or you can make them even better by making them a chocolate M&M cookie. I am using the M&M mini milk chocolate baking chips. If you want the recipe for the chocolate M&M cookies, it is on the back of the package. The recipe for the regular kind is: 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup stick butter, softened 1 large egg 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 package (12 oz.) M&M's To start out I creamed my brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and butter together. I then added my a portion of my flour and my baking soda and salt. I mixed it well. Then I added the rest of my flour. Make sure to mix this very slowly!! If you don't you will have flour all over you! I then folded in the M&M's. (Note: you may have some M&M's and flour at the bottom of y

Cookies 'N Cream Donut

These Cookies 'N Cream donuts are the most delicious, fluffy, and moist homemade donuts I have ever made! This  recipe  makes 6 donuts, but I tripled when I made mine. To start out, I crushed my Oreo cookies. Next, in a large bowl, I combined cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, I combined the wet ingredients; cream, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Like in any donut recipe, I added the wet ingredients to the dry. After I combined them together, I added some of my Oreo cookies to my batter. I put my donut batter in a pipping bag without a tip, and pipped my donut batter into my donut pans. And baked them in my oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, for my glaze, I mixed powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. When my donuts were baked and cooled, I dipped them in the glaze and sprinkled the rest of my Oreo cookies on top, and continued doing this until all of my donuts were glazed. My donuts were done!

Tank Cake

My brother requested a tank cake for his birthday, and this one is super easy to make! To start out, I used 2 boxes of cake mix. One of them was Duncan Hines butter golden, and the other was Dark chocolate fudge. I mixed up the boxes in separate bowls, and I dyed the butter golden cake green, and I added black food coloring to the chocolate to make it black. Then I poured my cake batter into a 13x9 inch cake pan, and a 8x8 inch cake pan. I alternated chocolate, yellow, chocolate, yellow, etc.. then marbled it together to make a sort of camouflage pattern. I baked the cakes in the other according to the back of the cake box, but I had to add a little more time, so I think I ended up cooking them for about 45 minutes. Once they were cooled and out of their pans, I prepared my cake board using a cookie sheet lined with tin foil. I would of used a normal cake board, but I didn't have any. Meanwhile, I took my icing, and dyed it green. To get the shade I wanted,

Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

If you thought that normal rice krispie treats were good, than chocolate are even better! All you need is some marshmallows, a little bit of butter, and of course, chocolate rice krispie cereal. The specific ingredients are: - 6 cups Chocolate Rice Krispie Cereal (and if you just want to make regular, use the original kind) - 3 tbsp. butter - 4 cups miniature marshmallows To start out, you'll want to microwave your marshmallows in the microwave. You really want to do this in 30 second intervals and give a little stir in between. One of the reasons why I do this is because the marshmallows may not look melted, but once you give them that stir, you'll see that they really are. Once your marshmallows come out of the microwave, give them another stir and then add them to your cereal immediately. I had to transfer my marshmallow to a larger bowl, because I didn't have enough room in the bowl I melted them in. Stir the mixture all together. For me, I had to add

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Buttermilk biscuits are a delicious breakfast food. Especially with butter and jelly! To start out, you will need: - 1 cup butter, softened - 4 cups four - 2 tbsp. sugar - 4 tsp. baking powder - 1/4 tsp. baking soda - 2 tsp. salt - 1 1/2 cups buttermilk First, I preheated my oven to 450 degrees. Next, I put my 1 cup of butter and my flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt  into a medium to large bowl.  If you had a pastry blender, you can use that, but since I don't I just used my hand and mixed it all together until it looks like fine bread crumbs.  Next, add the buttermilk. Stir it all together until the dough leaves the side of the bowl (the dough will be sticky. I prepared my kneading surface by sprinkling flour on on my counter. Knead your dough lightly for about 10 times, or until your dough starts to actually look like a dough, (smooth and soft).  Roll out your dough to 1/2 inch thick. If you roll it out thin
