    Sparkle Cookies



    These are one of the easiest cookies that I make, and they are always a hit. They start with a pouch of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix, and you dress them up with colored sugar, nonpareils, or sprinkles.  I started adding a teaspoon of extract to the dough, vanilla, sometimes lemon, but anything will work.


    I highly recommend using a scoop to get uniform cookies. It also allows you to handle them less and keeps them a better texture.  
     

    You can change up the colors depending on the occasion and turbinado (raw) sugar is always a great choice.  Scoop the cookie, drop it into the colored sugar and roll it around until it's as coated as you like.


    Place the coated dough balls onto parchment lined sheets, I like to do 8 on each.  The sugar gives them a nice sparkly, crunchy exterior and the cookie is nice and soft inside.  


    Some I deliberately overbake and those I dip into a glass of milk. These are especially fun to make with kids and they are one of the first ones to disappear off of my cookie trays.

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

    I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

    Stuffed Waffles

    I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

    Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
