National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

Today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!....True story, I didn't make this up.  Chocolate chip cookies have got to be one of our all-time favorite cookies.  What goes better with an ice cold glass of milk than a chocolate chip cookie?  No much, as far as I'm concerned.  So when Krusteaz offered to send me a box of their new Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie mix to try out, how could I say no?  AND, the best part, they've also offered to send one lucky reader a giveaway package as well!  Contained in the package will be a box of Krusteaz's Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie mix and three coupons for free Krusteaz products.

The mix is super easy.  Just add butter and one egg and mix with a spoon and then your hands.  Bake and eat while warm!

If you are a U.S. citizen and would like to enter, just leave a comment telling me what you think is Milk's favorite cookie....Good Luck!  Winner will be picked Friday, May 23rd.

Citrus Blueberry Loaf!

I enjoy blueberries.  Blueberry muffins, pies, fresh out of the carton and in this Krusteaz loaf mix with some orange zest added to the mix.  It's fresh and light tasting and I think would be perfect for a Sunday morning brunch.  Maybe even to begin Easter Sunday paired with a cup of tea or steaming hot coffee.   

Prep time on this is about 5 minutes.  Easy.  

Ingredients

1 package Krusteaz Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix (1 pouch muffin mix and 1 can blueberries)

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest

Instructions

• Lightly grease or spray 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

• Drain and rinse blueberries; gently fold into batter.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan.

Ham and Cheese Beer Bread Muffins for St. Patrick's Day

I seem to be on a bit of a Krusteaz kick lately.  It's so easy to bake great snacks, desserts, etc. with the ready to mix box and sometimes, that's all I have time for.  When I discovered the Ham and Cheese Beer Bread Muffin recipe, I thought it would be perfect to incorporate it in to a St. Patrick's Day party idea.  Beer, afterall, seems to be what St. Patrick's Day is centered around.....at least in these parts.

My New Best Friend....Krusteaz Molten Deep Dish Cookies & Giveaway

Krusteaz is something you will find in my pantry as a staple.  I use their pancake/waffle mix year round, I look forward to autumn when their seasonal spiced pumpkin bread/muffin mix, which I LOVE.  So when I was contacted by Krusteaz to inquire whether or not I wanted to try out their new line of Deep Dish Cookies, I of course, said yes.  I know many of you are in the same boat as I am; back to school, classroom parties and special treats needed for events and you may want to try something a little different from the usual cupcake or cookie recipe you bake.  

Krusteaz sent out three different varieties of their new Deep Dish Cookies:  Sugar Cookie with a chocolate center, Chocolate Cookie with a caramel center and the one I chose to bake first, Classic Cookie with a chocolate center.

All that's required to complete the recipe is one stick of butter and one egg.  Easy.  Another bonus.

Mix the box mix with the egg and melted butter to form the cookie dough batter.

Spoon a tablespoon of dough into a ball.

Flatten out into a non-stick sprayed muffin tin.

Snip the chocolate package that's contained in the box and squeeze out about a teaspoon on top of the dough.

Flatten out another tablespoon size dough ball and place on top of the chocolate and press gently to seal the edges.

Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Pop out of the tin.

And you will thoroughly enjoy these deep dish cookies.  Oh my.  The Classic totally tastes like a chocolate chip cookie.....I loved it with a tall glass of ice cold milk.

Krusteaz would love for one of you to WIN the trio yourself!!  All you need to do to enter is leave a comment in the comment section below and I'll pick a winner via Random.org next Friday!  Good Luck!!
