Soft and Sweet Sugar Cookie Bars

I'm back from the nature woods and camping!  Whew!  My husband dearly loves to camp and loves going to Whitewater each year.  I had never been camping until I met him.  Always an adventure!  This year was a little rough, with some heavy rains last night and the bugs were pretty bad.  I don't like bugs.  But I still enjoyed our time away and hiking and just talking with him. 
But now I'm back to life and M will be returning to work again in the morning.  Booo :(   June is still his busy month, so he has one more week of very busy long days, not home in time for dinner kind of long days.  Oh well.  That's why we try to sneak away camping on one of his comp days during June - just so we can see each other.
Anyways, right before we left, I was experimenting in the kitchen tried out these sugar cookie bars.  Love them!  As I've mentioned before, I love a good sugar cookie.  The softer and fatter the better.  And these really fit the bill.  They are great if you have a time crunch because they all go in one pan and then you are done - no waiting around for cookie sheets to go in and out of the oven.  Win in my book!

Soft and Sweet Sugar Cookies
Recipe adapted from I Heart Naptime
Ingrediants:
  • 1    teaspoon    baking powder 
  • 1    teaspoon    vanilla extract 
  • 1    egg white
  • 1    egg 
  • 2 1/2    cups    flour 
  • 1/2    teaspoon    salt 
  • 3/4    cup    sugar 
  • 1/4    cup    powdered sugar 
  • 1/2    cup    butter ( softened ) 
  • 1/4    cup    sour cream
Frosting
  • 3    cups    powdered sugar 
  • 3    tablespoon    heavy cream 
  • 1/2  cup    butter ( softened ) 
  • 1/2    teaspoon    vanilla extract 
Directions:
Using a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugars and mix until fluffy (about 3 min). Add in the vanilla, egg, egg white, and sour cream and mix until combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix well.
Place mixture in a greased 8x11 glass pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until lightly browned. Be careful not to over bake!



Let the cookie bar cool completely.  Then mix up the frosting (and color if desired).  Spread frosting and cut into bars.  I found my 8x11 pan made about 20 bars.  If you use a 9x13 glass pan instead, your cookie bar will be a little thinner, but you can obviously cut more of them.


Look at this thick and white and chewy cookie bar - soooo good!  Enjoy!

Save me Some Saturday #5

Wheeee!  The weekend is finally here. Yay!
I'm getting ready to go on an adventure with my husband tomorrow (aka - camping trip).  This will be our third year of going camping.  I'm not really that much of an outdoor girl, but I do like our quiet time and having M's full attention, especially during his busy busy busy June schedule.
Of course, going camping means lots of prep work and grocery shopping.  Here's some coupons to help you save at the grocery store.

What are your favorite snacky-foods? Is it too early for a snack? M&M's anyone? Here are some snacks to tell your readers about:

Homemade Pizza

Without a doubt, M's favorite food of all time is pizza.  I think before we were married, he probably at pizza a few times a week in one form or another.  I am also a big fan of pizza (although I am a plain cheese girl).  Pizza has become part of our regular dinner rotation appearing every week, almost always on Friday nights, which is when M would have pizza night as a kid.
Often times, I will make pizza rolls for us (recipe coming soon!).  One night though, I wanted to be a bit different (or was feeling lazy) and decided to make homemade pizza on the pizza stone instead.  I was really impressed with myself and pleased with how it turned out (minus the setting off the fire alarm when warming up the stone!  Note to self, make sure the stone is 100% cleaned off and there is not a crumb on it before putting it in the oven to warm up)
Enjoy this recipe for homemade pizza!

Homemade Pizza
Recipe Adapted from Annie's Eats

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup room temperature water
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (or whatever type you like best)
  • Toppings as desired
Directions:
Put the warm water in a 2 cup glass measuring cup and sprinkle the yeast over the top.  In a stand mixer, combine the flour and salt.  Add in the room temperature water to the glass measuring cup.  Turn on the mixer to low speed and slowly add in the water/yeast mixture and olive oil.  Switch to dough hook once the mixture is combined and knead until smooth (about five minutes).  Transfer to a lightly oiled boil and cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Preheat over to 500 degrees and put in pizza stone to warm for 30 minutes.
Press down dough and deflate it.  Divide dough into to equal pieces and form each into a ball.  You may freeze one ball if only making one pizza.  
Carefully shape the dough on the pizza stone (don't burn yourself).  Top as desired.
Bake until the crust is a golden brown, and cheese is bubbling - 8-12 minutes.
