Baking with Stampin' Up!

Happy Thursday!

You know, I was really skeptical when Stampin' Up! launched these silicon cookie press things.  I was like. . what?  I mean really what next?  Well, I refused to buy them.  I broke down. . .  OMG!   I mean really, look at that?  How cute?  Snowflake Peanut Butter Cookies! 

Ready for the story?

So, I got up Wednesday morning to pack the guys lunches and discovered I was fresh out of "treats" for their pales.  So, what does a good wife/mom do?  I whip out the bag of Peanut Butter Cookie mix and start in baking cookies!  Now, I don't usually use bagged cookie mix but I stumbled across this Peanut Butter Cookie mix and I love Peanut Butter Cookies so I had to try it.  Now I keep a bag or two on hand just-in-case.  So, I got them all divided up on the cookie trays and got out the fork to do the traditional "fork x-ings" and thought. . . Wait!  I have those silly cookie things from Stampin Up!  Let me try them!  So, I got them out and wouldn't you know the snowflake was already stuck on the wood handle. So, I squashed away and what a mess I had.  The cookie stuck to the silicon.  So, me being the quick thinker that I am even if it is 6:15 am. . . I put sugar in a bowl and after I gently knifed the cookie off I sugared the press and started in again.  So, actually dipping the press into the sugar was like re-inking!  LOL!!!! I know. . . only me.  I sugared and pressed all the way until they were all sporting snowflakes!

Now so I don't get emails asking if I fell of the Weight Watchers wagon I have not!  I'm happy to report that 2 cookies is. . . (drum roll here) only 3 PPV's!  That is if you get 30 cookies from one mix.  I used a Pampered Chef small scoop and had 36!  Notice the tense "had"?  Yep, there are only probably 12 left!  The guys loved them!  I even got a few "Awe's" from them. 

Have a great day!
