Smokeydoke and Janet....OMGosh, looks wonderful!
Today I'm making lemon bars (squares).
A few weeks back, this adorable little girl came to our door. She was fundraising for her Soft Ball team and would we like to buy some cookie dough, HUH?
I'd never heard of this before, her older teenaged sister was with her and explained that it's pre-portioned frozen dough that you just toss in the oven frozen and bake. HMMM
She showed me the list of varieties available and I spied Snickerdoodles, I've never had a Snickerdoodle before, ok, I'm in.
Yesterday evening, after supper, our door bell rang... "who's THAT?!" DH yells from the den...
Our Cookies!

I had just turned the oven off not long before (we had Meatloaf and roasted Potatoes btw) so I turned it right back on.

I like the convenience of the take-n-bake from frozen concept, but BOY HOWDY! Those were really sweet.
DH kept asking me, "what's this called again?" He had never had a Snickerdoodle either.
I think I might be baking these all off and taking them next door, there's ALOT
Once upon a time there was a department store in Boston called Jordan Marsh. It eventually got swallowed up by Macys and disappeared. In its hay day, its bakery made the most extraordinary blueberry muffins. They were famous in New England and people came from miles around. When my mom worked in Boston, she would sometimes bring home a box for us. Always a special treat.
I searched and found the recipe online. Actually I found several versions so I compared them and found one that was the common denominator.
I made those muffins today.
One of the versions of the recipe recommended using paper cupcake liners as the blueberries made the muffins stick to the pan. I chose not to do that because everyone knows page liners are for cupcakes, not muffins. Besides, the muffin tin was very slippery. BIG MISTAKE! I ended up with six muffin tops and six muffin bottoms.
Still, they were delicious and I do sometimes learn from my mistakes so look forward to six whole muffins next time.
Thank you so much Andy. My granddaughter will be coming down at the end of the month from Maine. Guess what I am going to have baked fresh from the oven when she arrives. I will make sure she has the recipe goes back with her. But first I will have to make a test batch to make sure they will please her.
Addie, the recipe makes a dozen regular-sized muffins (one tin) or six of the big ones (one tin).
