Another Edition of Treat Tuesday!

So I don't really have much to say about today's treat other than that it's delicious. In fact so delicious that that's how it got it's name. Lady's and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I present to you the famous, the one and only, Delicious Cookies!

 

Delicious Cookies

1 Cup Butter
1 Cup Oil (don't use olive oil)
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 Egg
2 Tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Flour (I always use whole wheat)
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Cream of Tarter
1 Cup Quick Oats
1 oz. Package of Chocolate Chips

Blend butter and oil. Cream in sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients and then add to creamed mixture. Stir in oatmeal and chocolate chips. Drop on lightly greased baking sheer. Bake at 350 degrees Ferinheight for 12 minutes or until done. Makes about 6 dozen.

 I think the only down side to these cookies, is that the dough doesn't taste very good. Although, looking at how much cookie dough I usually eat, maybe that's not a bad thing. The dough just isn't that good because the quick oats need to cook in the oven for them to taste good, if you know what I mean.

My Attempt at Jewelery Making

 So the other day I was feeling crafty and thought I'd do a bit of jewelery making. I'm not really that big into beading, I mean I like to do it, I'm just not very good at at. Anyways,here is what I came up with.

  These bracelets are super easy to make and they are going to be perfect for summer! All it is, is about 5 different strands of twine, all cut to roughly about the same size, a different bead put on each strand and then tied. I used this method of tying them, so that they could adjust.

 I made some with colored twine, to switch it up and give it a more "summery" feel.

 I then also made a set a little bigger as an anklet.

 After I had made enough of those, I tried something a little different. I used the same knot, but instead of putting a bead on the string, I strung the twine  it through a flower charm.

 I loved the results!

Bracelets are so fun and can totally add to an outfit. And with how easy it is to make them, there is no excuse for not having any!

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I can't believe how this week has flown by! And I don't mean that in a good way, we all ended up sick, and our business (more on that another time!) has been getting busier and busier as summer approaches! Thankfully though, I had a bit of time this morning to make these little gems, Soft Banana Cookies. Is there a better combination than banana and chocolate? I guess chocolate makes anything better.

Soft Banana Cookies

2/3 Cup Butter
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tsp. Vanilla
2 1/4 Cup Flour
2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Cup Mashed Banana
1 Cup Chocolate Chips

Cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, mixing well. Stir in bananas and chocolate chips. Drop by with a spoon onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes at 400 degrees Ferinheight.

Yumm! Look at all that chocolaty goodness! And they're great for using up ripe banana's too!
