kids baking gift bags
An idea for my nieces b-day gift, please!?

I have a niece that is turning seven within the next few days, and I need an idea on what to get her for her gift! She is a sweet, very mature little girl (very smart and very polite). I don’t mind spending a little extra on her (maybe 50-60 bucks or a bunch of inexpensive things thrown together); she is also my husband’s Godchild. I am looking for some neat ideas. Can you please throw some ideas at me that your little girl loves playing with or something that you loved when you were a kid? Thank so much!
P.S. I have thought of an American Girl Doll, easy bake oven, jewelry, nail polish, bean bag, sleeping bag — but she has all these things already! I would greatly appreciate some help!

you could get her an American girl accessory. There are sooo many and if you go on americangirl.com/shop you can browse through. I personally suggest bigger things unlike shoes and fake food because they are very easy to lose, even me at 11 years old it is still hard enough on me to keep it all together and organized. Hope this helps! ~Abby CCGA

Cookie Baking Gift Baskets

Cookie recipes that do not harden after cooling?

I have been trying to bake cookies for a gift basket for the men at my husband’s work. Every recipe I have tried since so far have hardened after cooling the cookies. Am I doing something wrong or does someone have recipes for Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies that stay soft after cooling? The men at his work like soft chewy cookies not hard ones.

I have seen this question a lot. try putting a piece of white bread in the package with the cookies. It will keep them moist. You could also reduce your baking time and cut back on the flour by about 2 tablespoons

Here’s my pb cookie recipe
1/2 cup peanut butter ( I increase to 3/4 cup)
12 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp soda
1 1/4 cup flour

cream butters, sugars and egg blend in vanilla sift in dry ingredients. preheat oven to 375 roll cookies into 1/2 inch balls and smash with a fork. bake 7-9 minutes. these will stay soft if you don’t overbake

Unique Baking Gifts For Christmas

October 22, 2010

unique baking gifts for christmas
What are some unique gifts for my boyfriend for Christmas?

I’m a teenager so of course I’m sort on cash. I’ve got lots of friends and family to get gifts for and only a little bit of money to do so. I’ve been trying to think of some cute and sweet things to get for my boyfriend for christmas.
I was thinking of making him a cd of some love songs or something and a couple piano songs that i play… but that idea kinda sounded cheesey to me. So i don’t know I’d like to give him something like that. I can’t bake at ALL so thats totally out of the question. Is there anything else i buy/ make for him on my limited supply of cash?

Thanks!!
–Ellz

1)A jump rope from the sports training department $10-$20.
2)I don’t see anything wrong with a CD, but maybe some current hits from the radio, an F.M. station, like Bleeding love, Gimme Gimme, David Cook (I hear him on WKYQ in Paducah, KY.) or Christmas Carols. Look on the radio for something Jazzy or the Manhattan Transfer, they are very good.
3)Air Freshener? When I was young, a boyfriend really liked a car freshener to hang on the rear view mirror, Maybe a plug-in for his room, or aerosol can.
4) Dairy Queen treat.
5) A sprig of mistletoe, artificial from a dime store or sometimes hardware store(True Value).
6) Freeze some TV Dinners, make him a couple of plate from your own meals on foam, tin or solo plastic plates. You can include, meat, vegetable, roll, fruit, cake & pie. Meat (roasts, meat loaf, chicken breast, chicken cutlet and instant mashed potatoes, known as entree~with no other thing. Through in packaged gravy mix about 45 cents a pack. (Schilling McCormick). You add only boiling water or milk to the potatoes to make the plate, he adds the gravy himself by adding boiling water.
7) A night light about $2. And a magazine. Men love those too, a lot of times.
