What are you baking now?

Both ice cream and pound cake sound so yummy! I don't have any extra eggs right now. This egg scare has got the neighborhood cleaning me out on a regular basis! Oh well, since I'm still healing from surgery, I guess it's a good thing. I'd be in the kitchen right now otherwise.
I am gonna try those pumpkin cookies this weekend though. They don't take a ton of eggs and they sound yummy!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 cups flour
2 tsps baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 cups (12 oz bag) MILK chocolate chips--not semi sweet
Non stick cooking spray or parchment paper

Heat oven 350, spray cookie sheets with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.

Beat butter until smooth, add white and brown sugar beat until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Then add vanilla and pumpkin. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Slowly add the flour mixture into the batter in thirds. Stir in chips. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned around the edges. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let cookies rest for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

I made half a batch tonight and got about 10 really big cookies out of it. If you make smaller cookies decrease the time, oh and these spread out alot so don't overload the cookie sheet. Enjoy

Thank you!

I just finished kneading and rolling the dough for Cinnamon Rolls that will be served for mornings breakfast, whew, do they look wonderful! Prep time is several hours of work, but the end results: You will never want to buy another store bought brand again. Here is the recipe if anyone is interested in making homemade cinnamon rolls. ENJOY!

Cinnamon rolls

Ingredients
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter = 5 1/2 tsp.
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup white sugar
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs ( does anyone have any extra eggs?)

FILLING:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

GLAZE:
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons half-and-half cream

Directions
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted; let cool until lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the milk mixture. Add the sugar, 3 cups of flour, salt and eggs; stir well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 10x 14 inch rectangle. Lightly brush the far edge with water. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and 3/4 cup brown sugar and sprinkle over the rectangles. Then sprinkle the raisins over the dough. Roll up the dough into a log and seal the seam.
Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces; place the pieces in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, or 12 inch deep dish pizza pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rise overnight.
The next morning, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Take the rolls out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, combine the corn syrup with the vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk in the powdered sugar and enough cream to make a thick glaze; set aside. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and serve warm.

Yea!!! A new cinnamon rolls recipe! And no trans fats!

No offense intended but, although I love the Gumps bread recipe for a lot of things, I didn't care for the dough in cinnamon rolls. My family and friends, however, loved it! To me it is a little too firm a dough for a light pastry. My family and friends liked this. They liked the chewier texture. I'm dying to try this new recipe though (as soon as I heal from surgery anyway). I like a more tender cinnamon roll.

I used half wheat flour and half white all purpose flour. They are so soft and good. Thank you!
