The Big Cookie Project: Week 42

I didn't actually make a cookie this week, I made a bread. But since the name of the bread had a cookie in it, I decided it would count. :) It was very good, moist and addicting. From the picture you can see it made one big loaf (9"x5") and two small loaves. I was going to give away all the loaves, but we couldn't help ourselves and dug in to one of the small loaves.

SNICKERDOODLE BREAD

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup sour cream

1 1/2 cup cinnamon chips ***I left them out, bread was great without it***

2 Tablespoons flour ***To cover chips, left this out as well since I didn't use the cinnamon chips***

Topping:

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

1. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour and baking powder in a bowl. In a mixer, cream butter nad 2 cups sugar, salt and cinnamon until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla nd sour cream and mix until combined. Coat cinnamon chips with 2 Tablespoons flour and stir in to batter.

2. Spoon batter into four to five greased mini loafs or 2 large loaf pans. Don't fill more than 2/3 full. Combine 2 Tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle over top of batter in the pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes for small loafs and 60 to 70 minutes for the large loafs. Done when a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool.

If you've ever had Amish Friendship Bread, this is very similar. The good thing about this is that it only fixes two loaves, instead of a million plus starters like the Amish Friendship Bread.

Got this recipe from: http://barbarabakes.com

This has nothing to do with desserts, just thought I'd share...

I found a recipe for Pizza Dip, yes you read right, PIZZA DIP! I fixed it the Super Bowl and it was super tasty. This is on my list for making again.

I won't give you the long typed out recipe, so here's a link: http://www.closetcooking.com/2011/03/pizza-dip.html

Happy Baking and have fun pizza dipping!
