*****************************************************
The new simply…TM cookies are a delicious treat for home cooks who are looking for simple foods.
Thanks to MyBlogSpark, I had a chance to try out Pillsbury’s simply…TM cookies along with the giveaway package pictured which consists of a cookie jar, a Pillsbury canvas bag and a coupon for free Pillsbury cookies.
I couldn’t get to the store right away to redeem my coupon and when I did, I realized the store I went to didn’t have the type of cookies that my coupon was for. So instead, I bought a pack of the new simply…TM cookies, they chocolate chip.
The new cookies come in two favorite flavors, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter. They are made with wholesome ingredients like flour, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and have zero grams trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives. The cookies are ready to bake so there is no messy preparation, and they are ready in minutes.
I usually prefer to make my own cookies and try out new recipes but I’m not averse to having something easy and quick like refrigerated cookie doughs either. My girls usually use refrigerated doughs when they want a quick and easy treat. So my girls were in charge of cooking these up and even though they should know better by now, they forgot to take photos of the cookies before they devoured them! They did say though that they were delicious. They baked the cookies two ways. One batch was a little undercooked for their dad and little sis who like their cookies gooey and chewy. The second batch was done until it was all the way cooked and slightly crunchy on the edges. That’s how I like my cookies. I agree with their comment. These cookies were delicious and if you didn’t know they were the refrigerated kind, you would absolutely think they were homemade.

I am a terrible housekeeper but I do love to cook so it all evens out in the end. I like to try new recipes that I think my family will like. However, I am not one to follow all recipes to the letter. I tend to tweak and change the recipes based on what I have on hand and how I am feeling at the time. Feel free to share your versions, I just might try it out next time I make the dish again.

How do I keep my cooking simple? Well, I am a single mother raising my daughter with multiple disabilities due to being a victim of shaken baby syndrome (taking her to therapy, doctors appts, and Girl Scouts), I work, I go to college, I do some work in Child abuse prevention and try to relax on top of blogging and entering contests.. lol. I keep it simple by prepping on the weekends. Make ahead and freezing makes my life much more simplified and allows me more quality time with my daughter. Oh and these premade cookies are awesome!
I posted about this on my blog: http://strongmomofaspecialneedsdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/08/mmmm-cookies.html
It seems that the key to simple cooking for me is experience. The more I’ve cooked, the easier it is to know which shortcuts will still yield acceptable results, what I can leave out or substitute, etc.
I keep cooking simple by making sure I have all the ingredients the night before I make it.
The fewer ingredients you need to use, the better is how I cook. I like simplicity.
To keep it simple I cook things that combine.
This week I made rice, which goes with the turkey chili I made, which goes with the fish I’m having for lunch.
I keep tortillas on hand which can be made into turkey chili enchiladas or fish tacos. That’s just one example of how I make sure I don’t have to start fresh every day, I make sure everything I cook can multitask!
I keep my cooking simple by preparing simple dish. For example, I only use salt when I’ll be frying a chicken instead of those messy batter.
I also put your Url in my comment box on my blog! thank you
I keep my cooking simple by gathering all my ingriedients before hand and have my family help out in the kitchen. My sisters are my prep chefs and my dad is the dishwasher! I think cooking with your family is the best and simple pleasure!
Yum, these cookies sound good!
I keep cooking simple by making and using a menu plan, and by having a list of easy go-to recipes.
I keep my cooking simple by having a few go-to pantry meals that I always have ingredients on hand for! Spaghetti is the obvious one, but chicken enchiladas (with canned chicken) and skillet rice dishes are easy to dress up!
The new Pillsbury cookies sound delicious, as always.
I keep my cooking simple by using only organic ingredients. They are better for you and my meals are always fresh.
