How To Make Muddy Tire Track Cookies

May 25, 2018

This Muddy Tire Track Cookies tutorial comes with the story of how my youngest son, Gabe, had the most epic show and tell ever. Gabe is currently attending THE best preschool! In fact, it’s the same preschool I went to when I was his age. Carol (the sweet woman who started the preschool) is still there, and she holds a special place in our hearts. The rest of the staff is amazing too. I sent all three of my boys there, and it breaks my heart to see my time with the school coming to an end as Gabe gets ready to go off to kindergarten in the fall. If you live in Gloucester Co., NJ, and have young children… check Richwood Preschool out! You’ll see what I mean.Read More »

The Perfect Roll-Out Sugar Cookies That Hold Their Shape

I have been making sugar cookies a LONG time. I can remember baking and decorating them as thank you gifts to give to my buyers when I sold pigs in 4-H. Now, I don’t want to go far enough back in time to do that math, haha! Let’s just say as an adult, I have been baking them consistently for about 11 years now. After all of those years, no sugar cookie has baked up so perfectly and deliciously as these. I promise, if you follow all of the steps, they will not dissapoint!Read More »

Easy and Delicious Quick Pour Icing

Quick Pour Vanilla Icing

This vanilla icing is my “go-to” icing for just about everything. It’s SO flexible! You can play with the consistency by adding or subtracting the milk to fit your needs. I use it most often for bundt cakes, but it also works perfectly drizzled over bars. I even thicken it a bit for cookies and then top them off with sprinkles for a quick way to add a little something extra. It’s simple and beautiful just as is, but it takes to food coloring well so you can add some color if you’d like.

Aside from it tasting AMAZING, my favorite thing about this icing is how it sets. It doesn’t necessarily harden completely… it still has a nice soft texture when you bite into it, but the outer layer dries perfectly! I’m pretty much saying, once you let it dry, you won’t have a runny mess!Read More »
