One really nice addition - when I was having lunch today I found a few cranberries in my loaf. Must have fallen in somehow, but they gave it a really nice tang so I might reinvent this as a veggie/dried fruit loaf.Cate Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424872139114718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-7840151220324533852015-12-02T17:43:51.622-05:002015-12-02T17:43:51.622-05:00Definitely did not fly with my husband or eldest d...Definitely did not fly with my husband or eldest daughter either, Mindy.

It's a ho hum kind of dish, but what if I added veggies to it? I have a sudden hankering to pull that recipe out again!<br /><br />And I'm laughing about the snickerdoodles! I learned the same lesson Mary Jane/Virginia did - the cheap cookies just aren't worth the price. I'm glad you found a way to redeem them!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-81688249962405254682015-12-02T09:10:33.159-05:002015-12-02T09:10:33.159-05:00While I might try a veggie loaf, Mary Cate, it wou...While I might try a veggie loaf, Mary Cate, it would definitely not fly with my guys. Love what you did with the cookies, though. Don't you hate it when you buy something and it doesn't live up,to your expectations? I like Ruthy's idea about using them for crust, too.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-33891665067609529512015-12-02T08:50:50.346-05:002015-12-02T08:50:50.346-05:00And then you wonder how a commercial bakery can me...And then you wonder how a commercial bakery can mess up something as simple and delicious as a Snickerdoodle... and the answer is cheap ingredients and over-baking.<br /><br />What an ingenious and fun way to doctor them, though! I've also learned to use bad finds like that to make cookie crumbs for cookie crusts. If you add vanilla or almond and butter and bake the crust, no one ever knows it was a boring, bland snickerdoodle, unworthy of that centurion name!!!<br /><br />We did a wonderful Turkey a la King for Sunday dinner, which I'm posting for tomorrow, but my card for my camera died, the little memory card? So the pictures are on the card but unretrievable.... <br /><br />It was so easy and delicious and even the little Jamison boys loved it! I'd never thought to make it before, so this was a total win.<br /><br />Veggie loaf: I'm kind of in awe of veggie loaf.<br /><br />:)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-44226503793673544842015-12-02T06:57:38.265-05:002015-12-02T06:57:38.265-05:00Wait -- no link to a recipe?

LOL <br /><br />Neat how you thought to doctor the store bought cookies. You are a creative cook the most I would have thought to do was douse them in melted chocolate. :-)Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-63404030579427666542015-12-02T02:01:10.808-05:002015-12-02T02:01:10.808-05:00MMM, it ALL looks delicious!

I can almost smell them! And completely understand about the blah flavor of the storebought. My kids begged for some sugar cookies sprinkled with colored sugar, you know the kids shaped like trees, etc. <br /><br />Of course those containers are HUGE and I thought it would at last a week or so. Um, no. We had them for three weeks before I threw them out. Nothing like home made. :)Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.com
