Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite Holiday cookies! Daniel has a found love for my chocolate chip cookies, and loves peanut butter so I decided to merge the two, and give him a little protein in the cookies; featuring my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!! I do not really have much to say about these, expect if you want to make them a bit more healthier (I mean who are we kidding cookies are cookies, they are not meant to be health but you can use homemade peanut butter instead of store bought and you can use soy-free dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. This dough is safe to eat raw! 
You Will Need:
1 Cup Butter, (softened)
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs, room temp
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 1/4 Cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder (Bob's Red Mill)
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Cups Chocolate Chips 
1 Cup Peanut Butter 
In your stand mixer, or a deep bowl, attached with a the paddle attachment (I am using my hand mixer), cream the sugar and butter together. 
Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla, mix together
Add you dry ingredients in and mix together, until incorporated
Looking GOOD!!
Fold in the chocolate chips
Scoop even amounts on a baking sheet; I always use my small ice cream scoop so it makes even amounts
You can either cook the cookies, at 350 for 9-12 minutes, take out cook 5 minutes, and then cook completely on a cooling rack or...
These are frozen, I LOVE making a bunch of these in minis, and freezing them for later (Daniel always steals the cookie dough and eats it raw, that is why I always use pasture raised eggs).
