Homemade McChicken

M cChicken sandwich, spicy or regular, has always been a household favorite until McDonalds started adding crap to the recipe. I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 years old, things have def changed from then to now. Season it how you wish, I just throw a bunch of spices in and call it good! Does not matter what you use.  You Will Need: Ground Chicken Garlic Powder Onion Powder Paprika  Breadcrumbs  Flour Egg Wash Mayo Buns Lettuce Tomato After you form patties, freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Once frozen, dip in flour, egg then bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown and 165 degrees temp reached inside. 

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

Growing up I loved peanut butter cookies, they were my all time favorite for sure. I cannot really remember a time where we did not have peanut butter cookies made on Christmas or for the Holiday seasons. I do remember they were almost always bagged ones instead of homemade. I prefer to go with the homemade version instead of the store bought crap for many, many reasons. Number one reason is, the extra junk they add to the mix is not needed but they do it because they can! Yuck! These cookies honestly are the best ever! They are crispy on the outside and yet super chewy on the inside!

You Wil Need:

1/2 Cup Organic Butter, room temp
1/2 Cup Organic Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Organic Sugar
1/2 Cup Organic Peanut Butter (or homemade)
1 Organic Pasture-Rasied Egg, room temp
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1 1/3 Cup Organic Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 tsp Real Salt
3/4 tsp Baking Soda (Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 tsp Baking Powder


Cream the sugars and butter together 


Add egg, and vanilla, mix well


Add the peanut butter and mix well 


Looks so pretty


Mix in the dry ingredients


Perfection... 


Cover in plastic cling and place in the fridge for 3 hours minimum 


Using a 1 tbsp size ice cream scoop, scoop the dough and roll into a ball


Place on baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper


Dip a small fork into some sugar


Press down on cookies going in both directions opposite each other, this gives the cookies that classic look


Bake 350 for 9-11 minutes


I took ours down front for the office staff and the guests here at our apartment place! They look amazing!
