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

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies

I love this time of year making cookies with my kiddos and husband and just enjoying all the Christmas festivities, movies and time together as a family. These cookies might not look super sexy but hey they nasty amazing! They freeze up well too. I usually make the amount below and freeze half.. We usually don't cook up more than 8 cookies at a time. 
You Will Need:
8 oz. Cream Cheese
2 Eggs, room temp
1 Cup Butter, softened
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 2/4 Cups Flour 
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 tbsp Cinnamon
Cream butter and cream cheese, add powdered sugar until combined (little at a time). Add eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and mix to combine. Then add flour, place in fridge to "rest" for 1 hour. Taking a ice cream scoop (medium size) making balls out of the dough. Roll balls in the 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Bake at 375 for 8-10 mins.
