Happy Weekend!

Happy Weekend!

It is so fun to make something different for weekends.

And egg baskets are so easy.

Egg Baskets

1 egg per basket

green onions

mushrooms

hash browns

sliced ham

cheese we used sharp and mozzarella 

milk

salt & pepper

and anything else you want

Spray a muffin pan with Pam and line with 2 slices of ham. This becomes your baskets. I whipped 1 egg for every basket. So you can make as many as you need, thats why there are no amounts. This is so easy. Then you add a spoon of hash browns ( I use frozen right from the freezer), mushrooms, eggs, cheese and onions. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve on lettuce just to look fancy!

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter softened

Cream together both sugars and the butter until it is soft and fluffy. Then add the milk, eggs and root beer extract. Stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and refrigerate for 1 hour so they can get firm.

 Remove from oven and cool completely and frost with your favorite butter cream frosting.

Then sit down grab your favorite movie ...relax and enjoy your cookies.
