Jelly Bean Sugar Cookies

March 26, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Hi Everyone,

My Sunday was a busy day!!  I stayed in the kitchen and batch cooked all day!!  I cut up all my vegetables, cooked some chicken for salads and sandwiches, cut up my fruit, baked sweet potatoes and butternut squash and I made 5 loaves of bread.   Plus I made a batch of cookies, made dinner and I’m still not done yet.  After I finish writing this post, I am going to whip up a batch of Peanut Butter.  I am almost out of Peanut Butter and I just can’t let that happen.

Before all of my batch cooking I did do my Trader Joe’s run and for all you Cookie Butter fans, it is in stock.  They must have double stocked it because its all over the shelves and displays.  Other than that I really didn’t see anything new.  I’m trying to be a little better on my grocery shopping, being a food blogger makes it hard because I want to make everything, but I do need to control myself.  So I’m trying to use up what I have on hand.  I didn’t do to bad, this cost me exactly $102.00.  It’s enough to get me through the next couple of weeks.  However I will probably run out of meat considering I only bought chicken, but I do have some ground beef, hot dogs and sausage in the freezer.  Here’s a peak at what I got.


Since I was making bread, I needed a pizza stone and the one I had got ruin in the garage.  My Husband has been working on his car and there’s blue paint everywhere, you know the blue thats a color of a Smurf.  Well it got on my stone and I couldn’t get it off, which made for a great excuse to go to Cost Plus World Market.  I had a $10.00 coupon so with that I bought a few goodies.  I found a nice pizza stone that’s rectangle shape, which is perfect for bread and I found Sonoma Jack Pepper Jack wedge cheese for 25 calories a wedge.  Do you know how hard it is to find Light Pepper Jack Cheese?  I was so excited when I saw it!  There’s so much I could use it for!!

Lots of info from me today, but I have to tell you about the new feature on my blog which you may have noticed, it’s call ZipList. You can now print my recipes (no downloading or anything needed, just hit print) and whats even better with Ziplist you add it to your recipe box for future making and add ingredients to your shopping list.  What’s Ziplist?  It’s a free website (two minutes to sign up), where you can make create weekly meals, organize your grocery list, and Sync your lists and recipes from your cell phone.  You can even share your lists with family members.  Plus, if you add an item to your grocery list and there’s a coupon for it, Ziplist will send it to you. I thought it was pretty cool.  I really like the print and saving a recipe part.  It’s seems to be the new thing and lots of other bloggers are getting it.  No harm in checking it out, just go here.

One last thing before I get to the Easter Cookies.  I wanted to share with you the 5 loaves of bread I made today.  It’s a fabulous Seeded Oat Bread and wow is it soft for wheat bread!  I love it so much I ate half a loaf by myself today!  I got the recipe from The Cafe Sucre Farine.  Chris is the owner of the blog and what a wonderful person she is.  She’s sweet and has the most delectable recipes ever.  I look forward to getting her post in my e-mails everyday.  I never know what she’s going to make next, but I can tell you, it’s always so good.  I have made several of her recipes from her Pecan Crisps, Granola Rounds and Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette.  Now I can add the Seeded Oat Bread to my collection.

Now I love the Sunflower Seeded Bread from Trader Joe’s, and I thought nothing would top it, but guess what I just found the ultimate replacement.  It’s way better than the Sunflower Bread!  I love this bread!  I followed the recipe exactly except I didn’t have sesame or poppy seeds so I added caraway seeds, but the rest is the same. It’s such a wonderful, delicious seeded wheat bread and it’s healthy too.  It’s easy to make, no kneading required.  I made the batch Saturday afternoon and put it in the refrigerator to let it rest  over night.  Woke up Sunday morning, took the dough out, shaped it into a loaf, than I let it rise and then I baked sweet, sweet bread.  So easy, anybody could make this bread.  It’s a true Artisan Bread!  You have to check out The Cafe Sucre Farine, here’s the link for the bread.  Oh and be sure to check out all of Chris’s fabulous recipes!!

Ok, now for the yummy cookies.  These cookies are one of my favorite sugar cookies.  The last time I made them it was at Halloween, when I added Candy Corns to them.  Well now there back with an Easter theme.  Their such a cute, versatile little cookie.  I love them, there adorable!

I love this picture!

What I like about these cookies is that they are soft on the inside, a little chewy and have a perfect slight crispness on the outside.  Plus they are quick to make.  There’s no chilling time here.  I made a batch of 35 cookies in less than 20 minutes.  Talk about quick!

Jelly Bean Sugar Cookies
 
Save Print
Prep time
10 mins
Cook time
10 mins
Total time
20 mins
 
Serves: 35 Cookies
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • About 35 jelly beans
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place butter and sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a wooden spoon until combined.
  3. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add flour, and mix until a dough forms.
  5. Scoop out level teaspoons of dough, and roll into balls (chill dough briefly if it becomes too soft to handle). Place balls on baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are firm and cookies are dry to the touch (do not let cookies color), 10 to 12 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven; gently press a jelly bean into center of each cookie (surface of cookies may crack slightly). Cool on sheets 1 minute; transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
I used my hands during the final mix, otherwise they seemed to not stick well. Also, press the jelly bean in lightly, the cookies tend to crack. I used and leveled off a teaspoon to get 35 cookies, otherwise if you make normal size cookies you will probably get about 12 -18 cookies in the batch.

      I was at TJ’s earlier this week and they didn’t have the Cookie Butter, but my store has a ton of it now! If your store doesn’t have it, I’m sure they will get it in soon!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
