Baking Detour: Homemade Thin Mints!

Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 4:11pm by Melissa Leave a Comment

This looks like it’s going to become a regular feature. Instead of spending my daughter’s nap finishing Rite Aid, I’ve been all over Pinterest and the web looking at all sorts of oddities. Oh, and I still need to pull together my Handpicked post on my nifty rain barrel. Yep, I’m on it…sorta. So while jumping from subject to subject, I fell into the baking gutter. I desperately want cookies, or more specifically, GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. If you were here a few months ago, you’ll recall that I ate them morning, noon, and night. Actually, they were breakfast, lunch, and dinner, if you must know. So here I am….Girl Scout wishing the day away when it hits me ~ *Google them, you fool.* Yep, I’m making my OWN thin mints, thanks to Katrina and her awesome kitchen skills. Oh, and this is N-O-T-H-I-N-G. She makes Cookie Dough Magic Shell and her very own Cheez-Its…which, by the way, I just spent the last hour consuming more of the boxed variety than anyone ever should to compensate for the lack of cookies. :/

Homemade Thin Mints

Source: Adapted from Handle the Heat, Makes 30-40 cookies

Chocolate Wafers:

· 8 ounces butter, room temperature

· 1 cup powdered sugar

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

· 3/4 teaspoon salt

· 1 1/2 cups cake flour (all-purpose would work just fine)

Chocolate Peppermint Coating:

· 1 package mint dark chocolate candy melts

-or-

· 1 pound good quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

· peppermint extract to taste (about 1 teaspoon)

Cookie dough: In a mixer cream the butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and continue to cream, scraping the sides of the bowl a couple times if necessary. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix until the cocoa powder is integrated and the batter is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick frosting. Add the flour and mix just until the batter is no longer dusty looking but still a bit crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a clean counter, gather it into a ball, and knead it together into a nice, smooth mass. Divide the dough in 2, flatten into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 15 minutes.Rollout and bake: Preheat oven to 350. Roll dough out really thin, about 1/8-inch. These are called thin mints after all. You can either roll it out between two sheets of plastic, or dust your counter and rolling pin with a bit of flour and do it that way. If the dough is too firm to roll you can microwave it for 5 seconds. Cut out cookies and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the peppermint coating: Meanwhile, prepare your chocolate coating. Using a double boiler, slowly melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally until it is glossy and smooth. You can add 1 tablespoon of shortening if your chocolate is too thick. Alternatively, use a microwave in short 15-20 second bursts to melt the chocolate. Stir in the peppermint extract if you don’t have the mint candy melts.

Finishing the cookies: Using a fork gently drop the cookies one at a time into the chocolate coating. Flip to coat all sides. Lift the cookie out of the chocolate with the fork and bang the fork on the side of the pan to drain any extra chocolate off the cookie. You are after a thin, even coating of chocolate. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and repeat for the rest of the cookies. Place the cookies in the refrigerator or freezer to set.

Thanks, In Katrina’s Kitchen! You’re fabulous!

Freebies & Cheapies at Walgreens 7/10-7/16!

Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 1:44pm by Melissa Leave a Comment

As always, this is the full list of items under $1.00 and all the Register Rewards deals. Now, here’s my updated blurb (for 7/10) about the Walk with Walgreens program because I want to remind you about the coupons that you COULD be getting just by logging in here and there. And oh, do I ever mean here and there….3 times in 2ish months is my average. If you aren’t familiar with the Walk with Walgreens program, check out these earlier posts HERE and HERE.

These are new for me this week:

Possible (somewhat current) Walk with Walgreens Coupons:
$1.00/1 Sprite Zero 12pk
$1.00/1 Bayer Aspirin 50ct+
$1.00/1 Neutrogena Ultra Sheer
$1.00/1 One A Day Vitamins 60ct
$0.50/1 Extra Gum Single Pack
$1.00/1 Caress Body Wash Daily Silk
$1.00/1 Sprite Zero 12pk (got one previously too)
$1.00/1 Citracal Product
$1.00/2 Dasani 20oz or 1L
$0.50/1 Sprite Zero 20oz

There may be more of these. Allow me to reiterate, I am NOT active on that site as much as I could be. These also have short expirations, so make sure you plan to use them if you’re going to print. I’ve had them sitting in my account for some time, so you may want to risk banking them for a deal.

Also, I mentioned in an earlier post that there was supposed to a coupon for $1.00/1 Degree as well. I never got it, so let me know if you do.

When I started, these were my sign-up coupons:
$1.00/1 One A Day Vitamins 60ct
$0.50/1 Planter’s Appalachian Trail Mix

Also under the rewards header, and available on signup, is the First Steps Kit. It contains:
$5.00/1 Omron Pedometer
7 Day Pass to Lifetime Fitness
and a text available discount code to Famous Footwear

There’s my blurb. Now on to the regular stuff…

If you’re an AARP member, you’ll get a $5RR when you buy $20 in one transaction from 6/26-7/30/11. Make sure you scan your AARP card at the register or you will not get your Register Reward. The limit is 2 for the available dates.

Items within a particular sale grouping are brown and deal ideas are green.

Need more help? Here you go or send me a message.

I listed this group deal separately because they’re particularly good deals on baby products if you need them. The MM, Freebies & Cheapies start after this.

Freebies & Cheapies at CVS 7/10-7/16!

Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 8:09am by Melissa 2 Comments

I am now ONLY using online prices in my match-ups. I had been using my actual store prices, but that proved equally frustrating for many people. While I realize that online prices are also frustrating, they’re relatively accurate for some. Since they’re about the same in that regard, it’s easier to use online prices! For new items not yet in their online store, I will continue to use my store prices.

And since we’re moving into the summer season, I’m not matching up the entire ad. Don’t worry, though, you won’t notice. I’ll still put together all the items under $1, all the ECB deals and many, MANY more. Because I’m still doing most of the ad, every link isn’t tested, as I don’t buy everything that’s on sale and I’m too cheap to waste the ink. Let me know if one doesn’t work, if my math has taken a nose dive or I’ve missed a rule somewhere.

Items within a particular sale grouping are brown and deal ideas are green. As always, items are in ascending order by final price.

Need more general help? Here you go or send me a message.
