Homemade Slice and Bake Cookies

We are trying to not buy so many pre-made/pre-fab things from the store.  So, we decided to try to make our own slice and bake cookies.  So easy and so yummy!

Here are a few pictures, they went fast!

Dough for slice and bake cookies all rolled and ready to go in the fridge.

Just out of the fridge, being sliced up.

Ready to bake.

All baked, they look so yummy and taste better than store bought.  :)

Cookies

Ok, so we needed to make cookies to take along to a friend's house and we always need cookies at home, so we decided to make some cookies.  And you  know me, I always tend to make alot with four kids, lol!  We ended up making 9 1/2 dozen cookies.  We have cookies until next year, lol.  :)

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ok, so I decided to make cookies.  Well, as it turns out the recipe didn't say how many cookies it made!  So, I just followed along.  It ended up making 9 dozen,  yes I said that, NINE (9) DOZEN cookies!!!  Of course my kids eat them really fast so no problem I guess, lol.  :D

Here they are being made and put in containers.

And this is where I got the recipe from:  http://theprudenthomemaker.com/default.aspx.  This site has some really great recipes and ideas on saving money.  It also has ideas on homeschooling and homemaking.    Enjoy!

And there it is, 1st Jar is regular tea, 2nd jar is Cranberry Green Tea, 3rd is Lemon Ginger Tea and the 4th Jar is Iced Coffee Concentrate.

All of them are very yummy!!!!
