one sweet that i'm gonna be making and

i'm gonna make it first

it is chocolate peanut butter cookies

[Music]

i've got our oven preheating to 375 i'm

going to mix our wet ingredients the

first thing i need is half a cup of

shortening

i'm using this crisco butter flavored

shortening and a half a cup

is eight tablespoons next i need three

fourths a cup of creamy

peanut butter

i've got 1 and 1 4 cup of packed light

brown sugar

3 tablespoons of milk

and just one teaspoon of vanilla

i'm going to move this over to where my

electric mixer is at and i'm going to

beat this until it is well blended and

then i will be adding in my egg

now that this is creamed together i'm

going to add our egg

and we're going to blend this just until

it's mixed together

now we're going to combine our dry

ingredients i need 1 and 1 4 cup

of all-purpose flour

i need one half a cup of cocoa you want

to make sure that you don't pack it into

your measuring cup you just lightly pour

it

and i've got three quarters of a

teaspoon of salt and three quarters of a

teaspoon of baking soda

i'm just going to mix this together

now i'm just going to add our dry

ingredients over into our wet

ingredients

little by little and just mix it

on low speed

that's it it was so simple so now i'm

just going to use this scooper and put

my dough balls here on the

ungreased cookie sheet

[Music]

and now i'm just going to press into

them in a criss-cross pattern

with this fork

okay these are going in a 375 degree

oven for seven to eight minutes

[Music]

okay i'll let the cookies cool on the

baking sheet for just a couple of

minutes i'm going to transfer them over

to this cooling rack and we're going to

finish out our other two batches of

cookies

and then we'll get started on the savory

snacks

next up i'm going to be making mexican

spinach dip

i'm preheating the oven to 350. i've got

this square baking dish i'm going to

spray with a little bit of pam

[Music]

my cream cheese has been sitting out for

just a little bit but i'm going to pop

it in the microwave just to soften it up

just a little bit more

to get started i'm going to put in my

softened cream cheese this is an

entire block or eight ounces i've got a

third a cup

of sour cream

[Music]

and i'm also going to be adding in some

jalapeno this is one large jalapeno that

i did

take all the seeds out of and just

chopped it really fine

i'm going to mix all of this together

next i'm adding in two cans of rotel i

did drain these

really really well because we don't want

too much liquid

now i'm going to add in half of an onion

that i've diced really finely

and a 10 ounce box of frozen spinach

that i thawed and then squeezed

dry

i used my handy dandy cheese shredder

and shredded three cups of

cheddar cheese i'm gonna add that in now

lastly we're going to season the mixture

i'm going to add in about a teaspoon of

salt

a half a teaspoon of chili powder

and about a half a teaspoon of ground

cumin

i'm going to mix all of this together

and we're just going to put it over here

in the baking dish

[Music]

i'm just going to set this to the side

it's not going in the oven quite yet

it's got to bake for the same amount of

time and at the same temperature as our

next dish so let's assemble that the

next thing we're going to make

are chicken bacon ranch sliders here's

everything we're going to need

the only thing i really need to do as

far as cooking

well i've already cooked up my bacon you

can see that over there i need to

crumble that up

but i do need to make some seasoned

butter so let's grab a sauce pan and do

that really quickly

i've got this small saucepan heated to

medium well

it's heating up to medium i'm going to

add in a half a cup of butter or a whole

stick of butter

and let that melt completely down that

has melted so now we're going to add in

our seasonings

got about a tablespoon of chives a

teaspoon of garlic salt and a half of a

teaspoon

of onion powder okay i am using king's

hawaiian rolls

the recipe calls for potato rolls but i

couldn't find any at my grocery store

so i'm going to cut them in half using a

serrated knife

i'm going to take the tops off

i'm going to transfer the bottom to this

baking sheet that i have lined with

parchment paper

i'm going to use about 1 3 of this

butter

and brush the bottoms with that

this already smells really good next i'm

going to take my colby jack cheese i

have 12 slices

and i'm going to layer half of that onto

the bottom of

this now i'm going to take my deli meat

which is thinly sliced

chicken breast i do have a pound here

i'm going to layer this

on top of the cheese now i'm just going

to crumble my bacon

and layer it on top it called for eight

slices of bacon i don't think i had

quite eight left in a package and i

didn't want to open up another package

you can tell stephen isn't in here

because there's not

another set of hands reaching over here

and grabbing this bacon off of here

it calls for about a third a cup of

ranch dressing i'm just going to eyeball

it

now i'm going to top it with the

remainder of the cheese

[Music]

now it says to add some more of our

butter on top of the cheese

okay i'm going to put our tops on

now i'm going to take this remaining

butter

and put it all over the top and the

sides

it's a mess but it is going to be so

good

speak of the devil here he comes he

smelled that bacon y'all

look i saved you a piece baby

the last touch before it goes in the

oven is i'm just going to sprinkle it

with a little parmesan cheese

now i'm just going to cover it very

loosely with some aluminum full

and this is going to go in the oven at

350 for 20 minutes and then i will take

off

the full and it will go in for 10 more

minutes and then it will be done

also going in the oven at 350 for 25 to

30 minutes

is our mexican spinach dip
