Day 5 of the 12 Days of Kitchen Holiday Giveaway

Day 5: December 12, 2019 Thursday

Welcome to Day 5 of the 12 Days of Kitchen Holiday Giveaway!

How is December going for you? It’s a busy time of the year, and if you’re an introvert like me, it can easily get overwhelming. It’s a relief whenever I can find a short cut that makes life easier, so here are two tips to keep your Amish Friendship Bread baking on track this season:

• For those of you who love Amish Friendship Bread but don’t have the time to make a starter, try this No Starter, Starter Free, Amish Friendship Bread recipe if you want to get a couple loaves in the oven ASAP.
• Always keep a starter on hand. The next time you feed your starter, put a cup aside and toss it in the freezer. Here’s a tutorial to teach you how.

The Recipe

Continuing with the theme of easy, today’s featured recipe is Amish Friendship Bread Dump Cookies. It’s a nice, basic recipe that will take any holidays add-ins you have. Here are a few suggestions, and feel free to combine and mix them up for a festive treat:

• red and green M&M’s
• chopped Andes peppermints
• chocolate, white chocolate or butterscotch chips
• crushed candy canes
• chopped candied pecans
• broken pretzels
• sprinkles galore!

This is a great way to make holiday cookies without too much fuss, and to use up whatever extras you might have in your pantry.
