The Easiest Way To Clean Up After Baking!

I was never a great cook but baking, well that's a bit different. I love baking with following recipes to make something sweet and sugary. One of my favorite things that I love to bake before everyone gets back into their school routines is cookies; but not just any cookies..MONSTER cookies. The bigger and chewer, the better! Here's what you'll need!

INGREDIENTS: 

1 1/2 cups creamy or chunky peanut butter 
1 cup packed light brown sugar 
1 cup granulated white sugar 
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 
3 large eggs 
1 tablespoon vanilla extract 
4 1/2 cups quick cooking oats 
2 teaspoons baking soda
 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 
1 cup M&M's plain chocolate candies
 DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper. 
2. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter with the sugars and butter. Use an electric mixer to mix until well combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the oats and baking soda. Then stir in the chips and M&M's.
3. Drop the cookies by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. If you'd like your cookies to look pretty (like the photo), dot a few extra M&M's and chocolate chips on each mound of dough before baking. 
4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets until cookies are set. 
5. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
So of course after baking delicious cookies, my kitchen looks like it exploded with peanut butter sticking to the M&ms on my counter, not to mention the leftover dirty bowls, spoons and pans you have from the mess! Thankfully, I have the best scrubbing dish cloth to help you get to cleaning and getting your kitchen in easy shape thanks to this handy scrubber! 
1. Fill your sink with hot water 
2. Add some dish detergent while hot water is running to create suds 3. Take each bowl/pan and soak in the water for 3-5 minutes each 
4. Once soaked, use yourScotch-Brite® scrubber ( the scrubbing dots side ) to get that extra grime, grease and caked on batter off! Rinse and repeat if needed. I really appreciate that this scrubber is fully washable, reusable and sturdy to get off the sticky peanut butter. 
5. Now flip your dish cloth over to the fiber cloth side to dry your pans/dishes! Amazing right?! How did you ever learn how to wash dishes after such a mess without your new Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloth! 
Seriously how amazing is it? Now I don't have to worry about how long it'll take me to wash all my dishes because of it's non-scratch scrubbing power and wiping and drying functions. I also love that it comes in a 2 pack ( mint, grey, tan and navy! ) and are fully washable, reusable and sturdy! #Winning !
