Father's Day Fulled With Homemade Pizza And Cookies

 Father's Day began with me and my sister serving breakfast to our parent's and giving our creative cards to our dad.My sister gave him a shirt and my plan was to make him a apple cake for dessert;however that's not how it worked out because I so tired and ended up falling asleep for a while. So my mom ended up baking the apple cake and I made dinner along with a sweet treat later in the day. I chose to make two thin crust pizzas and chocolate chip sugar cookies.

In the time I was making the cookie dough my sister phoned my mom and invited all of us to her place for a Father's day dinner.So I began to rush to finish up the cookies and prepare the pizzas to be cooked at my sister's because there wouldn't be enough time. At my sister's the pizza's came out wonderfully along with the delicious food she made for the dinner.The pizza was eating all up and so were the 2 dozen cookies I made.I was very happy that everyone liked the baking and it certainly was a day fulled with good food. I had a good time spending time with family and just relaxing in the nice weather were having here.

The pizza I made was a delicious thin crust from a high school recipe I kept and it was really easy to make.My toppings that I chose were  Hawaiian style and a variation of onion,meat,peppers and cheese.They were both really delicious with their great chewy,soft and crunchy texture of dough and their wonderful different flavor combination.I was very satisfied with this pizza dough recipe and will use it again in the future.

The cookies were a simple sugar cookie recipe with an added bonus of milk chocolate chips.The great thing about this recipe is you don't have to chill the dough and you can go ahead and bake them right away. However if you want to make cut outs, I advise to chill the dough for 30 minutes just to keep the shape.These cookies had a crunchy and slightly soft texture,but I do advise when you put them in a cookie tin place a piece of bread with them so they keep some softness and moisture. These are definitely a reliable recipe to get the taste and texture of a sugar cookie.They have the chocolate sweetness and the mild sugar flavor. They were eaten pretty quickly with my family around and got positive compliments to both recipes. So try these recipes out yourself and  I promise you won't be disappointed.
