Pillsbury Simply Refridgerated Cookies
August 6, 2009 by Laurie
Filed under Contests, Food & Recipes, Product Reviews
We love cookies in our house and one of my most favorite snacks has to be chocolate chip cookies and milk. They are the best when they are out of the oven, but I am not always in the mood to go though the whole spiel of making homemade cookie dough.
I have always been a fan of baking and usually steer clear of pre-made cookie dough. I try and make things that have natural ingredients especially when it comes to sweeteners. It seems like so many things these days contain high fructose corn syrup and not just normal sugar. Everything is ok in moderation, even sugar, and it’s actually probably healthier than the modified high fructose used to sweeten just about everything these days.
We were given the chance to try Pillsbury’s new Simply refrigerated cookie dough and the boys and I were very excited to bake them. The new cookies come in two flavors, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter. They are made with wholesome ingredients like flour, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and have zero grams trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives. They are just “Simply” made with all the good stuff that makes them taste homemade without the mess of making the dough yourself.
I made the cookies with my boys and it was nice to include them. They had fun putting the cookies on the baking sheet to go in the oven. They were very eager to eat the cookies, so they were really excited to see that they were done in just about 13 minutes. The chocolate chip cookies were so good and we polished a dozen cookies off by the end of the day between the four of us. The next batch I make, I think I will have to hide them. Pillsbury Simply cookies taste just like homemade without the mess, so I will definitely keep a couple packages on had for those sweet tooth cravings.

I simplify cooking by using fresh ingredients and not too much sauce or dressing. It’s important to taste the FOOD you are eating!
I try to keep a supply of basics on hand, and then have several recipes that use those ingredients. That way I have a little bit of choice about what to fix each night.
We try to simplify our everyday life with schedules on the fridge. so easy for everyone to keep track of what needs to be done or has been done.
I cook extra when making casseroles, and then freeze the extras which will serve as meals on days when a quick meal is necessary!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I make breakfast the night before and just add fruit as a side item in the morning. I babysit several kids and so all I have to do in the morning is warm it up and that makes everyone happier to have it done faster! 😀 Financially, I type out all of our debt on a chart that I have made from smallest to biggest and pay them off one by one.
For each dinner meal, I cook three simple components: 1. fish, chicken or meat 2. vegetables 3. grain or carbohydrate (potatoes, rice, kasha). Simple.

At our house we are vegetarians. We eat mostly fruits and vegetables that we grown in season in our own back yard. Our simple yet healthful diet gives us optimal nutrition with minimal preparation and cleanup.

Thank you for the contest.
we simplify by premaking bundles of meat for tacos and pizza, and sloppy joes, etc. I try to make twice as much if I can and one of the easiest things to do is make huge crockpots of chili and soups so there is a leftover for a few lunches
if using vegetables cut up the night befor and put in plastic bags mverno@roadrunner.com
I simplify my cooking by planning out my meals a week in advance. Makes dinner time much easier already knowing what I’m going to make!

I simplify my cooking by making enormous batches when I have time, and freezing leftovers. That way I can pull out prepackaged portions when I don’t have time to cook. The best frozen meals are vegetable soup and lasagna.

I simplify my life by being organized. Every Sunday, I sit down with a list of everywhere the kids need to be and a list of everywhere I need to go and work it out so that I can get my errands done while they’re at their friends or in extra-curricular activities.

I NOT A VERY GOOD BAKER, SO I BUY STORE COOKIES
I will make hambugers one night and make extra the next day I will use the left over hamburger to make spaghetti. I do the same thing with grilled chicken. The next day it becomes a salad. This saves me so much time and money.
I simplify my cooking in everyday life by making three meals that are the same. I freeze two for later use. This is also easier to buy the same ingredients when I shop!

I am the absolute queen of being organized, to the point of OCD! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being organized simplifies my life because I know where everything is, I don’t run out of anything, and nothing usually catches me off-guard.

Hi,
I use basic recipes, the fewer ingredients the better. I’m not a very good cook, so the simplier the better
I keep a note pad on the kitchen counter and when I run out of something or am getting low, I write the item on the list. Then when I go shopping I have my list of need. This makes shopping quicker and easier cause I know what I want. I find I get in and out of the store much quicker! Thanks.
I use as much fresh food as I can in meals and use lots of herbs to season.
I never make a meal that takes more than 30 minutes
I try to cook easy meals – nothing too elaborate – lots of fresh veggies and fruit that are easy to prepare
I simplify cooking by choosing easy recipes. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have meals planned out on index cards. Making them a little at a time wasn’t difficult, so now I have over 30 cards, enough for a different dinner idea for a month. Plan the meals out a week in advance with magnets on the frig. Everyone knows what meal is next and there is a ingred list on each card thta makes shopping easy.
I use fresh herbs and spices to flavor basic dishes – makes life easy and uncomplicated (and healthy)
I plan my meals a week in advance and post it on the fridge. I know what I’m making every day and I don’t have to hear whats for dinner? Thank you!

I usually cook a large amount of food one day, and then I have it ready to just reheat for the next couple of days. Saves wear and tear on the cook!
I simplify cooking by doing it in batches. I cook a lot and freeze or plan the week’s meal around what I made. I try to do a lot of prep stuff one day a week, so it’s easy to grab later.

I prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and clean up as I go.
I simplify cooking by having a good supply of pantry basics on hand. No running to the store for a single ingredient!
I prep lots of simple meats and vegetables early in the week, and cook them plainly. Then I combine and recombine them with sauces, eggs, pasta, rice, tortillas, etc. as needed during the week.
We have stopped eating out so much and focus on eating together as a family. Thanks for the chance.

I simplify my cooking by buying my hambgurer in bulk and then frying it all at once and freezing it in 1 lb parts so if I have a casserole or want to make sloppy joes or tacos, I just pull out an alreayd made bag from the freezer.

I simplify things by making large quantities and freezing the leftovers. It’s great to have homemade meals in a pinch.
Baking instead of frying keeps things simple and healthy. Frying just smells up the entire house and makes everything messy and greasy in the kitchen.
One way to simplify cooking is to make double batches of some of your family’s favorite dinners and freeze half of it. For instance a casserole or spaghetti sauce. Then you have a quick easy dinner for a hectic night.
I will do all the prep work a week in advance so I can fix a meal in under a half hour throughout the busy week.

I freeze pasta so when I need a quick easy meal, I take a portion and thaw it out and add some veggies and olive oil and we are ready to eat!
I have to be organized otherwise it get’s too hectic!
Definitely by planning ahead and doing a little at a time it simplifies many things!
To simplify cooking we do as much prep as we can ahead of time – marinate the meat before freezing, cut into the sizes you need for recipes (ie: strips for salads, chunks for stir fry etc), wash all but the most fragile fruits and vegs etc.

I like the cookies that already come prepackaged where you just break the squares off. I have not messed up a batch of those yet Thank you

I simplify cooking by making enough the first time, so that we can have leftovers another night in the week.
Thank you so much for having this contest. I really appreciate it.
I do believe a crockpot has made my cooking life much simplier. I toss the ingredents in, turn it on, and 8 hours later we have dinner. I hate being stuck in the kitchen forever and ever to make a meal!

Thanks for the giveaway… I simplify my life by riding my bicycle to work 3-4 days a week, or taking the bus.
I prepare everything I need next day the night before. I get our clothes ready, prepare our lunches and take care of any work or school forms.
To make cooking easier, I use mixes a lot, during the busy week. I guess what I usually cook is semi-homemade. I do cook from scratch a lot on the weekends, though. Those cookies look good, I’ll have to try them. I do use a lot of the Pillsbury products. They are all good. Thanks for having the contest!
The children are older, hubby is watching cholesterol and our diets are healthier. I seldom bake anymore outside of major holidays. Portion control is much simpler if there’s nothing sitting around to tempt us.
