Look What I Have Been Up To, Making Chocolate Chip Message Cookies

Yep, that is right. I have been making chocolate chip message cookies and guess what? It is fun. They are easy to make too. I have found that the simple way and quickest way is to use Nestle's Toll House cookie dough already prepared in the tub. You can get it in the refrigerated section at the grocery store. It is located by the cookie section but it is usually on a bottom shelf since it won't fit into the compartments already set up for the break and bake type of cookies. I really did not want to spend $4.99 for the tub of cookie dough but it was the easiest and time saving route at the time. It proved to be not a bad economical route in the end since I was able to make two large message cookies out of it. Of course I jazzed it up a bit too. I followed the directions on the container but I added to it. Once I spread the cookie dough in the pizza pan I then pressed into the dough Ghiradelli bitter chocolate chips. The second one I did the same for also. I would suggest letting the cookie dough get a bit warm like setting it out to soften a bit it makes it easier for spreading in the pan. It really does not take long to assemble. I was pinched for time the first time I made it so when it came out of the oven I then cheated and put it in the freezer to cool faster. I made the homemade butter cream frosting while it was baking so I needed to be able to decorate it quickly. Putting it in the freezer worked. I do enjoy making my butter cream frosting. I then decorate. Sometimes I have a plan of action (the message on the cookie and on the second one I just decorated with a Fall type of theme.
The first one I made for someone that was moving and so I thought it was appropriate to acknowledge that. They have wanted to move for several years and it was now the time to do it. I also thought that if I plant a seed of faith into this person's life with speaking a prophetic message via cookie message that God will be faithful to me in my life with a prophetic dream that He gave to me to come into fruition in my life now.
If God gives you the dream/vision for your life then never let go of it for He will surely make it come to pass. It may not always be in your time frame that you want it to happen or your conceived mind set but it will come to pass in His timing when He sees the completed picture and when it will all come together and come forth, Do not faint in waiting for it or give up hope for that is exactly what the enemy wants you to do. Is their a dream or vision or even a business desire tucked inside of you? Did you seek the Lord to confirm that it was placed their by God and not some desire that you made up? That is a key factor in all of this. The dream/vision must come from God and when you get it you must then test to see if it truly did come from God. If you get a negative when you seek Him about it then you have the responsibility to get rid of that dream/vision so as to not let the enemy plant his ideas into your mind and take you off God's path on a detour. You know, he just loves to do that. When you are moving and flowing with God do not be surprised that the enemy will come in like a rapid flood to try and destroy destiny. Guess what, he loses and that is the comforting thing in all of this. God will show you the roadblocks the enemy sets up for you to either not take that route or to cancel the assignment he tried to send forth for your life. Be wise in the days in which we live in right now for the enemy is out there working hard to stop the saints of God but it seems to be that the harder he works at it the stronger the saints become and do not fall for his tricks.
That is why it is ever so important to walk and talk with God. He gave us Holy Spirit to guide us and do not neglect your relationship with Holy Spirit OK. He is not some dead/written character in a book He is alive and moving on the face of the earth. Will you move with Him or against Him? The choice really is yours.

If you look hard enough you will see I used an orange frosting but I did accent with Fall colored sugar too. I vaguely remember the colors of the license plates in OH that is why I chose red, white and blue. I think those were the colors on the plates. Also, red was a favorite color of the person I made that cookie for.

Want to hear something funny. It gave me a chuckle when I heard it. My niece told me that it looked professional and it was better than the one's she has had from Mrs. Field's. Oh to see things through the eyes of the young. They see it as one way and I see it as it is not professional enough to sell. You do know that I have never taken any cake decorating classes right. I just pick up the tools and create. Maybe that may be something for me to do one day but for now I have two big, major projects on my plate. I guess taking time out to create like this takes the pressure off of me even thinking about what is down the road for me. Amazing what you can hear if you open your ears to hear what people are saying.
