Thanks for that tip...I will give it a try. I have a recipe for Gingerbread Cream Cheese Dip and had to let that cream cheese sit forever to get soft enough to use. I'm all about cutting corners!! Honey, I loved that Easy Bake Oven...it was one of the best Christmas presents I ever got!!! :-) Love and hugs and Merry Christmas!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-83382143189985153092016-12-22T11:56:09.885-06:002016-12-22T11:56:09.885-06:00Ha ha....you are so right!!

I've ...This looks like a great recipe, Benita! I've only attempted gingerbread once...it was so dry I could barely roll it out! I have the same patience problem with softening butter and even cream cheese. One thing that works for me is heating up a damp towel in the microwave and wrapping the stick of butter or brick of cream cheese, still wrapped, in the towel. Check it every minute. Hope this helps. I'm not a very good baker but I know how to cut corners!<br /><br />Oh...I miss my Easy Bake Oven!!! Why did you have to bring that up? And it was a Christmas present, too! Bwaaaaaaa... ;-D<br /><br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-13555691278961874462016-12-20T19:20:56.735-06:002016-12-20T19:20:56.735-06:00You're a trouper Benita!
