Vanilla Latte Cookies
November 3, 2011 | Print | E-mail | Filed under 12weeksofchristmascookies, cookie Now that Halloween is over (and we’re halfway through the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies!), are you already planning for Thanksgiving? I know some who are already knee-deep in planning, and others who haven’t even thought about it yet. I’m somewhere in between; since it’s my turn to host again this year, I’ve been trying to put together a menu at least so that I can let people know what else to bring. So far it’s slow-going, although I do have a few ideas in mind. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened2/3 cup powdered sugar1 Tbsp instant espresso1 tsp vanilla1 vanilla bean, split and scraped1/4 tsp ground cinnamon2 cups all-purpose flour Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add in the flour, beating until combined. Roll the dough into 1″ balls. Bake about 12 minutes or until the edges are set. Leave a Reply
Mixed Berry & Cherry Clafoutis
I love cherry season. I have such great memories as a kid going cherry picking. My brother and I would sit in the trees and just eat until we couldn’t possibly be any stickier. Of course it was always hot which seemed to just compound the stickiness factor. However we never seemed to care. My friend’s Loran and Mike dropped a giant bowl of cherries off the other day picked fresh from Mike’s father’s tree. The first thing that came to mind was a Mixed-Berry and Cherry Clafoutis. When topped with a sweet whipped cream, it’s perfect since the clafoutis itself is not overwhelmingly sweet. A traditional French clafoutis often leaves the cherry pits in the fruit but I prefer them out. You won’t believe how easy this is to make. Let’s make it together…I promise simplicity. Here’s the ingredients you will need: Mixed berries, cherries, whole milk, superfine sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, salt, white flour and powdered sugar. This is one of my favorite kitchen tools, a cherry pitter.
Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies
Good news everyone. I have found the one. The oatmeal butterscotch cookie recipe I have been searching for. What, you haven’t also been searching for this particular brand of cookie bliss? Well, maybe it’s just me. In any case, it’s no secret that a dessert containing butterscotch chips is almost sure to be a winner with me – cakes, cookie bars, and more. The additions of the shredded coconut and toffee bits may seem a bit odd, but I think the coconut helped achieve the perfect chewy texture and the toffee bits helped round out the flavor of the cookies. Quick housekeeping note – Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway last week.
Colorful Spiral Cookies
Just try to be in a bad mood around one of these. Impossible! I was naturally drawn to these because of the bright, eye-catching swirl, not to mention the jumbo sprinkles-encrusted edges! Another thing I love about these is that they are SLICE and BAKE. I won't go much into preparation here, because that's all in the recipe, but here are some pictures to give you an idea of the process. I wanted to make my dough even on all sides, so I trimmed some away to make an even roll. I used Wilton's rose gel food coloring. You'll then encrust the dough with jumbo (or other) sprinkles. Speaking of ham... Some of you may wonder why there are so many pictures of my dog, Biscuit, included in my posts. I'll say "Biiiissscuit...no-no!" ...and all my disciplinary plans fly out the window. I think this version turned out cute too, although I really like the larger jumbo non-pariels better. EDIT: Laurie at Dalla Mia Cucina made them - check out her pretty version. Remove dough pieces from refrigerator. Love,

Spiral Slice-and-Bake Cookies
I've never really been a fan of Valentine's Day. I've always just found it to be a silly sort of holiday with no real meaning behind it. I guess it's the whole, overly-commercialized aspect of the holiday that bothers me. It just seems to be a holiday created specifically for chocolate and greeting card companies to put production in overdrive for several weeks after the Christmas holidays...at least until Easter rolls around anyway. It's not that I'm a single, bitter human being who feels that whole "forever alone" thing and sees Valentine's Day as a day that is instead a "Singles Awareness Day." I am none of the above, but regardless...I have always viewed Valentine's Day as a day that should be treated just like any other. However...before I sound like a really bitter, awful person who hates on Valentine's Day in spite of the majority of the population's general approval of the holiday, I must say there are two good things about it.
Crispy Oatmeal Cookies « Cookies
Oatmeal cookies, they are loved by everyone! These are crispy and full of nuts. And their fragrance… . Oh that cinnamon fragrance! Mmmmm… . I highly recommend them! Ingredients 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup (200 grams) sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup (105 grams) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups (220 grams) oats 1 cup (110 grams) walnuts, toasted and chopped 1. 2. They will become lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and chop into pieces. 3. Then add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well blended. 4. 5. Then add the nuts and oats and mix again. 6. I used an ice-cream scoop to divide up the dough (dipping the scoop in water makes the dough slide off easier). Space the cookies-to-be about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. 7. 8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool! Yummy!
