Nutella Sandwich Cookies. Hello there A Beautiful Mess readers, I'm Emma, Elsie's sister and the gal behind Food Coma.
At Elsie's wedding last week I had the opportunity to try Nutella for the first time. Now I'm obsessed. So I've been trying to dream up different ways to use this magical new-to-me spread and I thought that in between two cookies might be the perfect place for Nutella. Along with on top of toast. Like, every morning. You can enjoy these cookies in the late afternoon along with some coffee or in the evening with some milk while watching the latest episode of Glee.
Nutella Sandwich Cookies, makes 10-12. Ingredients: 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon (aluminum-free) baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of Nutella. Cream together the butter and sugars, stir in egg and vanilla. Now form into small round disks, about 2-3 inches in diameter and uniformly thick.
Xo. Homemade peanut butter cups. Everybody likes getting candy, even if they are (ahem) maybe a bit too old to be Trick or Treating.
(If that's even possible.) Here's a cute idea to dress up a sweet candy gift for a friend or coworker, preset your candy in decorative jars! Simply use mason jars (or other canning jars) and cover the tops with colorful fabrics. You can use store-bought candies, or you can make your own! Here's how to make homemade peanut butter cups: Needed: mini cupcake pan plus mini sized cupcake liners (we used brown ones), 1 bag (about 2 cups) dark or semi-sweet chocolate, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 3/4 cup powder sugar. First, line your mini cupcake pan with liners. While that is cooling, make the peanut butter filling. Now melt the remaining chocolate with 1 tablespoon oil. Have fun making your own peanut butter cups! 3 Pie Inspired Pop-Tart Recipes. One morning I woke up with a real hankering (yes, hankering) for a slice of pie.
So I thought it would be fun to create pie inspired homemade pop-tarts. I made three different flavors; pumpkin pie, pecan pie and apple pie! These are super easy to make and you can cut them out to be traditional rectangle-shaped tarts, or you can use any large cookie cutter to make your pop-tarts into cute shapes (I made hearts!). All you need to whip up a batch of these for yourself is puff pastry and your choice of 'pie' fillings. You can buy puff pastry in most grocery stores, in the freezer section.
For the apple pie pop-tarts I made the filling with 1 peeled and finely chopped apple (I used granny smith, but any variety is fine), 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. For the pumpkin pie pop-tarts I made the filling with 1/2 cup pumpkin, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
