Snickerdoodles. First off, last week I started my food technology program.
Sadly, this means I won't have a lot of time to update my food blog, and to read other people's blogs. I really love having a food blog though so I'm going to try to keep all this up. Unfortunately my posts will be more infrequent and probably shorter. And most likely I'll be posting about baked goods or quick, healthy and easy to make vegetarian meals. Anyway, on to the food! I made snickerdoodles not too long ago, and discovered that they are the most delicious cookies ever in existence.
I've always wanted to make snickerdoodles, but for various reasons never did. When they first came out of the oven, they had slightly crispy outsides and perfectly soft cookie insides. Snickerdoodles(Adapted from Martha's Holiday Cookies 2005) makes about 20 (or 40, if you make the balls very small) 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened1 1/2 cups sugar2 large eggs 1. 2. Brownie-Swirled Chocolate Chip Cookies. Last week’s visit to the Nestlé test kitchens definitely put me in the mood to bake cookies.
I have been looking forward all week to share these with you, I was so pleased with how they came out. For these Brownie-Swirled Chocolate Chip Cookies, I combined two on-the-package Nestlé recipes – Mini Morsels Cookies and Dark Chocolate Brownies – to create one pretty cool-looking cookie that tastes, if I may say, even better than the sum of its parts. If the idea of swirling brownie batter into cookie dough sounds to you like something Jenny from Picky Palate might have come up with, you’re right! My supremely creative friend Jenny is the reigning queen of combining treats to make exciting new ones (her Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are all over the food blogs right now). When I got it in my head that I wanted to combine brownies and cookies I looked to the technique she shared several years ago that ensured big bold swirls without “muddying” the dough.

Make Your Own Girl Scout Cookies, Sans The Artificial Ingredients Whether you want to avoid some of the highly-processed ingredients (like trans fats and palm oil) or you just can’t wait for the annual cookie sale, we’ve got some simple ways to make healthier versions of these classic treats.
Why Make Your Own Though Girl Scout cookies boxes say “trans-fat free,” the term is officially defined by the FDA as a food that contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, meaning some varieties — including uber-popular Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs — still contain trace amounts of the fat.

I had a fabulous birthday weekend. I have an easy and festive Valentine’s Day cookie recipe for you today. Banana Split Cookies. I love taking something that’s already good and making it better. There is something satisfying, for me, about looking at recipes as if they are always in beta, with things that can be tweaked or improved. I’m notorious for rarely making a recipe the same way twice so I always feel like I’m experimenting and growing. It’s one of the reasons that I kept remaking my goat cheese brownies. Sure the first version was delicious, but I couldn’t help but continue tinkering endlessly until I felt like perfection had been achieved.
