Parmesan Roasted Potatoes Ok fine. I’m officially ready to make the transition to fall. And I thought, what better way to do it than with my all time favorite Parmesan Roasted Potatoes! These are like candy. 100% addictive. Once you stop, you just can’t stop. I always, without fail, make these with Yukon Gold potatoes because here’s the truth… I’m too lazy to peel the skins off potatoes. This is more a technique rather than a recipe, since you can scale these potatoes up if you’re cooking for a crowd. You’re going to start with some naked potatoes…. Add on all the seasonings… Using your fingers, go ahead and toss everything together…. Put them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Once they are nice and golden and crispy, throw them onto a serving platter…. And then EAT!! And just a public service announcement – make a double batch and then serve them with breakfast the next morning too. Parmesan Roasted Potatoes Ingredients Instructions Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.Place the cubed potatoes into a baking dish.
Baking: Grain-free Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies I’ve been going crazy with the hazelnuts lately. I still dislike them in their natural form but grind them up, add sugar and chocolate and it’s all good. I admit that these cookies don’t taste like your typical buttery chocolate cookie and they certainly don’t taste like Nutella cookies (I had high hopes!) but they’re still awesome. Really. They’re chewy and don’t taste too healthy. You know what? If you’re a coconut fan, you might want to toss in some extra coconut because these don’t have a strong coconut taste, although it’s there. * One time in college I abandoned my bedroom for over a week because I saw a cockroach in there. I’ve been fiddling with grain-free recipes lately. The chocolate chips are optional. Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350ºF / 190ºC.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles | annie's cooking lab Last weekend a friend I decided to neglect our school work and go for a hike in the snow followed by dinner and a movie at my house. I had all the ingredients on hand for some tasty Corn and Cheese Chowder which was perfect way to warm up after a cold hike. My friend said she’d be in charge of bringing ingredients for us to make dessert and I was so excited to see that she’d picked out these truffles! Eating the cookie dough is usually one of the best parts of making cookies, but then you feel bad because you’re supposed to be making cookies- not snacking on the dough! These cute little truffles taste just like cookie dough and since they don’t have any eggs, they’re totally safe to eat. These can be decorated in all sorts of creative ways and they’ll look like a suitable ‘grown up’ dessert, even though you’re eating cookie dough! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Ingredients Directions Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and brown sugar , add the vanilla. Makes: 3-4 dozen
Cookie Dough Mini Pies « The Summer Olympics Games are one of my favorite things in the world. In fact, this August I’m going on my dream vacation to London to spectate the games! Although I could only afford one ticket to a session of track + field events, I am still ecstatic to be present for such an incredible event. This year, I am lucky enough to actually know some of the athletes personally that will be competing. This weekend, potential Team USA athletes are vying for their ticket to London at the Track & Field Olympic Trials in Eugene Oregon. I can’t wait to see some of my favorite Gators representing their country at the 2012 Summer Games!! That being said, I couldn’t pass up the chance to compete in a baking-themed version of the games – the Cookie Dough-Lympics! For my entry, I made cookie dough mini pies.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Oh. My. God. If you could take perfection, roll it in a ball, and dip it chocolate, this would be it. I’m not joking here folks. My apologies to the New Years’ resolution folk. The cookie dough itself is egg-free, and potentially dairy free AND vegan if you get picky about what you coat them with. Take it or leave it (but I strongly suggest you take it. Update: Since it was first posted in 2010, I’ve updated this recipe and included it in my new cookbook, The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook (Quirk Books, 2012). You may also like... Recipe Goldmine recipes, cooking tips, food preparation, kitchen charts Mint Chocolate Chip Cake Chocolate cake and I have had a very interesting romance. I started off with quite an intense dislike of chocolate cake. I KNOW. So this year for Regex Man's birthday I offered to do a chocolate cake even though he said it didn't have to be chocolate this year. I used David Lebovitz's devil's food cake recipe again, my new favourite chocolate cake since making it for my raspberry cupcakes when I launched the new site. Originally I was going to arrange the scoops of icing around the edge of the cake, but I realised I didn't have quite enough icing to do that so I ended up just doing a few of them in the middle. Mint Chocolate Chip Cake For the icing:280g (2.5 sticks) unsalted (or slightly salted) butter500g icing sugar (about 4 cups), sifted2-3 tsp peppermint essence, adjust to taste150g dark chocolate, very finely chopped or pulsed through a food processorgreen food colouringOptional: waffle ice cream cones to decorate Mix together the coffee and milk. Happy Birthday Regex Man!
