Tasty Treat Tuesday: Flourless Chewy Chocolate Cookies

February 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment

My in-laws are headed back for another visit so I am on the hunt for some good gluten-free recipes to make while they are here.  These cookies look so good!  Most of the recipes I have tried for flourless cookies tend to be hard and crunchy which is so not how I like my cookies to be.  I am excited to try this recipe out and see what happens!  Thanks to Lori at Recipe Girl for the recipe!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

Cooking With Kids Thursday: Alphabet Pretzels

February 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This is such a fun idea to do with little ones to help them learn their letters.  Older kiddos can get a little more creative and make their own designs or even spell out whole words.  Making the dough together can also be a great learning experience as you teach your children about how yeast works.  Happy spelling!

Here’s what you need to make these Alphabet Pretzels:

  • 1 Tbs yeast
  • 3 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 1/3 cup flour
  • Egg

February 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment

These look absolutely delicious!  I can’t wait to try them out.  I think I will use crushed Oreos for the crust instead of Nutella cookies, though.  I’m not a huge hazelnut fan.  Thanks to The Wicked Noodle for the recipe!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 1 cup crushed Nutella Cookies (view 3-ingredient recipe on thewickednoodle.com/nutella-cookies)
  • 2 T butter, melted
  • 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • 12 raspberries, stuffed with chocolate chips (white or dark)
  • melted chocolate for  hearts and drizzling over cheesecakes (preferably different colors for contrast, but use whatever you’ve got)
  • sprinkles of your choice
