Whew. What a night. Went to the store late with S and the babe to stock up on fruits and veggies and all baking supplies. I was beat and S masaged me for forever as we watched Pride and Prejudiced YET again!
I can see the baking bug coming on.
Day before yesterday I made some "Fudge Ecstasy" cookies and MAN were they good and SO easy.
Bag of semi-sweet choc chips
2 squares bakers choc
2 tbls butter
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2.5 tsp baking powder
vanilla
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) I made with and without
Melt 1/2 the bag of chips, butter and bakers choc in med saucepan til' melted
add eggs vanilla flour and baking powder stir well
add remaining cc chips and nuts
drop by rounded tsp on greased cookie sheet
bake at 350 for ten min or until sides are firm and top is cracked.
Fabulous
These are such FAST cookies and really have a very chocolately grown up taste. This recipe is straight from the red checkered cookbook! I was babysitting that day and funny when the Dad came to pick up the his boys, I did not have the gumption to call them "Fudge Ecstasies!" I thought it too immodest! I simply called them "Chocolate Cookies"
Perhaps if I were to have called them by their proper name it would have illicited a better response than "Great, just what we need."
Sheesh!
We are now endeavoring to try something new all the time and are about to venture into the bread making again. There is just NO reason why we cannot have the fresh bread every other day with all these girls around dying to cook! So we have all the flour and yeast one needs!
But today dear friends, I am up and about to start "Cinnabon Style" Cinnamon Buns. oooooh, they sound good. The real kind that you have to let rise and punch down and could actually send you to the hospital for all the sugar and butter and of course cream cheese frosting.
The only trouble is that it makes twenty!!!!!! I didn't want to cut the recipe because in baking you should not (nor double the recipe either) so if they come out, I guess the neighbors will be the recipients of our efforts once again.
