Two Tone Cookie Crinkles

This is the cookie, we are baking for Cookie Carnival.  Each month, Tammy selects a cookie, we all choose to bake with her. 

I learned a lot from making this cookie, the two tone cookie crinkles.  I made my mistakes, along the way and hope I learned from them.

When I cut the shaped cookies, I was not exacting about the size and shape and as a result, my cookies are not consistent.   The result was that they did not line up correctly.  Regardless of this, they are visually good enough and taste-wise, also good enough.

Summing up the cookie, it is a double cookie with a ganache filling.  With a vanilla and chocolate component, you know it is good.

I have no idea why these are called crinkles.

I don't like making big cookies and usually choose a smaller version but being the first time, I made this, I stuck to the directions.  Big cookies are still not my faves but this one came out as a good to eat, attractive cookie.

    Oh, these are beautiful. I wonder if they would be too hard for my eleven-year-old girls to make. They love baking and they are actually a lot better at making pretty things than I am. I just don't have the patience.... Great job!

    I, too, find it hard to get cookies that line up together whenever I try to make sandwich cookies. I like how the chocolate looks like it's bubbling out the middle. Yum!

    They look beautiful. I like the shape of the cookie cutter you chose. These are so delicious, but I too cannot figure out why they are called crinkles!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
