More and Better Pie Dough Cookies - QED

Link Up Lounge     

Today, I defrosted two more pie shells, the last of my stock.  I, again, experimented and turned out a wonderful cinnamon cookie.  I brought them to my class with chocolate cookies.  At first, they all took a chocolate cookie and then a cinnamon which is more simple.  After that, all they wanted was the cinnamon cookies.  They turned out to be delicious and so easy to make.

Now, that the pie shells are gone, I am turning to wontons and then puff pastry.  Stay around for some fun.
 
This is for later for coffee  to drink with the cookies.

Cinnamon Pie Shell Cookies - the Fifth Graders' Choice

Ingredients:

Pie shell dough - either frozen store-bought or homemade

butter or margarine (Don't tell.  I used spray cooking oil.  It worked beautifully.  Paula Deen is not my name.) 
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If you are using scraps, roll them into a large rectangle.  If you are using a pie shell, just roll it so the sides are flat.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in small bowl and put aside.
Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.  I also used a knife to make small rectangles.
Place cookies on parchment paper on cookie sheets.
Spray one side of each cookie and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes.  Mine were finished at 9 minutes but I started checking them earlier. 

Take a bite.  Get a cup of coffee or tea.  Grab a chair.  Relax and enjoy each bite.
These have nut crunch and a little cinnamon sugar on top.
These were the favorites.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
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

Image
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 ...
