Chocolate Fudgy Cookies

The second cookie, I am putting into my box for Baking Gals is this chocolate cookie that is not fudgy, nor really a strong chocolate but it is a really good cookie. It calls for 8 drops of food coloring although, it does not tell what color.  I omitted this since I could not understand the purpose.  I added a little vanilla to make up for the lack of food coloring (mine is liquid).  I also split the chocolate chips with some caramel chips

Chocolate Cookies  (adapted)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F . Line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine , white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. 
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Mix in the chocolate hazelnut spread. Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture until just blended. 
  4. Fold in chocolate chips. 
  5. Drop dough by spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. These cookies spread.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Food coloring for chocolate chip cookies? I don't understand that either.

    I have yet to try a chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutella. I agree, I'm not sure I've seen food coloring used in this type of cookie. Your version looks delicious. I'm glad you left it out. :)

    I would not use the food coloring either. A perfect idea to add the caramel with the chocolate chips. I bet these were delicious. Blessings, Catherine xo

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

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 ...
