Passover Chocolate Chip Cookies

On the bottom of this post is my first batch of these cookies.  I call them Disaster Cookies.  They are a sweet disaster since all the pieces are being eaten, as I type.


 Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is from Mrs. Rikva Thumim of Golders Green, London. It is posted in Tamar Ansh’s book.

Makes about 45 cookies – or so. Hard to tell as they get eaten very quickly! (I made four cookie sheets which includes those disaster cookies.)

Ingredients:


2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup oil
2 packets, about 2 T. vanilla sugar
3  cups very finely ground almonds – (almost flour consistency)
1 cup potato starch
1 cup = 10 oz. chocolate chips

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350°F

Cream together the sugar, eggs, and oil. Add in the vanilla, almonds, potato starch, and chocolate chips and mix well.

Freeze the batter for 30 minutes to make it easier to form the cookies. Make those cookies very small. The first batch, I made, they were about a teaspoon in size and they spread and filled the entire cookie sheet. I had spaced them two inches apart and they just kept spreading until, there was no other place, to go.

Make small balls out of the batter using your hands or a mini ice cream scooper. Place them on a parchment-baking paper- lined tray. DO NOT flatten the cookies at all. They spread a lot in the baking process. The size I made for the second batch was no bigger than a marble.

Bake them for 10 minutes, until they are lightly browned and crinkled. Let them cool a bit on the paper and then remove them. Hide them quickly if you want some for later, and yes, these do freeze well.

    Oh no! I know how you feel, but maybe you could crunch them into an ice-cream :-).
    Never mind, very courageous of you to post them, and I am following you!

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
