Chocolate Truffle Cookies


I was disappointed with the look of my last chocolate cookie although it tasted great.  I decided to try another recipe for some of my grandchildren.  I made a chocolate truffle cookie and so far, I have only tasted one while it was warm.  It was unbelievable both texture wise and flavor.

Chocolate Truffle Cookies (allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:

4 (1 ounce) squares, unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
6 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
1/2 cup gluten-free flour mixture
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method:
In the microwave, melt unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the butter stirring occasionally until smooth. 

Remove from heat and set aside to cool. 

In a large bowl, whip eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. 

Stir in the vanilla and the chocolate mixture until well mixed. 

Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into the chocolate mixture. 

Fold in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. 

Cover dough and chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls. 

Place on ungreased cookie sheets so they are 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven. 

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Eat and enjoy.

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.

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

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
