Instead of making homemade chocolates this year, I decided to decorate some box of chocolate cookies instead… You know, those heart-shaped boxes that can only be found around Valentine’s Day. It seemed like a fun cookie design to try just for fun (and a good way to use up the rest of my Nutella cutout cookies and royal icing from my heart cookies last week).
It’s been a while since I decorated cookies… Hand surgery has a way of messing things up like that. When I posted my Nutella Sandwich Cookies for Nutella Day on Saturday, though, I promised that the cutout cookies would work well for decorating… I keep my promises. Plus, my hand is doing much better. I…
The hardest part about this recipe was coming up with a name. What do you call fudgy Nutella brownies topped with peanut butter cookies and chocolate chips?
This recipe has been a long time in the making. I have been seeing the brownie/chocolate chip cookie combinations for a little while. Then, a few weeks ago, I saw these Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies from Evil Shenanigans. They have been haunting me ever since.
A very important holiday is here! No, I’m not talking about the important football game this weekend, a president’s birthday, or that sweethearts’ day where you have to buy flowers and candy. I’m talking about World Nutella Day!
You haven’t heard of it? It’s the (not so) official holiday for Nutella lovers around the world to unite and celebrate their love of Nutella! The lovely bloggers over at Ms. Adventures in Italy and Bleeding Espresso have declared that today, February 5th, 2010 is World Nutella Day. It’s exciting!
Last week (prior to my hand surgery) I did some baking while I still had the chance… I had taken a bit of a break over the holidays, and it was nice to get back in the kitchen!
I still had some of the pumpernickel flour I had ordered left in my pantry, so I decided to use it to make some scones. I really love the combination of chocolate and cranberries, so I went with that flavor combination. These scones are easy to make and taste fabulous topped with a smear of Nutella. They are best served right away, though, because I found that they dried out a bit after a day or two.
In keeping with my 12 Days of Christmas celebration, I thought it would be fun to put together a cookie guide for this week’s Friday Favorites post. Christmas is just over two weeks away, so we’re entering into the prime cookie baking time of the year. If you’re looking for new recipes to try this…
I’m sure all of you already know that two of my favorite things are Nutella and espresso. Who’s with me? When I was asked to write a guest post for Flavia’s Flavors, I thought I’d combine the two in a rich and creamy ice cream. After all, Flavia is on vacation in Italy (and I…
It’s Friday again, which can only mean one thing… Well, maybe a few things. You may be looking forward to the weekend and the big plans you have, but I was talking about my Friday Favorites! Sure, that might not be quite as excited as what you had in mind, but checking out these blog…
One of my favorite things about summer is ice cream. Don’t get me wrong… I eat ice cream all year round, but I think it’s especially refreshing in the summer. I worked in an old fashioned ice cream parlor during the summers when I was in school and I definitely have a soft spot for…
It’s Friday! That means it’s time for my Friday Favorites and time for me to share with you a third way you can enter to win the shiny red grill I’m giving away… All week I have been promising you another entry in the giveway, so here it is! Food safety is super important during…
