Thanks everyone for the great recipes sent in for the contest. There are a lot of recipes for me to make and I have been busy in the kitchen. Today, I spent time making Ben's Peppermint Chocolate cookies.
 |
| Step 1: Mix dry ingredients. |
 |
| Step 2: Melt chocolate and butter. I hope my cookies stand up to Ben's expectations. |
 |
| I had to count 45 peppermint candies then crush them in a zip lock bag. |
 |
While the dough chilled so did Sequoia and I.
|
 |
| The final product. Me thinks my staff made a mistake somewhere in the cooking process but we hope we do Ben's recipe justice. |
They look great to us! Jerry says he can be over in 15 minutes, that is just in case you need some help in eating them!
ReplyDeleteWe've also discovered that you can now buy crushed peppermint candy in a package, so that can save you some time, but then again, you won't have the fun of hammering the candies, which is nice if you had a bad day.
Besides eating the cookies I really enjoyed crushing the candy. That was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way of taking out your stuffy frustrations at (1) not getting enough hot chocolate and (2) not taking enough fun trips!
DeleteLooks delicious! And yes, crushing the candy sounds very therapeutic.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks yummy! Will you be making all the recipe entries? That's quite a lot of work... but I know you are excellent at delegating work to your roommates.
ReplyDeleteThe dream is to make all the recipes - it might take a while. I will be delegating the cooking but not delegating the tasting.
DeleteJerry says it is a good idea to supervise the humans, and to taste test.
DeleteMmm... they look beary yummy.
