MangiaMore: SNICKERDOODLES

-->
RER 2.4.15
I am always on a quest for a delicious cookie (like really, who isn’t?), but this time I was craving snickerdoodles. You know like those soft Mrs. Fields cookies that you used to get on winter days during long shopping excursions at the mall. I was dying for that feeling.

Of course when I googled “soft and chewy snickerdoodles” a recipe from Averie Cooks pops up (This happened to me before when I was trying to finish up some leftover pumpkin puree!). I stumbled on her post on The Best Snickerdoodles, and after comparing it with a few other recipes, I decided to ditch the other ones and trust Averie.

These were easy to throw together, though, the worst part was waiting “at least one hour” for the little balls of goodness to firm up in the fridge. A tumble in the prepared cinnamon sugar, made these cookies what they are: snickerdoodles.

Of course right, out of the oven, I dusted the cookies with even more of the cinnamon sugar, allowing it to seep into the warm cookie and connect with the almost under-baked center. That extra oomph took these cookies over the top. There’s no such thing as too much cinnamon sugar, amiright?

Once the beauts baked and cooled, they lost most of the fluff advertised in the recipe. But they were still chewy, soft, and mind-blowing. The dynamic duo of brown and white sugars added layers of sweetness and helped to create that pliable texture. And that extra cinnamon sugar coating made these cookies the things of dreams.

I got exactly what I was looking for. Too bad only one batch (about 16 cookies) is not enough!

MangiaMore: APPLE pie butter bars

-->
RER 10.11.14
Sometimes one recipe doesn't satisfy my cravings (or available ingredients), so I have become a master mixer of recipes. That’s what happened last weekend. We had some things and not others, so I combined two bomb recipes. I used the crust and crumble from American Heritage Cooking’s Salted Caramel Butter Bars. I was sold on butter. Then I took the apple filling from Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bars from Sally’s Baking Addiction, because I had the apples. The result was exactly what I was wanting.

photo op: BIRTHDAY weekend


RER 10.14.14
This weekend was my birthday, and as I ought to, I celebrated with food. Despite being a slug most of my birthday weekend, we managed to make some tasty treats with a little bit of apple and a ton of butter. I was dragged out of the house to a lovely birthday dinner on the water and returned home to the most beautiful surprise birthday cake—three layers and all.
