Dark Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup nondairy butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat your muffin top pan with non-stick spray. Sift the flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla until combined. Add the flour prep into the butter, beating until just combined. Stir in chopped chocolate. The dough will be stiff. Divide dough into six equal portions, roll into balls. Flatten in the center of each pan hole, but not entirely as the dough will spread some while baking. Place the muffin top pan on top of a cookie sheet: using the muffin top pan by itself may lead to overbaked cookie bottoms, adding a layer of cookie sheet underneath the pan shields said bottoms. Bake for no more than 14 minutes and remove from the oven. Leave in the muffin top pan for at least 10 minutes before carefully transferring the cookies onto a cooling rack.

Sour Patch Kid Cupcakes

from Tumblr

First make your sour sugar.  It’s the most important part of Sour Patch Kids Candy, so essentially it’s the most important part of these cupcakes. What you do is mix equal parts citric acid and sugar. Mix 1/4 cup citric acid with 1/4 cup sugar. Set that aside. Now bake some cupcakes with a box mix. Then, when they cool, use a paring knife cut a small hole in the top. Fill a ziplock bag with some Strawberry jelly and cut the corner off and squeeze some jelly into the cupcakes.Then pipe your frosting on and sprinkle them evenly with the sour sugar you made.Top them off with a Sour Patch Kid Candy! Enjoy!


This Blog

So after contemplating over what this blank blog should be about, I finally decided it will be on things I love to bake, cook, and eat! It seemed to be the most relaxing and easiest thing to blog about because there are numerous recipes and you could always make a recipe your own. I will also post in my blogroll other blogs that I personally use when I want to try something new. I hope you enjoy it!
