I baked the malted chocolate cookie before Christmas and its such a good cookie. Soft centre with crispy edges. It only made 20 cookies and they disappeared. Next time I will double the recipe. I have baked several more items and will report when i have time.
When my grandson was here, we made Mazurk?(my book is downstairs). I didn’t get to taste it because i gave them the whole square, sbut they raved about it. We used apricot jam.
Another recipe i made and i think they were probably the best brownies i made Chewy Cocoa Brownies. They were chewy, intense chocolate flavour and look at that sheen.
I dont really bake brownies very often. The last ones i bake were from Midwest Made and they were nice but lacked that shine i got with these. What was it about the method that made you hesitant to try this recipe.
When I first read this recipe, I thought it called for a third of a can of canned pumpkin, but I eventually realized it called for a third of a cup. Oy! Now I have the rest of the can in the freezer, but kind of annoyed that this recipe calls for such a small amount.
Anyway, these are nothing special. Very sweet, dense bar. A bit more fragile than I would’ve liked. Prob won’t make again… unless I want to use up my leftover pumpkin
I made the same malted chocolate cookies as @Stef_bakes - we loved these - but they spread WAY more than in the pic in the book. I experimented and baked half of them the next day (chilled dough in fridge) - same result.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the walnut streusel cc coffee cake - I measured batter/streusel by weight to make sure that it was all split evenly and it was amazing.
