Homemade Brussels Cookies


Rob has been begging me for years to try my hand at making homemade Brussels cookies, I've always been intimidated by the delicate cookies, assuming they'd be difficult to make. But, when I googled a recipe I was shocked that they didn't seem too hard. And believe me, they weren't! The hardest part was scooping out the dough one tiny teaspoon at a time.

I was also shocked at how much these tasted like store-bought Brussels. Delicate, rich, delicious!!

Aside from Oat Bran, the ingredient list is all pantry staples, and it's not like Oat Bran is hard to find! Just not something I normally have laying around. Once I finally remembered to buy some, I had to make up some cookies!

Homemade Brussels Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons honey
7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons milk
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325* and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper

In a bowl, cream the butter, sugar and honey until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and milk.

Sift together the flour, oat bran, baking powder and salt. Mix the dry ingredients in to the butter and sugar on low until well blended.

Scoop 1 teaspoon rounds and place on the prepared sheets. Leave at least 3 inches between cookies as they WILL spread! Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the cookies are golden around the edges.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute. Carefully remove to a wire rack and cool completely. They will flatten as they cool.

When ready to assemble, warm the chocolate in your microwave on in a double boiler (or about an inch of simmering water in a saucepan, topped with a metal bowl. Once the chocolate is melted, spread evenly over the flat half of the cookies, topping with the other half of the cookies to get sandwiches! Allow to cool before eating.

    Hey just a quick note to say that your recipe says "white whole wheat bread" instead of "white whole wheat flour". :)

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
