Have I mentioned before that my daughter is an amazing cook? She makes the most delicious baked goods and is teaching my little grands to do the same. (and no, she didn't get it from me) I can't wait to see/taste what delicious treats she surprises me with each month! As she gifts them to me I'll post the recipes here so you can all be extremely jealous bake them and enjoy them too!!
The first batch were:
White Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies
Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 (3 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Sift together the
flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream
together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla, stirring
after each addition. Add the dry ingredients and mix until a stiff dough
forms. Separate 1/4 of the dough form the rest and set aside in a small
bowl. Add the nuts to the dough in the small bowl. Add the pudding mix
and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the large portion of dough; mix until
blended.
Roll the pudding
flavored dough into walnut sized balls, and place them 1 1/2 inches
apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten the balls using your hand
or the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Roll the dough from the small
bowl into marble sized balls, place 1 ball on top of each of the
flattened cookies. Then, on top of each cookie, place 1 of the white
chocolate chips.
Bake for 8 to 10
minutes in the preheated oven, or until cookies are set. Remove from the
baking sheet to cool on wire racks. When cool, dust with confectioners'
sugar if desired.
OMGoodness!!! YUM!! Slightly salty, not too sweet. I can understand why your hubby likes these cookies best! Thanks so much. I ate all of them in 4 days! ...and yes, I DO know I was very naughty! But really, can you blame me?? ;)
My June cookies were:
Honeyed Green Tea & Jasmine Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/3 Cup Honey
1/3 cup sugar
3 (2g) Green tea and jasmine tea bags
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 Cup Honey
1/3 cup sugar
3 (2g) Green tea and jasmine tea bags
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups white flour
1 tsp baking powder
Directions:
In a medium
bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, and honey until smooth. Empty the contents
of the tea bags into the mixture and discard the bags. Mix until well
blended. Stir in the egg yolk and extract. Blend in the flour
and baking powder. Divide into 3 sections, wrap in waxed paper or
plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the
oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). On a floured surface, roll out
one portion of the dough at a time to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2
inch round shapes using a cookie cutter. Place cookies onto ungreased
baking sheets spaced 1 inch apart.
Bake for 7 to
10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are dry, and the edges
begin to brown lightly. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Store in an
airtight container at room temperature when completely cooled.
Wow and Wow! Did you plan it that the cookies would just keep getting better? These were amazing! so delicate and delicious!! I'm happy to report I am pacing myself much better this month.... I hid them from myself in a Walmart bag in the freezer. I know where they are so I can get to them any time I want (I just ate TWO he he he) But I don't eat one every time I pass the kitchen table like I did last month when I left them there in their pretty decorative box. :) Imagine my surprise when 4 days later I went for one and they were all gone! LOL
