Mexican Wedding Cookies

June 18, 2017 0



These cookies have a crumbly, buttery, nutty texture that just melts in your mouth. Like I said: completely irresistible.
The soft, melt-away texture of Mexican Wedding cookies is thanks to a rich, buttery dough and lots of crushed nuts. These cookies don’t have egg to bind them, so they’re crumbly instead of chewy. This makes them more like shortbread than, say, sugar cookies.
Those crushed nuts in the dough also give these cookies their addictive flavor. Though I’ve tried these cookies with crushed almonds and crushed walnuts, for me, pecans are the way to go.
Definitely take the extra step to toast your nuts before mixing the dough. It seems fussy, but toasting really does help boost the flavor of the nuts and give the cookies the best nutty flavor.

    Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

    June 18, 2017 0



    The ingredient list for these cookies may seem daunting, but don’t worry. You probably already have most of the spices in your spice drawer, and the others are easy to find at the grocery store.
    The whole recipe comes together quickly, but keep in mind that you’ll need to chill the dough for a minimum of 2 hours before shaping the cookies into balls, plus another 20 minutes of chilling before baking them. The dough is soft and you need to chill it to be able to handle it.
    Trust me: one bite of these soft, chewy cookies and you’ll realize they are well worth any amount of fuss!

    Prep time: 15 minutes
    Cook time: 12 minutes
    Chilling time: 2 hours
    Yield: 24 cookies
     
    Make sure to use dark, full, or robust molasses, but avoid blackstrap molasses. It will give the cookies an overwhelming bitter flavor.

    Ingredients :

    • 1/2 cup (115 g or 1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 1/2 cup (110 g) packed dark brown sugar
    • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 cup (150 g) dark, full, or robust molasses (not "blackstrap")
    • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
    • 1 1/2 cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa
    • 1 cup (200 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) white granulated sugar, for rolling the cookies
