Intriguing Cookie Creations

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

If you or your family are bored with eating the same cookies why not try something a little different? Say goodbye to your Oatmeal and raisin or Chocolate Chip, not that I could ever give up the latter completely, and be a bit more inventive.

I’m also open to new ideas and suggestions though, and am willing to try anything. It’s only by mixing and matching and playing around that you can discover new delights.

There are a few new cookie recipes that I gave a chance recently, and they were really tasty. Here are some of them for you to try; you may find a new favorite for yourself or your family.

One clever idea that I think you will enjoy is using a cake mix to make your cookies from. They even crack like shop bought cookies and taste brilliant, and there are so many flavors to experiment with.

These next cookies come from peanut butter dough and contain butter cups, like the ones Reese’s make. Either buy or make your dough and make the cookies as normal. When they come out of the oven push a butter cup into each cookie, you get the idea.

In my opinion, White chocolate is a very neglected ingredient, until now. My combining this with Cranberries I have created a cookie that looks good, tastes good and that I can’t make enough of as they go so fast! You know you’ve hit on a winner when your friends keep asking you to make more.

A sweet and tasty treat using cherry, chocolate chips and buttered toffee is my last idea today. Just chuck them into your mixture and prepare your taste buds for a real treat.

I hope my ideas have inspired you to try some of your own, or even take my suggestions and add your own twist to them. Making cookies is a lot of fun, and inventing new ones that turn out to be winners is very satisfying.

3 Creative Desserts

Monday, June 28th, 2010

I’ve been making desserts my whole life, but sometimes I simply run out of ideas. Thanks to the Internet, there’s never a shortage of creative dessert dishes to make.

Whether it’s a hot cake or some cold ice cream, there are so many desserts in this world to enjoy. I know that I’ve had my share of them, but here are a few that I’ve just recently tried.

I’m going to help you out by giving you a few suggestions that I believe will appeal to you. Take a look at these, and look online for different ways to make these, as I know there are a ton of them.

First and foremost, white chocolate mousse is a rich, delicious treat that presents itself as a nice change from the usual. If you’ve never had it before, I suggest that you give this one a shot.

While it tastes great on its own, it never hurts to add some more ingredients here, as things like caramel, syrups, and more all go really well with this dish.

A second dessert dish that goes over really well at parties is the ice cream martini. You’re basically serving ice cream inside a martini glass, which looks much more appealing than ice cream in a cup or a bowl.

The best thing to do here is to add some ingredients that essentially make it look like a parfait would look. From there, you have an ice cream sundae in a much more refined dish.

Lastly, there’s the mango rose filled with ice cream. This has it all. It has the aesthetics, the great taste, and even some fruit for health benefits. Believe it or not, it’s pretty easy to shape the mango as you need to here.

From there, you’ll put some ice cream inside the mango, which makes for a beautiful presentation and a tasty dessert.
