Peanut Butter Mug Cake

12/31/2015

0 Comments

 
.....I did it.

I did the impossible.

I tried, and I tried, and I tried. Normal people would have given up by now, but not me. I said "no." I said, "'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!' We're going to HAVE A DELICIOUS MUG CAKE!!!"

And by golly... we've done it. And this Peanut Butter Mug Cake... it's even gluten free.
Picture
Ingredients:
3 tbsp peanut butter (creamy)
1 tbsp + 1 tsp white granulated sugar
1 large egg

Add all ingredients to a mug and whisk together until smooth and completely incorporated.
Picture
Picture
Microwave for about 1 minute. Let cake cool a few minutes before eating.

Going....

Gone.

RP Servings: 1
Stars: FOUR STAAAARS!!!! FOUR! FOUR OF THEM!!! I ate it ALL! Because it was GOOD! People.... I thought that beating the formerly-evil cornstarch would be a moment impossible to beat. But it turns out, I was wrong. This... this is the moment we've been collectively holding our breath for. The whole blog has been worth it for this moment, right here. Thank you everybody... and goodnight.

Easy Ice Cream Sandwiches

12/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Did you know that ice cream sells better in the winter? Yeah, weird, huh? I love it pretty much any time, and vanilla is our go-to. We used to make ice cream sandwiches with Pepperidge Farm big (giant) cookies, which were delicious, especially with Java Chip ice cream.... But I digress. Now that I can't have gluten, I don't think I've had an ice cream sandwich in over 2 years. I think it's time to remedy that (the easy way - it's the holidays after all!), and this "recipe" (really a method) is just the thing.
Picture
INGREDIENTS
  • 6 scoops of your favorite ice cream
  • 1 dozen cookies (approximately 2-3 inches in diameter, if using another size, adjust ice cream amounts accordingly)
  • assortment of additions: sprinkles, nuts, crushed candy/candy bars, mini chocolate chips (get creative!)
Picture
If you're using cookie dough, bake your cookies to package directions. If you want a "cookie dough" thing going on with your sandwiches, slightly undercook them. I think freezing the cookies helps make the sandwiches - this way they're less likely to break, especially if they're semi-fragile gluten free ones.
Picture
Soften the ice cream until you can spread it. Put the desired amount between the cookies and make a sandwich. If you want something on the edges, press or roll that into the softened ice cream. Freeze - you can wrap them in plastic wrap if you aren't going to eat them all at once. (hahaha, right?!)

RP Servings: 1 sandwich per person

RATING: 4 stars
This is as good as your ingredients! Good cookies and ice cream will make a killer sandwich. These gluten free cookies aren't as good as the ones I usually get (these are also dairy free, and the ones I usually get aren't, but that's all they had), but they still made a great cookie/cookie dough vanilla ice cream sandwich.

Chocolate Dipped Oreos

12/26/2015

0 Comments

 
These no-bake Chocolate Dipped Oreos (number 3 on their list) are a fun treat to make if you have kids that want to cook with you. It's also fun if you don't have kids that want to cook with you. It's only 2 ingredients (plus sprinkles and chocolate varieties), and you don't have to deal with the oven or stove. I'd recommend the sprinkles, because... sprinkles.
Picture
Ingredients:
Oreo Cookies
12 oz. melting chocolate (wafers or almond bark)
Sprinkles (optional)


Put chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and melt chocolate in microwave, stirring every 20 seconds.
Picture
When melted, dip Oreos halfway or completely into chocolate and lay on waxed paper to harden. Add sprinkles if desired.
Picture
If you want, you can put them in the freezer for a few minutes to speed up the hardening process.
Picture
RP Servings: Completely up to you and how much you make. I just melted the rough amount of chocolate that I wanted, and dipped Oreos until I ran out of chocolate.
Stars: Both the white and the milk chocolate get 4 stars! You couldn't taste any difference between the ones with these particular sprinkles and the ones without, but it was fun to have them on there.  They were really, REALLY easy, and are one of those things that definitely seem more impressive than they are.

Snickers Snickerdoodles

12/18/2015

Yes, these Snickers Snickerdoodles are are our third dessert recipe in a row. It's December! Everyone wants more desserts in December! We're just catering to what you really wanted, deep down in your heart.
Picture
Ingredients:
Snickers
Snickerdoodle dough

They make their dough to package directions, but as mine was already complete, I just... let it be. Then chop up your Snickers.
Picture
Stir your Snickers into your snickerdoodle dough. Drop in rounded balls onto a greased cookie sheet.
Picture
Roll in cinnamon sugar.
Picture
Bake 8-10 minutes or until cookies are just set. Cool a minute or two on the baking sheet and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Picture
Stars: 3. They were... ok. Average. I made some of the snickerdoodles without the Snickers in it, and I actually liked the cookies without the Snickers more. With the Snickers they were slightly sweeter, but the occasional pieces of peanuts were odd.

Chewy Cookies and Cream Bars

12/17/2015

0 Comments

 
'Tis the season, which can only mean one thing- office treats. I'm not sure what happens, but the typical "no, I probably shouldn't eat that," turns into "BRING MORE PASTRIES INTO THIS OFFICE AT ALL COSTS." To help pacify the masses, I decided to try out some Chewy Cookies and Cream Bars.
Picture
Ingredients:
One 16 oz package of Oreo
5 cups Large Marshmallows
4 tablespoons butter

Place Oreos in the food processor/blender/magic bullet until they're ground up.
Picture
Picture
Melt marshmallows and butter in microwave until puffed, about 1 1/2- 2 minutes.
Picture
Picture
Working very quickly, pour in ground Oreos.  Stir to combine then transfer to a foil lined 8×8 inch baking pan. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Let set up for 10 minutes, and cut into bars.

RP Servings: 16 or so.
Stars: 1. It was actually inedible. It was hard as a rock, and when I was finally able to break apart a tiny smidgen to try it (the things I do for you people), it got stuck in my teeth the entire rest of the night until I vigorously brushed and flossed. (Yes, I also flossed because of you. FLOSSED.)
I can tell you the exact step where it went wrong- it was in the microwave. The original blog stated 1.5-2 minutes in the microwave. My microwave has way less wattage than most microwaves, so I did 2 minutes, which would be a bit less than 1.5 minutes in regular microwaves. You can see it slightly, but basically where the butter touched the bottoms of the marshmallows, it got burned. Which then threw the whole consistency off. I couldn't even stir all the cookies into the marshmallow, and I knew instantly it went wrong. With great hesitancy I would try it again, probably only microwaving 30 seconds at a time.
