 Soft Molasses Cookies

You have to try this recipe. Especially if you long for a soft molasses cookie you probably had as a child. They are great on their own as a large cookie that fits your whole hand, or made smaller to tease the taste buds. I have put a spicey buttercream in between and turned them into a mini molasses woopie pie. It was so good. 



Ingredients:

Sugar                                     1 cup

Shortening                          ½ cup

Butter                                   ½ cup

Molasses                             1 cup

Egg                                         1 lg

Cream these above ingredients

Dissolve 2 teaspoons baking soda in ½ cup hot water

All purpose Flour              4 ½ cups              

Salt                                         1 tsp

Cinnamon                           2 tsp

Ground Ginger                  1 tsp

Ground Cloves                  1 tsp

1 ½ tsp instant coffee

Sift dry ingredients

Add both dry ingredients and baking soda water to creamed ingredients and mix together.

Scoop onto a parchment lined baking sheet. A cookie scoop works well for these. No need to shape as they shape round as they bake.

Bake 350F or 190C 15-20 mins.    Cool and enjoy!

Closest thing to a Walnut Crunch.

 Good things come from experiments! A walnut crunch Sconut for example. Here we have a would be chocolate scone that has turned into a little walnut delight. I cannot call it a scone or a walnut chrunch as I believe Tim Horton's has the rights to it so we can call it a Sconut.  Half scone and half walnut crunch donut. I had a chocolate scone from Cobs Bakery and wanted to make one. When just substituting 1/4 of the flour with cocoa, I found the chocolate scone too dry and not sweet enough. After uping the sugar, butterand creams then trying again it dawned on me it tasted much like the beloved walnut crunch Tim Horton's no longer sells. I added a full cup of chopped lightly toasted walnuts and put a glaze on top and voila! We have a copycat! Here is the recipe: Chocolate Walnut Scones   Preheat to 425F or 218C All Purpose Flour                                                               265 gm Cocoa     Sifted

  Cinnamon Raisin Bread  I love making this bread near a holiday season. Doesn't matter which holiday. You can tell there is enough raisins as they have popped right out of the bread. Any time possible I also substitute a portion of the raisins for dried cranberries. Hoping you enjoy this recipe. It takes a bit more time to rise because of the eggs and milk so be patient with the dough. There is plenty to keep us busy during a holiday so don't worry about getting it done then checking on your bread.  If you do have to move it along some, for the second rise you can place the shaped dough in the oven with the oven light on and place a pan of hot water on the lower shelf to make a home made proofer. Remember to remove the pan before baking your bread.
