This one is for you B!

One of the things my sister misses about being across the pond is Sweetzels (spiced wafer cookies, it’s a Philadelphia tradition). They remind me of munching on them at Halloween with hot apple cider or a with a tall glass of milk on Thanksgiving Eve. I decided to alter a recipe I found and was quite impressed.

Ingredients: 2 c. flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 2 Tbs. butter, 1/2 c. molasses, 1/4 c. dark brown sugar, 2 Tbs. vegetable oil, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. ground cloves, 1/2 tsp allspice

Directions: In a saucepan over low heat, melt together butter, sugar, molasses and oil. Stirring until sugar is dissolved. Let cool five minutes, the mix in spices and baking soda. Slowly mix in flour. Refrigerate over night, this allows the flavors to marry. Bring to room temperature before rolling. Roll out dough as thin as possible on a floured surface. Use a cookie cutter to cut cookies and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Cookies should be crisp. Allow to cool on wire rack before enjoying.

This is my favorite cookie to eat with a glass of milk. Enjoy!

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! The entire world loves chocolate (except for my Pumpkin)… I love dark chocolate. Chocolate cake, chocolate pie, chocolate pudding, I’ve even been known to eat a square of baking chocolate. I’ve used and modified many chocolate cookie recipes and this is my favorite.

Ingredients: 3/4 c. melted butter, 1/2 c. dark cocoa powder, 1 c. dark brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 Tbsp. vanilla, 2 c. flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 c. sugar
Directions:
Mix together butter, cocoa, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly stir flour mixture into chocolate batter half a cup at a time. Cover bowl and refrigerate for a few hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough into 1″ balls and roll in sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove cookies from tray and place on a cooling rack.
*Usually I bake chocolate with almond extract instead of vanilla, but this recipe I actually used vanilla extract.
Hubster was standing over the oven with a jar of peanut butter in hand, waiting to spread it on the warm cookies.
What flavor do you like the best paired with chocolate?

I don’t normally post more than once per day, but I had a few email requests for my sugar cookie recipe to use as a base for the Fruit Pizza. Sugar cookies are a tasty classic that can be fun to decorate.
