Spicy Peanut Butter Cookies for #HandCraftedEdibles

By

In an effort to make all of my holiday gifts this year, my blogging friends and I are sharing recipes for hand-crafted edibles. Over the course of twelve weeks, we've been sharing recipes that you can make at home to give to friends and loved ones, or things to serve at holiday parties.

It's hard to believe we're at week 11. We hope you'll follow along for inspiration. You can find out more information, including the schedule: here.

This week, we are bringing you inspiration for your holiday cookie trays. Have you started with you holiday baking yet?

Thanksgiving weekend, my Kitchen Elves and I baked four different kinds of cookies. So. Much. Fun.



Our #HandCraftedEdibles Cookie Tray...

Next week - week 12 and our final week - is all about wrapping. How to label those jarred mixes. How to mail cookies safely. How to....

My Cookie...
Last year I was inspired by the Chocolate Chili Dipped Sriracha Peanut Butter Cookies that I received from Awesome with Sprinkles for the #FBCookieSwap. Click to read more about that event: here.

My Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf liked them so much that he asked if Heidi could send some for his birthday dinner party. Ummmm...no. But she did send the recipe. Ours is slightly adapted. I skipped the dipping and I used some homemade hot sauce from a friend.

Ingredients makes approximately 30 cookies
  • 1 stick (1/2 C) butter, softened
  • 3/4 C creamy peanut butter
  • 1 C organic granulated sugar
  • 2 T hot sauce (homemade or some kind of Sriracha)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 C flour
  • 1/2 t baking powder
  • 3/4 t baking soda
  • more organic granulated sugar, for rolling

Procedure
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter and sugar. Slowly add in hot sauce, egg, and vanillaextract. Beat until well-combined.

In larger mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Gently fold flour mixture into peanut butter mixture until completely moistened. Press it into a ball, then let chill for at least an hour.

During the last 15 minutes of chilling, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Scoop a tablespoon-sized piece of dough and roll into a ball. Dip ball into granulated sugar and place onto cookie sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern. 


Bake for 9 to 11 minutes - or just until the cookies begin to brown. You don't want to over-bake them as they harden while they cool.

    These sound delicious Cam. I would never have thought of adding hot sauce to my peanut butter cookies.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
