Triple Nut Butter Bourbon Cookies

By
This is how inspiration works in my kitchen. Last night, it resulted in these cookies. I was dubious that the ingredients would actually result in a cookie, but they did!


One of my best friends emailed me this photo. Another one of his friends had scribbled this down at swim practice. The only words in the email: "If you want to try…they are soooooo goooooooood!!!" Okay. Sold.

So, I went to the website she references and found a slightly different recipe. Then, because I can't follow a recipe to save my life - well, I probably could to save my life - I slightly adapted it. I used three different kinds of nut butter, swapped out the vanilla for bourbon, and added hemp seeds.


Ingredients
  • 1/2 C bourbon pecan peanut butter (I bought mine at Mouth)
  • 1/2 C raw almond butter
  • 1/2 C raw peanut butter
  • 1/2 C honey (I used pine honey)
  • 1 T bourbon
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • ½ t baking soda
  • 2 T hemp seeds
  • 1 T instant coffee
  • 1/3 C semi-sweet chocolate chips



Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone mats.

In a large bowl, mix nut butters, honey, bourbon, eggs, baking soda, hemp seeds, and instant coffee until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.

Use a scoop and place the batter 1-1/2" apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cook cookies on the sheet for 5 to 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool.


And there you have it - gluten-free, honey-sweetened cookies in less than 30 minutes. Sweet.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
