Christmas Bake-your-face-off Part II
Yesterday was our last group training session of the 2011 season and I took the liberty of sending everyone off with sweet memories! They worked their butts off yesterday so these treats were well-deserved folks :)
My friend Mé came over yesterday and helped me make these two recipes.... It reminded me that the only thing better than baking is baking with friends!
Thanks Mé xxxooo
Chewy Gingersnaps
3/4 cup soft butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
Roll into a big ball and refrigerate the whole thing for an hour (or just keep the dough in the fridge and bake individual cookies when you want them so they're always fresh!).
Roll into 1'' balls and roll them into sugar (optional) and place on cookie sheet. Squish em down a bit with either a fork or your thumb.
Bake at 350F for 10min
Enjoy-Mmmmmmm
Pumpkin Nut Bread
1 cup fresh or canned pumpkin
2 cups flour (Whole or mix of both... whatever you prefer)
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped nuts or raisins (I use walnuts if I'm using nuts!)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Put the batter into a nice big bread pan and bake at 350F for about 45min
Enjoy with nice hot gingerbread latte - aMAZing!!!!
I like to Bake... A LOT! And Christmas time is no exception to this and at a time when people are racking their brains to find that ''prefect'' gift I simply give the gift of ''Deliciousness"!!!
