Day 27 ~ Post my fave recipe:

My favourite recipe is definitely my Cocoa Mocha Quenelles recipe. They’re rich and chocolate-y and oh so yummy. ❤

Every once in a while I like to re-visit my favourite recipes, and give them a little tweak. My latest recipe to receive an adjustment is my Cocoa-Mocha Quenelles recipe. I originally shared it on April 3, 2012, in a post called “Come to the Dark Side – We have Cookies! Cocoa-Mocha Quenelles.” My Elflings ask me to make these cookies if I haven’t made them for a while, and remind me exactly how long it’s been since I’d made them last. Their epic mathiness is well-played in this respect. So, without further ado, I will get to the redux aspect of our favourite recipe. ;0)

Cocoa-Mocha Quenelles – Redux

2 C unbleached flour* (wheat, rice, quinoa, buckwheat, etc)

1 tsp baking powder*

1 tsp sea salt

2 Tbsp cocoa*

1 Tbsp cornstarch*

1 C butter* 

¾ C brown sugar*

½ C sugar*

3 tsp En-R-G egg replacer

8 Tbsp strong decaf coffee* (or caffeinated, your choice)

2 tsp vanilla* extract

* = Organic

∴ Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas Mark 5. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and cornstarch to a medium-sized bowl. Stir with a whisk to blend, and set aside. In a larger bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Blend in egg replacer, coffee, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until well-blended. drop by teaspoonful (or shape into elegant quenelles) onto an un-greased cookie sheet, about 1″ apart. Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Makes approximately 3 dozen. Enjoy! ❤

Holiday Cookies ♥

My Elflings and I made a bunch of sugar cookies today in mitten and snowflake shapes. We kept the colours simple, and stayed with white and blue. It was great! ♥

I used my favourite Awesome Sugar Cookies recipe and iced them with the same Icing recipe from the Mosaicake. ♥

My Elfling’s Best Cookies

Hooray for creativity and making a cookie recipe our English/Maths/Science lesson for today. My Elflings worked cooperatively to make these cookies, and managed to double the recipe as I had requested. They did an awesome job. ♥
