Chocolate Peanut Butter Macarons

I can remember the first time that I tasted this delicious treat back when I was younger with my mom. I have always been thankful for great taste in food because it has led me to some of the very best things. They have a surprising chewy center that just melts in your mouth. I have always been scared to try these because of its exactness, but today felt like the perfect day to get after it. And let me tell you they were amazing! I am certainly guilty when it comes to just taking a glimpse at the directions, but I promise this is something you will want to be sure to do. There are some important tips for making the perfect macarons, so make sure to read them over. Weigh Ingredients – This is one of the most important rules when making macarons. I use a small food scale to weigh all the ingredients in grams to be sure they are precise. Mine is a Ozeri Food Scale that you can get from Amazon. Age your egg whites – This is the reason behind the texture of true macaron. You can do this the night before by putting the egg

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Hands down my favorite two desserts are cinnamon rolls and cookies… so why not put them together, right?? These cookies were fun and simple, plus I could hardly snap a few pictures of them before they disappeared from the plate. Cream cheese frosting is probably my favorite because of how creamy the texture is and it has just the right flavor. It really added that extra touch to getting the perfect cinnamon roll in a cookie. One thing that is really important is “Why chill the dough?” There have been a lot of people who think this is unnecessary and others who don’t make a cookie without it. My preference is that is depends on the cookie you are baking, but the reason for chilling the dough is because it stops the cookies from spreading. So you know when you get a cookie that looks like it just melted all over the pan?? That is because the dough was too warm. A few minutes to chill would plump those right up. I can’t wait to hear what you all think of these delicious cookies! IngredientsCookies1 cup unsalted butter (softened)1 cup sugar2 eggs1 Tbsp. vanilla3 cups flour3 tsp. baking powder2 tsp.
