Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookie
When I was a young one I loved putting marshmallows into chocolate chip cookie dough because when they finished baking and were all cooled off there would be these pockets of sweet, chewy, kinda hard like goodness in every bite. It also made for a cool and shiny effect that I liked. Needless to say it’s been A LONG time since I’ve been able to use marshmallows in my baking. I’m happy to say that I’ll never have to wait that long again! I finally spied Dandie’s Marshmallows at one of my two local Whole Foods! Upon sight of them at the store I nearly squeeled like some nut job but kept my cool as not to embarrass Reno.
I finally broke into one of the 3 bags I purchased (total nut job) and knew that the first thing I would make would be my beloved Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies. I used the recipe from the Babycakes cookbook and then just pressed one or two marshmallows on top of the dough. I didn’t want to mix it in since I didn’t know how it would come out and I couldn’t see ruining a whole batch of my favorite choco chip cookie recipe. Next time I will definitely add them to the mix so they can spread out and goo up my cookies like I liked them as a kid.
5 Minute Coconut Fudge
I went to a dessert potluck for my local vegan’s group and wanted to make something easy and something that I’ve never made before so I settled on My Sweet Vegan’s 5 Minute Coconut Fudge. Dessert really can’t get any easier then this. Super simple and also delicious and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t really care for fudge. It went over really well at the party and at home so I have a feeling recipients of my now annual Holiday Dessert Boxes will be seeing this fudge in there.
