Cookie experiment

Making:

Playing around with gluten-free sugar cookie mix to make chocolate cookies.

Here's what I have:

Immaculate honestly delicious Gluten-free sugar cookie mix

2 eggs

1 pack Cream cheese

1 stick Butter

1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate powder

10 Dove dark chocolate candies, chopped

1/4 cup Walnut

1 tbsp Vanilla

*The butter, cream cheese and egg were all at room temp before starting.

First I put the candy and walnuts in a food processor and chopped it all up to make a crumbly mixture. For the rest I used a hand mixer and spatula.

Next the cream cheese, butter and eggs were mixed until blended, the tbsp of vanilla was then added.

The chocolate powder and cookie mix were added until a thick whipped batter was formed.

Last the chocolate/walnut crumble was mixed in using a spatula until well blended.

To bake I used a small convection oven at 350 degrees non convection. Bake for 10 mins.

The cookies!

These have a light, very cake like consistency and aren't very sweet. I was shooting for this because I normally pair cookies with a sweet drink.

To add sweetness one of the following would work:

*2-3 tbsp maple syrup

*1/4 cup Sugar

*1/4 cup Sweet/Milk chocolate, tempered

- to replace the coco powder.

If any of the following are added you just need to make sure you mix until the whipped consistency is reached. You could also dust them with confectioners sugar after baking.

I've done a similar cookie using GF cake mix as well that version typically doesn't need additional sugar.

I store the batter in the fridge and bake a few cookies daily over the span of a week.

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato Kale Italian chicken sausage mix Chili flake Yellow onion Italian seasoning Chicken stock concentrate Parmesan cheese Not used: Demi baguette The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through. Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
