I have mentioned before being part of the Queen Baking Club on Facebook. Each fortnight they put up a challenge for the members to make. This week, they put up two. The first was for a Chocolate Salami and the other was for these Soft Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies. I made them for the sous chef to take for his team's morning tea and I ended up taking half. One of the reviews from my co workers was that these were the best thing I had ever taken in, which is a big call because I do take a lot of delicious baking into work.
Somewhere I saw that these are inspired by German Lebkuchen biscuits. There's a couple of other German recipes I am intending to try at some stage, most notably a Beesting cake.
I really want to be able to find this recipe next year so I am sharing it with all of you here too.
For this year though, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
Soft Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
100g butter
½ cup (180g) honey
2 tsp orange zest
1 tsp Queen Vanilla Bean Paste
1 large egg, lightly whisked
1 1/3 cup (200g) plain flour
¾ cup (75g) almond meal
¾ cup (75g) hazelnut meal
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup (110g) dark brown sugar, firmly packed
Pinch salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
150g milk chocolate
Pre-heat oven to 180°C (fan forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Combine butter and honey in a large saucepan over a medium heat until butter has melted. Set aside and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Add orange zest, Vanilla Bean Paste and egg to cooled honey mixture and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour honey mixture into flour mixture and mix to form a dough.
Roll heaped teaspoons into balls and place on prepared baking trays 5cm apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, allowing to cool on tray.
Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments in the microwave until melted. Dip face of cookies in melted chocolate then allow to set before serving.

This looks great to me, especially because it doesn't call for molasses, which I can never make work in any context!

ReplyDeleteWhoa, these look awesome. I love gingerbread and I bet this version is great with the nuts. Love your kitchen adventures!

ReplyDeleteMisery loved company this weekend. Sports comedy "Eddie the Eagle" and heist thriller "Triple 9" both failed to connect in their debuts.
"Eddie the Eagle," a Fox produced story about an unlikely Olympic athlete (Taron Egerton) face planted
to a paltry $6.3 million from 2,038 locations for a fifth place finish.
"Having a retailer broker her wardrobe choices also threw a proverbial veil over the unavoidable question of how much all these clothes would cost and who, ultimately, was paying for them," Betts writes.
"Presumably, Ikram would pay the designers, and the First Lady would pay Ikram. The arrangement allowed not only for privacy but also meant, potentially, that some of the more expensive pieces could be purchased at cost substantially less than the retail price.".

identify $150 million in inefficiencies, most of which could have been found internally.

wolf dildo Although we have dropped ours from about 2 feet onto
a metal vent cover, and it did not even chip, you never really know.
It measures about 7" plus or minus, so I would say that's about average in comparison to the male penis, so not too big and not too small. It has some awesome, little bumps on the sides which give added pleasure.. Yes, lubricated condoms do come with a bit of lube already on them, but it's an excellent idea to grab a bottle of Astroglide or KY or some other lube to use in addition to what's on the condom. There's really not much on the condoms, and the more lube you use, the better your chances are of avoiding condom breakage. And it feels better too. wolf dildo
sex toys (1) lip firmness. Your lips are really extraordinary. Just by speaking, they go through a cavalcade of shapes and firmness. If not, maybe your best bet is to focus on the bigger picture here, and figure out what those things are, since they're not likely to be about your penis. One other thing we can probably agree on is that a whole lot of men who get stuck in this way would probably feel a lot better who did. Sure, plenty of guys (I'm not so comfortable with "most" here, since I have a lot of reasons to suspect that isn't true, especially for men of all ages from diverse cultures and backgrounds) think the things, ignorantly, as you know, you're talking about here. sex toys
dog dildo I can remember sitting at the kitchen table with my mother. I had just told her I had something very important I needed to tell her. She had set aside time and was seated, looking expectantly at me, waiting to hear. People talk of the many ways one can masturbate, but so far nothing but clit stuff works, and that gets less and less effective. I'm worrie dthat i'm getting bored before I've even begun, and I'm all out of ideas. Plus, not as much seems to rev me up as it used to, and while I'm genrally straight when it comes to who I actually fancy, when it's fantasising it usually involves girls dog dildo.

First of all I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteI was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Thank you!

another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say. But
maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
