Maple Bacon Cupcakes

Note: I received a bottle of Nielsen-Massey’s Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract in order to write this post. All opinions are mine alone. #BetterYourBake

How is it already nearly October? Every fall, time seems to speed up and the months for the rest of the year just fly by! With so much happening in the fall, it makes sense that it feels like things are in fast forward. But it’s important to take the time to step back and do something you enjoy amid all the chaos.Maple Bacon Cupcakes

Nielsen-Massey was nice enough to remind me of that, and sent me a bottle of their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to do what I love: bake! Recent studies have shown that creative activities, such as baking, help people feel more relaxed and happier in their everyday lives.

But in order to benefit from the mindful nature of baking, basic techniques must first be mastered. To help learn some new baking tricks, Nielsen-Massey has developed “Better Your Bake,” which delivers technique-based videos, tips and tools to help home bakers learn and master the basics of baking with the help of Nielsen-Massey products.

I was asked to show off my newest learned skill after watching some of Nielsen-Massey’s videos: how to temper chocolate. It takes some effort, but it’s easier than an initially thought!

  • Tempering chocolate is typically used for special occasions and results in a smooth, glossy chocolate coating that dries shiny and has a crisp snap
  • The process involves divvying and melting a portion of the chocolate, stirring in the reserved chocolate and heating the whole batch to the required temperature
  • Tempered chocolate is great for cake pops, fruit, candy molds and more

So, what could be better than chocolate covered bacon? This recipe, from Nielsen-Massey’s website, originally developed by Pastry Chef Jessica Ellington, is for Maple Bacon Cupcakes, topped with a maple buttercream frosting, crumbled bacon, and a half slice of chocolate dipped bacon. And yes, they are every bit as delicious as you are imagining!

Nielsen-Massey has a bunch of videos that are helpful for this recipe, so I’ve linked to them throughout the post.

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crispy
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), room temperature

Smores Cookies

Note: I was sent OXO’s 8-Piece POP Container Baking Set in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.

Have you picked up on my love of S’mores yet? 🙂 As a city girl, I don’t get the opportunity to enjoy an actual s’mores over an open fire very often, so I love creating the same flavors at home in baked goods and other treats. So you know I jumped on the opportunity to make a batch of Marc Murphy’s Smores Cookies to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.

Every year, OXO makes a commitment to donate up to $100,000 to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, donating $100 for every blog post (like this one). In order to help me make this post, OXO sent over their new 8-Piece POP Container Baking Set.

I have been using POP Containers for years, and couldn’t wait to use the new and improved versions! As always, the POP containers are a must-have to keep your pantry organized. The clear containers are airtight, stackable, space-efficient, and the new versions are completely dishwasher safe! I use POP containers for everything from my baking supplies to grains, lentils, dried beans… you name it! The 8 piece baking set includes two 0.4 qt containers (great for baking powder, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, etc.), one 1.1 qt container (perfect for brown sugar), and two 4.4 qt containers (sized to fit 5 lb bags of flour and sugar), along with some other baking-centric goodies: two 1/2 cup scoops that secure to the underside of the lids and a brown sugar terracotta saver that keeps brown sugar soft and clump-free. Besides now being completely dishwasher safe, another upgrade is the handy fill line, so you don’t overfill your POP containers.

I couldn’t wait to fill up my new POP containers. I used the 4.4 quart containers for flour and sugar (I clearly need to add sugar to my grocery list!), and added the 1/2 cup measuring scoops to the containers. I filled the 1.1 quarter container with light brown sugar, and, after soaking the Brown Sugar Saver in water for 15 minutes, secured it to the underside of the lid.

Lastly, I filled the 0.4 quart containers with baking soda (hooray! no more worrying about the potency of my open baking soda!) and my graham cracker crumbs.

I adjusted the original recipe just a bit, so visit this link if you’d like to see the original.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cup (5 ½ ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (3 ¾ ounces) graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons (6 ounces, or 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (3 ½ ounces) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (3 ounces) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup mini marshmallows

Tahini Millionaire Bars

Before I share the recipe for these absolutely amazing Tahini Millionaire Bars, I first wanted to describe what a traditional Millionaire Bar is. Millionaire Bars, or Millionaire Shortbread, are layered bars consisting of shortbread, caramel, and chocolate.

I love making millionaire bars as a make ahead dessert for parties.

Recently, I was experimenting with the concept of millionaire bars, but wanted to try to incorporate a new flavor into the mix – tahini!

Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds and has a consistency a bit thinner than peanut butter. The nutty flavor works great with chocolate and caramel!

This recipe for Tahini Millionaire Bars also uses almond flour to bring out even more nuttiness, so these bars are also gluten free!

Ingredients:

Almond Flour Crust:

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Tahini Caramel:

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • ½ cup tahini paste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 (12 oz) bags semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies

Not going to lie. I never thought I’d post a recipe for lactation cookies on my blog. (And no, I haven’t hidden the pregnancy and birth of my first child from you. I made a batch of these cookies, or more correctly, the cookie dough, for my sister-in-law.) But, here I am sharing a recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies.

So, why am I sharing these? Because they are GOOD. Like. Really good. Also, these are perfectly acceptable to have even when you’re not nursing. (What? I had to sample them before giving them as a gift!) But if you want other cookie options, I have plenty to choose from as well!

Oats, brewers yeast and wheat germ are ingredients that not only promote lactation, but have a bunch of other great benefits:

  • Brewer’s yeast helps maintain a proper digestive tract while also enhancing energy and strengthening the immune system. It’s also a source of protein, potassium, iron, zinc and magnesium.
  • Wheat germ is a good source of magnesium, zinc, potassium, folic acid, and vitamin E. It also can boost your immunity, reduce the risk of heart disease, and help maintain a healthy weight.
  • Oats are high in fiber and iron, protein and complex carbohydrates.

After that lesson, I think we all deserve a little treat!

Ingredients – makes about 2 dozen cookies (get all ingredients here):

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons brewers yeast
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (I like to use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate chips)

Cookies and Cream Donut Milkshakes

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I had the opportunity to try a featured milkshake at Bassett’s Ice Cream using Tastykake’s new Cookies and Crème Mini Donuts.

The donuts are the first offering from Tastykake Scoop Shop™, an ice cream-inspired line of sweet snacks. Scoop Shop Cookies & Crème Mini Donuts are available everywhere Tastykake is sold for $2.99 per 9.5oz bag or $1.79 for the six-count single serve option.

The Scoop Shop line features fan favorite ice cream flavors in sweet snack form and will be launched in two phases, the first already available, with phase two planned for late April. Leveraging trends in the snacking category, Tastykake Scoop Shop explores the crossover of two sweet snacks by borrowing flavor and forms from different categories. The first Scoop Shop item, Cookies & Crème Mini Donuts, blends one of the brand’s top-selling product types with a proven favorite ice cream flavor. And they really nailed it, the donuts really do taste like cookies and cream! Phase two combines mint chocolate chip ice cream flavor with a creme-filled cookie for the Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich (um, YUM), so be on the look out for those in late April. The new treats create a fun snacking experience that ice cream and sweet snack lovers will appreciate.

To help celebrate the launch in its hometown, Tastykake partnered with another Philadelphia icon and the nation’s oldest ice cream company – Bassetts Ice Cream – a full-service frozen dessert distributor. I was thrilled to try this partnership from two brands with tons of Philadelphia history, more than 250 years of combined history in Philly! I headed over to Reading Terminal Market (fun fact: my husband and I were actually married in Reading Terminal) to try the limited-edition milkshake item. Kirby the Krimpet, the Tastykake mascot, even made an appearance!

The milkshakes are made with Bassetts’ cookies and cream ice cream, chunks of Tastykake’s Cookies & Crème Mini Donuts, and chocolate syrup, topped with whipped cream and garnished with a Cookies & Crème Donut. The shakes are sold at Bassetts’ original retail location in Reading Terminal Market for a limited time.

I swear they made these Donuts and milkshakes just for me, Cookies and Cream is my favorite! So naturally, I wanted to try to make my own version at home, this recipe for Cookies and Cream Donut Milkshakes. I picked up two pints of Bassetts’ cookies and cream ice cream, a bag of Tastykake Cookies & Crème Mini Donuts, milk, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream, and I was ready to go!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups Bassetts Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 6 Tastykake Cookies & Crème Mini Donuts, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • Whipped cream, to taste

Italian Fig Cookies (Cuccidati)

Tomorrow, March 19th, is the Feast of St. Joseph, an important feast day in Italy or more specifically, Sicily. St. Joseph is particularly important to Sicilians, because he is credited with preventing a famine in Sicily during the Middle Ages through prayer. Each year, a large feast is prepared in his honor. Desserts typically include Zeppoli and Italian Fig Cookies.

Italian Fig Cookies, or Cuccidati, also tend to show up around Christmastime, so they are more of a “celebratory” cookie than linked to any specific holiday.

I wasn’t ready to conquer Zeppoli just yet, so I thought I’d try Italian Fig Cookies! This recipe is based off a recipe from Epicurious.

Ingredients:

Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 6 tablespoons brandy
  • 4 teaspoons orange juice
  • 2 cups chopped dried figs
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • the zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces

Glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup milk, or as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Optional:

  • sprinkles, for decoration

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies

I don’t eat many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches these days. But on the rare occasion that I make myself one, I’m in heaven. There are few combinations as good as sweet jelly and salty peanut butter! Which is why I’m so excited to share this recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies!

I have a recipe for peanut butter cookies passed down from my great grandmother that I make every Christmas. So when I had a recent craving for PBJ, I figured a cookie version of it would be a fantastic adaptation! The cookie recipe below is based off of my great grandmother’s original recipe but is adapted slightly (I’m pretty sure peanut butter chips didn’t exist when she made this recipe!) And if you’re looking for other yummy cookie recipes, you can find plenty here!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 2 (12 oz) jars jelly of your choice (I went with blackberry jelly. Feel free to use your favorite flavor)

Citrus Poppy Seed Pound Cake

My mom’s birthday was earlier this week and I wanted to make her a treat to celebrate. She might be citrus’ biggest fan, so I knew I had to incorporate a couple of citrus components into it. This Citrus Poppy Seed Pound Cake was the result!

Chewy Gingerbread Cookies

I’m hoping you’ll allow me to post one more cookie recipe this season. These Chewy Gingerbread Cookies are too good to not post!

Every year, my mom and I bake multiple cookie recipes to give to friends and family. While there are some that we bake every year, (like these Hot Cocoa Cookies), we try to make a new cookie each time. After many years of trying to make gingerbread cookies and failing at the decorating part, we decided to try making gingerbread cookies instead.

This recipe makes a wonderfully soft and chewy cookie all with the yummy flavors of gingerbread.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons sugar

Chocolate Pumpkin Rugelach

I love the combination of chocolate and pumpkin together. So when I was trying to think of an update to a traditional cookie, my mind went right to these flavors, which brings me to this recipe for Chocolate Pumpkin Rugelach.

Rugelach are the perfect cookies for this combo. Traditional rugelach uses an apricot spread that is sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, walnuts, and raisins, and then rolled into a spiral. The pumpkin butter takes the place of the apricot spread, and mini chocolate chips are substituted in for the walnuts and raisins.

 

I based this recipe off the recipe I used in my Apricot and Raisin Rugelach post last month, based off a recipe from American Cookie: The Snaps, Drops, Jumbles, Tea Cakes, Bars & Brownies That We Have Loved for Generations.

 

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room  temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough

Pumpkin Butter:

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • the juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice if you have it)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (10 oz) bag mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pumpkin butter (recipe above)

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 teaspoon water

Apricot and Raisin Rugelach

Note: I was sent a copy of AMERICAN COOKIE: The Snaps, Drops, Jumbles, Tea Cakes, Bars & Brownies That We Have Loved for Generations for review. Opinions are mine alone.

Every cookie recipe has a back story, from the chocolate chip cookie to thumbprint cookies. What’s truly interesting about these back stories is how they align with the shaping of American baking through the generations. I love cookbooks that provide a back story to the recipes, like AMERICAN COOKIE: The Snaps, Drops, Jumbles, Tea Cakes, Bars & Brownies That We Have Loved for Generations by Anne Bryn. Did you know that the first snickerdoodle cookie recipes were actually bars? Or that the first Girl Scout Cookies were baked at home to help raise money to send girls to camp?

Source: Penguin Random House

I assume I’m not alone in associating different recipes with different parts of my own life. I can’t look at a Peanut Butter Cookie without thinking of my family’s recipe, passed down from my great grandmother, or snack on a Neiman Marcus “$250” cookies without recalling many December weekends spent making them with my mom as a child.

I was first introduced to rugelach cookies — a cookie made by rolling a triangle of dough around a sweet filling — by my mother-in-law. She makes them every Christmas and has since my husband was little. So when I saw a recipe for Apricot and Raisin Rugelach in AMERICAN COOKIE, I knew I had to try them as a nod to my mother-in-law’s fantastic baking every December. This recipe differs from my mother-in-law’s version but the general idea is still there.

Rugelach cookies were first brought to America from Austrian-Hungarian immigrants, and has over time been adapted and modernized by Jewish-American bakers. Apparently, the original dough was quite time consuming to make. Somewhere along the line, cream cheese was added to rugelach dough, resulting in an easy to work with and flaky dough. Rugelach cookies have become a staple in many American households, and typically include raisins, nuts, spices and jam or preserves as a filling.

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room  temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough

Filling:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 cup apricot preserves

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 teaspoon water

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

I’ve mentioned before that my husband is an avid runner. He’s currently training for a marathon, so I’ve been trying to support his training with more food geared toward fueling him both before and after his runs. It’s important to fuel up with  something protein rich after working out to help promote muscle recovery.

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies are a yummy choice after a long run, while still satisfying my husband’s sweet tooth.

The cookies are made with peanut butter, protein powder and almond flour, so they are surprisingly filling too.

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder (paid link)

Smores Bars

I come from a fairly large family. Growing up, my cousins and I would see each other nearly every Sunday for dinner at our grandparents. As we’ve gotten older, we clearly don’t have as many opportunities to see each other. So we decided to have a cousin barbecue for those of us that still live in the Philadelphia area.

Whenever I think of outdoor cooking, I naturally think of S’mores for dessert.

Because I was hosting, I wanted to pre-make as much of the food as I could, so I decided to make Smores Bars for us to enjoy!

These are super easy, and absolutely addicting!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (12 oz) bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 60-70 full-size marshmallows (about 1 1/2 10-ounce bags)

Cherry Slab Pie

Note: I was sent Northwest Cherries in order to write this post. All opinions are mine alone.

When it comes to summer get togethers, there tend to be plenty of mouths to feed. So I’m a big fan of crowd recipes that feed multiple people, or allow you to make ahead and portion out as you like!

With cherries in season, there is no better time to make a simple Cherry Slab Pie. Slab pie is just pie made in a sheet pan with sides, which is a great option for making dessert for a bunch of people. It’s a bit more rustic, so you don’t really have to worry about perfecting your pie crust skills (it will still taste awesome!)

Ingredients:

Slab pie (serves 12):

  • 8 cups fresh cherries, destemmed and pitted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • the juice and zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 store bought refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts (2 packages)
  • 1 egg, plus 1 tablespoon water, whisked
  • granulated sugar, for garnish

Almond Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
