Brownie Scones

This might be what you're looking for - they're a little crispy ... and slightly chewy.

Brownie Top Cookies

Combine the following in a mixing bowl:
1 and 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon espresso powder
Pinch of salt

Then add:
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Beat well for about 2 minutes on medium speed.

Fold in:
2/3 cup toasted walnuts or pecans
1/3 cup chocolate pieces

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drop batter onto 2 parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Allow room for cookies to spread, baking only 5 or 6 cookies on each sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, until cookies become shiny and crinkly on top. Cool completely before peeling cookies off parchment. Yield: about 10 cookies.

The perfect hostess gift. Thanks for the inspiration!

Bruised toes.
My shoes had really been bothering me. And I thought it was because I was on my feet so long every day. I had this great idea that, if I got shoes a little bigger, my toes would have room to spread out and my feet would feel better overall.

Then after about a week of wearing my new shoes, my feet felt even worse! I finally went to a specialty shoe store thinking I needed some kind of orthotic. After looking at my toes and hearing my pitiful story, they measured my feet. I had been wearing shoes that were too big. By a full size. Duh.

The lesson I've learned is - it's really important to wear shoes that fit. I love my new shoes. Even though they cost about $100 more than what I'd been wearing. But it is so worth it!

Wholesome Sweeteners brand organic molasses is the very best. I've just made lots of gingerbread cookies and houses and they turned out great with this brand. I agree that something is "off" flavor-wise with Brer Rabbit.

Yes, you can use coconut oil for baking. It's great in brownies, blondies and cookies. When you substitute any oil for butter, you can use less and still get a great result. For example, if you have a recipe that calls for 1 cup of butter, you would use 3/4 cup of oil.
Coconut oil has gotten a bad rap. But there is lots of research that points out the health benefits of coconut oil and flour. In any case, it really enhances the flavor of chocolate, especially in a brownie. Which is where I would start baking with your coconut oil.
Hope that helps!
