PUMPKIN-CHOCOLATE COOKIES: not as nutty as you think...
(bear jar by Gary Rith)
I was making this bear the other day, trying to do a panda, right? I did not manage a panda and will try that again sometime...but this bear was so much fun I quickly made a cookie jar for it. I usually make the cookie jar THEN the knob figure and maybe this is the first time a sculpture has asked for a pot ...
I was getting rice pizza crust recipes off the web here Sunday and I saw this woman's recipe for pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies, gluten-free! I started to make them and realized "the heck with the spice, let's add a cup of chocolate chips instead!" and it was BRILLIANT. The wife was like "these are so light!" and I was like "sooooo moist and rich"....
Finally, you can see the cat and dog helping the wife make curtains (for our neighbor) while I was baking....have a great Monday!
Bear is fabulous! Cookies also!
ReplyDeleteWe just saw another recipe for something made with pumpkin and chocolate. It's a new food trend. I think I would have included the spice also.
ReplyDeleteYes, pets are ever so helpful. Whenever I work with any kind of papers, Homer is sure to sit on them to keep them from moving.
ReplyDeleteI left the spice IN but did not roll them in sugar and spice :)
ReplyDeleteWell, when you do finally come up with a panda, that will be the end of me for I will die of fabulous pottery overload. This bear jar is great! Pumpkin and chocolate also great!
ReplyDeleteThat bear definitely needed some cookies. Good choice! :)
