I made these cookies for a harry potter themed party. They are a betty crocker recipe. Instead of drizzling butterscotch I sprinkled large sugar crystals and wilton gold dust.

Mac Tweets - Kick it up Challenge




Cookie Cocktail

Cookie Cocktail
My homage to the samoa girl scout cookie. Macarons with Fleur de sel caramel combined with Chocolate ganache and just a hint of rum. I heard Cora Carmody speak about the Technology Goddesses, a group that teaches girl scouts about technology. In honor of her coming to my Women's Network Meeting, and due to Mac Tweets having a boozy cookie challenge, I came up with this combo. I have to say I would put more than a hint of coconut rum in next time. My recipe was
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1/4 Cup Coconut Rum
2 1/4 Cups Chocolate Chips.

Next time I'd do double the rum as you really couldn't taste it unless you were really searching for it.

However they were still a chocolate, caramel delight!

Trader joes find!
I was lazy this month and did not do a mac attack, but while shopping for egg whites I found trader joes has some fresh macs! I haven't tried them yet because they were out when I needed to bring a dessert somewhere...maybe next time!

Happy independence day!




Independence day cupcakes

Independence day cupcakes
What a day! We bbqed on the boat and watched the big bay boom, a series of four coordinated fireworks shows...it was amazing! To celebrate I made jello poke cupcakes, you poke the cake with a skewer and pour jello in the holes and let it set up. It is way late, so sweet dreams!
