As promised, here is the recipe from the cookie dough I was eating last night (they are delicious cooked also!). I was inspired by this recipe: Maple-Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies, but I added my own touches to it. Here is my version:
Crazy Maple Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 3/4 cup AP flour
- 1/2 rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup 60% caoco chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pecan
- 1/4 cup toffee pieces
- handful of unsweetened coconut (didn't measure, sorry)
I just mixed everything together and baked for 10 minutes at 350.
Great warm and dunked in a glass of milk! This is the only batch that actually got cooked. We just ate the rest of the dough raw, haha.
Now onto some exciting purchases I made today!
Earlier in the week, I ordered some items from athens.locallygrown.net where you can order fresh produce from local farmers!! I ordered some fresh eggs, rosemary, and Jerusalem artichokes. Pick up time was this afternoon. Check out what I got:
The eggs came in this cute, hand packed carton.
I was so excited that the eggs were multicolored! Looks like Easter!
The rest of the loot :)
Jerusalem artichokes are something I had never even heard of before, so of course I had to buy some! They look like little ginger roots. And the rosemary smells amazing! It was a very aromatic drive home!
Excited to try my new food, I immediately cut up some of the Jerusalem artichokes, tossed them with salt and olive oil, and threw them in the oven. This is my default way to cook veggies.
Then I cracked open an egg right on to the pan, cooked it, and then ate it with some rosemary sprinkled on top! Wow. What a taste! If you get the opportunity to buy some fresh eggs, do it! I'm really going to enjoy these.
When my Jerusalem artichokes were cooked, I had no idea what they were supposed to taste like. I popped one in my mouth, and it actually tasted exactly like an artichoke! I think I prefer them to normal artichokes because they have a nice crunch, and they are much more efficient to eat since you don't have to scrape the good stuff off of a leaf!
Jerusalem artichokes. Don't look too pretty in the picture, but they were delicious!
Has anyone else try any new and exciting foods lately?
