Hello chef!
This is a blog about recipes. Some I made myself and others I've tweaked. also there may be some "dry humor" (sarcasm) in this blog as well.
Thanks,

cookies!!!

hello everybody!
Since I am very forgetful this is going to be a super blog!
(insert fans screaming)
What that means is that you get two recipes for the price of one! Not that I actually make you people pay for them but... You get my point. So with out further ado here is recipe #1!
Citrus white chocolate macaroons
makes: 2 dozen(unless you pull a clueless cook and make giant cookies but whatever)

1 pkg. (7 oz.) shredded coconut
3 squares premium white baking chocolate, chopped
2/3 cups sugar
6 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg WHITES!
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 tsp. almond extract
1 square semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted

preheated oven to 325 degrees F. mix coconut, white chocolate, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl.
stir in egg whites, lemon peel and almond extract until well blended.

drop by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased and floured baking sheets or parchment paper to keep from sticking.

bake 20 minutes or until edges of cookies are golden brown. Immediately remove form baking sheets. Cool on wire racks. Drizzle with melted chocolate.

so that is my first recipe that next one is...

peanut butter-maple bacon fudge
12 strips of maple-smoked bacon reserving 2 strips for garnish
1-1/2 C semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 C peanut butter chips
14oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp maple extract

coat an 8" square pan with cooking spray. cook bacon until crispy. drain. chop fine.
combine all ingredients EXCEPT bacon in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. stir continuously until chips and butter are melted, and mixture is thick and smooth. remove form heat. stir in bacon. Pour into prepared pan. sprinkle the reserved chopped bacon on top and lightly press with your fingertips. cover with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Okay, okay I know it sounds totally gross but it is really good! Remember read your recipes all the way though before you begin baking and that tsp. is teaspoons and Tbsp. is Tablespoons. Well that's all the recipes I have for today. see you people later.
yay bacon!
