food for thought

Stephanie made these cookies a while ago, but I am trying to clean out my camera (Again). Lucky for you!

Java Cream Drops

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon half-and-half cream
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions: In a small bowl, combine coffee granules and cream; set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and reserved coffee mixture. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Divide dough in half. To one portion, add cocoa and walnuts. Stir chocolate chips into remaining dough. To form cookies, place 1 teaspoon of each dough on an ungreased baking sheet; lightly press doughs together. Flatten slightly. Repeat with remaining doughs. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 5 dozen. http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Java-Cream-Drops.aspx

And since I have started a food post for today, I will add another photo from the camera:

To Die For Pot Roast I made mine using Zesty Italian dressing mix. The first time I made it I added carrots and potatoes in with the roast. It was good, but the meat was SOOOOO good, next time I increased the meat in the crock and left the veggies on the stove :)
