M&M Pudding Cookies

By -

 

So, I had these as a kid and loved them and finally got the recipe.  I made some changes, and these cookies were good. Hadley loves them, and they are her new favorite, and Stef liked them as well. I would say they are an 8.

Aunt Sheri’s M&M Pudding Cookies

2 ¼ cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup margarine I used half butter and half shortening, and I think next time we’ll just use 100% butter

¼ cup sugar

¾ cup packed brown sugar

1 package 4 serving size instant French vanilla pudding

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

1 small package chocolate chips I used M&M’s instead

1 cup nuts I left this out

M&M’s

Form into balls, but push the M&M’s into the cookies after baking (as soon as they come out of the oven), or they will crack. Bake 375 for 8 minutes.

    I added 1/4 tsp. salt and used all butter and they were much better.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Crepes

This is a classic that John’s Dad taught him to make after serving a mission in Paris. If you have the right toppings, these can be a 9. If your toppings suck, don't blame me. John has tweaked it a bit, and I like it with a bit more almond than he does, but here is the basic recipe: Crepes 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/2 T. vanilla 1 T. sugar 1/4 cup oil 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. almond extract John likes to mix it with a hand blender, but I prefer doing it in the BlendTec. You put this on about a 7 or 8 on the stove (medium-medium/high heat), and then use 1/3 cup to put it on a crepe pan as you swirl it cover the pan with the other hand.

So, this was amazing. Like a 9. And it is SO easy. SO SO EASY. YUMMMM. This came from melskitchencafe.com, and it’s a keeper. You could pair it with some sautéed mushrooms and salmon or chicken for a more elaborate meal. Amazing Instant Pot Creamy "Baked" Ziti Ingredients 2 cups broth (I use low-sodium chicken broth) 2 cups cream (see note for lightened up substitutions) I did half cream and 50% half and half (I actually did 1 1/4 cups of half and half) 1/2 teaspoon salt Some crushed red pepper flakes would also be good, not a ton, but just a bit 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder) I doubled this 16 ounces uncooked ziti pasta or other tube-shaped pasta I did penne and it was probably a slight bit less than 16 oz. 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes I did diced tomatoes plus 2 Tbs. tomato paste and blended it together 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil 1/2 to 1 cup freshly grated ...
