Snickers Cookies

So these are better than the picture suggests. For some reason, the color in the picture is way weird. Anyway, I kind of just used my stand-by chocolate chip cookie recipe and then added snickers. Hadley says these are now her 2nd favorite cookie, and day-of baking, they were awesome. The second day they were far less awesome than normal chocolate chip cookies, but the first day the texture was absolutely perfect. Now, one problem is that I was tripling it b/c I needed it for those monthly sack lunches I do, which means the KitchenAid was beyond full and it didn’t incorporate the Snickers evenly. So, some cookies got a lot, and others go barely any. That is a no-no. Also, I might leave the chunks bigger next time. I would give these an 8, and I will make them again. Here is the best I could remember from the recipe, and make sure to note that the flour and oatmeal are guesstimates, so make sure that the dough gets enough flour.

Cookies

1 cup fat (2/3 butter, 1/3 canola oil)

3/4 brown sugar, packed

2/3 cup white sugar

1 tsp. soda in 1 tsp. hot water

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

Scant 2 cups of flour

1 1/3 cups of oatmeal, blended to flour in a blender

2 cups snickers (don’t skimp)

1 cup chocolate chips

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes exactly for my oven.

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.
