DEAR SANTASAURUS Blog Tour - Red Velvet Crackle Cookie

Day 2 of the Dear Santasaurus Blog Tour





My oldest daughter's favorite cake is red velvet. I made the Red Velvet Crackle Cookies for her. She says she still likes the cake better, but in the cookie's defense, these were gobbled up with a day.


Red Velvet Crackle Cookie 

(Don't let the name fool you. These cookies are very soft and chewy.)

 Ingredients:

6 tbsp butter, melted
1 C powdered sugar, plus extra
1 tsp corn starch
1 box red velvet cake mix
2 eggs
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 C flour





Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Mix corn starch and powdered sugar in a bowl. Then add (cooled) butter, cake mix, eggs, and lemon juice. Mix with a wooden spoon and slowly add the flour. Eventually, use your hands.
3. Form into large balls and roll in extra powdered sugar.
4. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 9-11 minutes.

Hints and help:
This dough is very, very sticky until you add the flour. Also, it will stain your hands red.

Don't miss the rest of the tour.

DEAR SANTASAURUS Blog Tour - Nutella Cookie

Day 1 of the Dear Santasaurus Blog Tour



Today's cookie is the Nutella Cookie. My kids are nuts about Nutella so we made up this recipe to enjoy the chocolaty, nutty goodness as a cookie. Enjoy!


Nutella Cookie




Ingredients:
1/2 C butter (softened)
3/4 C Nutella
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla



Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
1. Beat butter and Nutella until smooth.
2. Add 1/2 C flour, sugars, egg, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
3. Add remaining flour and beat until smooth.
4. Roll into balls (about the size of a large gumball) and place on cookie sheet.
5. Bake 7-9 minutes.

Hints and help:
If dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate.
Because of their dark color, it's hard to check these cookies for doneness.

The DEAR SANTASAURUS Blog Tour






So part of me wishes that I was going on an around-the-world book tour to promote DEAR SANTASAURUS. A bigger part of me is thankful that I can travel virtually. I get to my wear slippers. I don't need makeup. I'm not worried about arranging childcare. This is awesome!

So here's the itinerary. Check back each scheduled day for a link to my post and for the daily cookie. Yummmmm.
