learn by doing – popcorn cookies.

buttered-popcorn-cookies

slightly altered from the original recipe found on milk & mode straight out of the smitten kitchen cookbook – i give you the yummiest, chewiest, perfect mix of sweet, salty and crunchy cookie recipe you will ever find – and then hopefully make – and then DEVOUR!

buttered popcorn cookies

my alterations?
i made the popcorn using this method
added in a cup of toasted walnuts & dark chocolate chunks when stirring in the popcorn
and topped with sea salt just before baking.

they did not last long.
and neither did the second batch.  heehee.
now – to figure out a gluten and dairy free version of these so that i can share this goodness with a few friends.

happy baking – wherever you are!

cookbook – the ontario table

recipe – pumpkin streusel muffins

i absolutely love everything about fall.  the crisp cold air.  chilly nights.  halloween.  pumpkin carving.  honey crisp apples.  the colour change of the leaves on the trees.  there’s a romantic feel to it all.  perfectly sweet pumpkin streusel muffins are a comforting snack, warmed and slathered in butter – any ol’ time of day.  serve with a cup of tea and you’re in business my friend.
