This post is kind of late, since it’s already halfway through February, but we wanted to share the recipes for our delicious Christmas cookies. Like last year, we made three types of cookies. We made the same chocolate crackle cookies as last year because everyone LOVED them, a variation of the matcha shortbread cookies from last year (keeping with the tea cookie theme), and finally we created a pistachio and honey rugelach (those are the rolled cookies with nuts that are super yummy). All three turned out wonderful again, and now we will share the recipes with you.

Well, I guess that cookies are yummy any time of year!

Chocolate Mousse

So for the past week I have been training for a new job–sorry about the lack of posts. But, in the past week or so I have also tried out two different but equally delightful chocolate mousse recipes. Sadly, I do not have pictures of them… but just imagine they are chocolatey and fluffy like a good mousse should be, and you’ll picture what we got. I was really surprised at how easy it is to make a good mousse, and the hardest part is waiting 5-8 hours for the mousse to set in the fridge before eating it.

So, we were gone all last weekend for Christmas-family-visiting, which means we didn’t get a chance to write Sunday’s post. I know you’re all aghast and astounded and are crying over spilt milk, but we are back, and today I’m going to make sure to write for Sunday as well (yes, early!), so that New Years’ partying won’t detract from the blog. That being said, I waited until after Christmas to do this post, because it talks about the presents I made for everyone–cookies (and recipe cards)!

With no further adieu, I give you pictures and recipes!

Choc’ full of burgers

Hamburgers are one of the quintessential American foods. They are also fairly versatile, allowing you to enhance the flavor of the beef (or turkey, or veggie, or whatever) patties by adding cheese, mushrooms, and other condiments. Another, slightly different, addition is dark chocolate chips. Since they are mostly cocoa, and not very sweet, they mix well with the ground beef, and give it an unusual, but very pleasant kick. This allows you to spice up your hamburgers without having those extra condiments on hand (or even in addition to them).
