Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Instant cake!

That's right. 5 minutes total!

Anyone can do this :)
What I used was about 3 tablespoons AP flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, a bit of baking powder.
Then I added one egg, mixed, then added 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons oil, a lil bit of vanilla and continued mixing. All in the same mug.
Then into the microwave for 2.5 minutes, and voila!

White Chocolate Brownies

I don't remember how this idea popped in my head, but I was thinking about doing something with white chocolate, and I remember someone asking me to make brownies for them.
I found a white chocolate brownie recipe online that I had all the ingredients to, and so yeah!
Really the only difference is that it's melted white chocolate and not regular chocolate.
I feel like these "brownies" ended up tasting more like cake than what I remember brownies normally taste like. By the next day, when I woke up, they were all gone because my parents finished them all.

Nutella Cookies

The other day I was eating nutella out of the jar with a spoon with a friend while watching Lord of the Rings. :)  And, I thought, what would nutella COOOOOKIES be like?

I literally just added nutella in the batter of a regular cookie recipe. I don't know the exact amount, I just kind of put as much as I felt like... 

Turned out pretty good! It was more on the crunchy side and the nutella flavor was actually more subtle than I expected. But it was still there and everyone loved it :)

Lemon Sugar Cookies

White Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie

It really looks like an ordinary chocolate chip cookie. But ah! There is a subtle difference. I added melted white chocolate in the batter.
It's hard to taste the difference but it's there.
I taste the white chocolate more in the after-taste if at all.
People who could taste the difference couldn't identify what the difference was, so I guess I won't be making these again, since I can use the white chocolate for other stuff instead.
Maybe I should add more white chocolate in the batter? take out the dark chocolate chips?

Thin Mints

Homemade thin mints! :) Thin mints have always been my favorite girl scout cookies. Last night I decided to make them! 

There are no eggs, and no baking powder or baking soda in these. I guess that's how it's so crunchy :)
After making the dough I rolled it into two logs and put them in the freezer for 1 hour or so to make them firm. Then after preheating the oven I cut slices of the log, which are the cookies!

After the cookies cooled, I made the glaze/coating. It's just chocolate and butter melted together, really. I added some more peppermint extract because I felt like the cookie part itself didn't have enough. With that, I basically dipped each cookie in the coating and put them on a tray to cool completely and so the coating would harden.

I keep them in the fridge because I like them better cold :)
