For those of you following me last year, I did a little stint right before Valentine's Day called Shoes & Sweets ( click here to see the first post). Being less than a fan of the dramatically Hallmarked hearted holiday but loving it for many different reasons, I decided to combine two of my true loves to make my love fest complete. This year instead of a week, I wanted to do 14 days of fun but I've already blown that by a day... oh well. Perhaps two posts are in store for today.
But for now.. I've been craving a black and white cookie to go with my coffee this afternoon. With that said not only did I find the perfect recipe from Smitten Kitchen to try but I found the perfect shoe! Michael Kors makes a beautiful Clare T-Strap black and white animal print sandal that is just so pretty to look at, that I can only imagine what it looks like on.
Ingredients needed to start the cookie process...
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter at room temp
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tspn. vanilla extract
1/4 tspn. lemon extract
2 1/2 cups cake flour
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tspn. baking powder
1/2 tspn. salt
4 cups confectioners sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
3 ozs. unsweetened chocolate
1 tspn. light corn syrup
1-2 tblspns. unsweetened cocoa
Pre-heat oven to 375
Spray 2 non-stick pans or line with parchment paper
then go to Smitten Kitchen for help with the rest of the steps!
Have fun and enjoy! xo
