Georgia This week I decided to take our Julia & Martha one step further and bake a dessert using a Martha Stewart recipe. Since Randy and I got together Savannah has always joined me in the kitchen, helping with one thing or another. During this visit she mentioned she would like to learn more about baking. So baking we did. Instead of the cupcakes we made Lemon mini cakes. Same recipe, but modified. We bake a lemon sheet cake and used a biscuit cutter to make the layers.

AmyKeeping in the spirit of celebrating Julia Child's and Martha Stewart's birthdays this month I decided to bake something by Ms. Martha today. Whilst scanning The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics, I discovered this little recipe hiding in plain sight. Everyone reading this will most likely have the ingredients on hand. It is too simple. Delicate and heavenly taste. If you've ever wanted to take part in a cookie exchange but don't have a great deal of time, this recipe will do. It's also perfect as a last minute dessert for your dinner party. Behold the Honey Lace Cookie. I chose to use honey made right here in Oklahoma. Cinnamon Cream Honey...I'm getting teary-eyed. Honey Lace Cookies From The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook:The New Classics Makes 28 (not in my house) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with Silpats (French baking mats) or parchment paper. Set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and honey. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. 2. Working quickly, drop 1/2 teaspoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. Bake until the cookies spread and turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer the sheets to a wire rack, let cool completely. With your fingers, carefully remove the cookies from the pan. And shove right in your mouth! I enjoyed a couple of these beauties as I watched the Minions movie. Ah, Sunday... Happy Sunday, Amy and Georgia |
