Cinnamon rolls are one of the desserts that are sold in refrigerated tins that you can unwrap and bake. The use of refrigerated dough has caused the stigma associated when attempting to make dough. In reality, cinnamon rolls can be made very easily and by topping it off with a cream cheese frosting makes a fancy roll that melts in your mouth.
My friends, brave guinea pigs, have all claimed these as delicious and amazing. One went as far as stating these cinnamon rolls to be better than cookies and cupcakes. This recipe was taken off of Allrecipes.com, a 5 star recipe with over 4000 reviews!
Chocolate chip cookies are known to be the “cookies of America”. With over 50% of the cookies baked at home being chocolate chip cookies, there are hundreds of recipes for chocolate chip cookies each claiming to be the best. In my opinion, there isn’t a single best chocolate chip cookie. Instead, I find chocolate chip cookies to be something that is versatile in nature, allowing for each variation to be delicious in its own way. Furthermore, what might be a delicacy to some, might be utterly disgusting to others. Continue reading
Kimchi fried rice is one of my first ventures into asian cooking. For those who are afraid of the taste of kimchi, this dish a great way to break in! Cooking the kimchi removes much of the raw and earthy taste it contains, giving it a different characteristic altogether. This dish was especially welcomed during the first year of my college career. What makes it even more appealing is the flexible base that kimchi provides; its easy to modify and change this dish to your own preferences! I think that kimchi fried rice is actually a very good demonstration of how asian cooking is very flexible.
Chocolate macarons*
French macarons are little sandwich cookies commonly confused with coconut macaroons. The coconut desserts, which I am also quite fond of, has an extra “o” in spelling. French macarons are, instead, made with almond flour making them gluten free. These delightful wonders have a filling sandwiched between two cookies that have extremely thin outer crust that almost instantly breaks, and a chewy center. There are varieties such as swiss and japanese macarons which are lighter and denser respectively. For the purpose of this post, I will refer to French macarons as simply macarons.
Macarons are merengue-based cookies, meaning that they are primarily egg whites by volume. In fact, beaten egg whites make up a majority of this cookie along side 3 other simple main ingredients, almond flour, powdered sugar, and casters sugar. Despite the simple ingredient profile, they are known as one of the most difficult cookies to make. With careful execution, however, it is possible to have excellent and consistent results.
