I searched the files but didn't see anything. Does anyone have any ideas for a recipe I can bring to playgroup tomorrow? I want to show off my new DCB and hopefully generate interest in the business!
 
There's a recipe for a strata in the 29 Minutes to Dinner vol. 2. I don't know that I'd use it, as it's pretty spicy, but you could use the recipe just for the method and switch up the ingredients.
 
How about bringing a batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies made with your new DCB? Here's a simple and easy recipe to try:Ingredients:- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened- 1 cup white sugar- 1 cup brown sugar- 2 eggs- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract- 3 cups all-purpose flour- 1 teaspoon baking soda- 1 teaspoon salt- 2 cups chocolate chipsInstructions:1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.5. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.6. Fold in the chocolate chips.7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.10. Once cooled, store in an airtight container and enjoy with your playgroup!
