Sadly, no one cared for the almond butter and I was looking for ways to use it up. Spotted this recipe and it looked pretty easy enough as well. The cookies turned out great and were gone in no time . Recipe from here....]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2020/07/almond-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies-flourless.html/feed 0 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/cinnamon-rolls.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/cinnamon-rolls.html#comments Mon, 12 Sep 2016 17:00:00 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=20737 Cinnamon rolls are easy to make and with some planning, you can have it ready for breakfast. I messed up the butter mixture by melting the butter. It is better to keep the butter in a spreadable consistency to prevent it from flowing out while cutting. Even with the messy filling, the rolls turned out...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/cinnamon-rolls.html/feed 2 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/clover-leaf-dinner-rolls.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/clover-leaf-dinner-rolls.html#comments Sat, 02 Apr 2016 01:57:49 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=20042 My kids love dinner rolls and I love experimenting with the various shapes of dinner rolls available. I have used a combination of wheat and white flour, but you can use all white if needed. This is a fun kind of roll to make with kids. I had earlier posted crescent rolls and plain rolls.

Yes, it is simple to make and tastes out of this world. I have made it three times since bookmarking the recipe. It is just too good and very hard to resist.

I made crescent rolls, bread sticks and these rolls during that time. The dough is essentially the same for all, but different ways to shape it of course.These rolls were a joy to make and the...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/02/whole-wheat-parker-house-rolls.html/feed 0 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/10/whole-wheat-bread-sticks.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/10/whole-wheat-bread-sticks.html#comments Fri, 10 Oct 2014 04:49:47 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=16687 I had posted a version of bread sticks earlier and the main difference here is the use of whole wheat flour along with bread flour. My kids love to eat this as a snack, rather than with a meal and they did not really mind the use of whole wheat flour. The bread sticks had...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/10/whole-wheat-bread-sticks.html/feed 1 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/03/chocolate-oatmeal-cookies.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/03/chocolate-oatmeal-cookies.html#comments Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:06:24 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=14724 Shall we start the week with something sweet? Cookies are certainly a kids delight and my kids are no exception. They are even bigger fans of chewy oatmeal cookies and immediately bookmarked this when I saw it in the cookbook. Oatmeal and nuts add a nice crunch to the cookies and cocoa adds a delicious...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/03/chocolate-oatmeal-cookies.html/feed 5 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/02/plain-white-bread.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/02/plain-white-bread.html#comments Fri, 07 Feb 2014 01:27:25 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=17051 We had a couple of friends come over recently and since I did not want to scare them with my trial and errors in bread making, I stuck to the simple plain bread. The inspiration is this oatmeal bread and in this case I just added extra flour. With all the trial and errors I was careful...]]> https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/02/plain-white-bread.html/feed 7 https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/12/snicker-bar-cookies-peanut-butter-cookies.html https://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/12/snicker-bar-cookies-peanut-butter-cookies.html#comments Mon, 23 Dec 2013 05:30:04 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=15988 Peanut butter cookies just got better. While chit chatting with my friend Rachel she casually mentioned these snicker bar cookies that her family loves. She was also kind enough to print out the recipe for me and also answered the silly doubts that I had.
