Ex-Moderator | When I was a little girl a close friend of the family would have me over for baking day. She'd make, like, 12 different kinds of cookies and let me help with everything. My favorite part was she'd always let me lick the bowl and always let me sample anything I wanted fresh from the oven. It's from then that I remember falling in love with anything with almond extract in it. To this day that is one of my favorite smells on the planet.
These days, I get excited for my friend Darin to make cookies. He usually sends me home with a small box at some point during the holiday season. He's only making a couple of different kinds this year, but one of them has that yummy almond thing going and so those are my favorite, favorite cookies. |

We are going to make these for our holiday dinner. Ingredients • 455g best-quality cooking chocolate (70% cocoa solids) • 50ml hot espresso or good strong instant coffee • 125g butter, plus extra for greasing • 6 eggs, free-range or organic, separated • 200g caster sugar • 100g ground almonds • 100g rice flour • 1 small handful chopped hazelnuts, toasted baked chocolate pudding This pudding is chocolate heaven! The original recipe idea for it came from my mate Ben, the head chef at Monte's. I've changed it round a bit to make it easier to make at home. Melt 125g chocolate with the coffee, then pour into small ice-cube moulds and freeze until hard. Take 6 small 3 inch pastry rings, dariole moulds or cappuccino cups and grease well with some butter. Place in the fridge while you make your sponge mixture. Melt the remaining chocolate with the butter in a bowl over a pan of boiling water, then in a separate bowl whisk the egg whites with the sugar until firm. Fold the yolks into the cooled chocolate and butter mixture, then add the almonds and flour. Finish by carefully folding in the egg white mixture. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5. Take your moulds out of the fridge and spoon a little mixture into each one, then push in a cube of the frozen coffee and chocolate mixture. Cover with the rest of the sponge mixture so each ice cube is completely enveloped. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18–20 minutes, then remove carefully from the moulds while hot. Serve immediately sprinkled with hazelnuts. I love Jamie Oliver | |

I like melted fudge on JustErin's nipples.
Feliz Navidad! Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

Mix sugar, shortening, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Roll dough 1/8-inch on floured board.

Keep a close eye on them cuz the crushed candy can burn quick - I ususally turn the over a bit lower Post pix when their done I'm thinking I might "press" shapes into the cookies rather than cutting all the way through to keep the candy from sticking to the pan. That may affect the melting of the candy though. It will be an experiment. Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large.
