Toaster streusel

If you can make toaster strudel then you can also make toaster streusel!! Which is basically a way better version, baked in your toaster oven. I love these for breakfast on the side of coffee, Or as a to-go snack! Just make sure to use the best quality jam that you can find, None of that squeeze-bottle stuff that you use for PB&J sandwiches. I used on my Bonne Maman raspberry apricot jam, I’ve been buying them exclusively Ever since that holocaust story came out!

Toaster streusel

1 1/2 c all purpose flour
3/4 c oats
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 c neutral oil
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup good quality jam

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, oats, sugars, baking powder, salt, oil, and vanilla. Mix with your hands until a dough forms.
3. Press 2/3 of the dough into a parchment lined 1/8 baking sheet or a 8×10 pan.
5. Spread jam over the bars and crumble on remaining dough.
6. Bake in a toaster oven for 20 minutes or until browned. Cool completely; cut into squares.

Cookie Danish


I took the viral Crookie – Cookie Croissant – and made it Jewish by stuffing a single serving of cookie dough into a danish!! I don’t know about your, but I’m team cinnamon over chocolate – I know, I know, not your typical – but I’m cinnaman and proud!

What about you?


Cookie Danish

¼ cup + 2 teaspoons flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
1 egg yolk
¼ teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
1 pre-baked Cinnamon or chocolate danish

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, egg, vanilla and oil. Mix with a spoon until a dough forms and add in the chocolate chips.

Slice danish into half like a book. Spread most of the cookie dough over the danish, then close and top some more cookie dough.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookie dough on top of the danish is baked through.

Yellow Ribbon Cookies


As Purim inched it’s way closer this year, I felt the dread coming on. I couldn’t imagine putting together shalach manos packages, getting dressed up, and getting into the holiday spirit. My heart just isn’t in it. So I went from one store to another, trying to come up with ideas for what to give out, but I always left empty handed. And then yesterday, I decided to put my heart into the cellophane and make yellow ribbon cookies. Cookies for the non-baker that doesn’t require cookie cutters, piping bag or decorating skills.

All I want for Purim is to BRING THEM HOME 🎗

Yellow Ribbon Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter 
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg white
Yellow sugar

Method:

Place the butter and sugar in the mixing bowl and blend until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to blend until incorporated. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix at low speed until the dough starts to come together. Press the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Roll the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper until 1/4″ thick, trim the edges with a pizza cutter, bench scraper or knife to square off. Cut into strips and fold over to loop into a ribbon shape.

Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned on the bottom.

Tahinitaschen

I know how much y’all love tahini so I made TAHINITASCHEN!! Tahini in the dough. Tahini in the 3 (yes 3!) ingredient filling!

To view the reel on Instagram click here.

Tahinitaschen

Hamantaschen dough:
1/4 cup tahini paste
2 tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 extra large egg (if you only have large, add 2 tsp water)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour + more for dusting
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp sesame seeds

3-ingredient Halva Filling:
½ cup tahini paste
1/4 cup honey
1⁄4 tsp kosher salt

Chocolate Drizzle:
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp refined coconut oil
Sesame seeds and/or shredded halva for garnish

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheets with parchment paper.
Prepare the hamantaschen dough: In a small bowl, combine the egg, tahini, oil, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the wet ingredients, add the sesame seeds and stir until a smooth dough is formed.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼ inch thick (It helps to cover the deal with a sheet of parchment paper). Cut circles using a cookie cutter or a glass cup.
Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the circles and pinch closed to form a triangle. Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir in the coconut oil. Drizzle the chocolate over the hamantaschen and finish with sesame seeds or shredded halva.

Chanukah Treats that Aren’t Donuts!

We’re halfway through Chanukah and the donut fatigue has set in! But don’t you worry – I gotchyu!!

First on the list, is definitely my pizza dough zeppole. It’s so easy, you don’t even need a recipe! I rolled out some pizza dough (Trader Joes!), then cut it into roughly square shapes, then deep fried until golden. I dusted half in powdered sugar and served with raspberry jam, and rolled the other half in cinnamon sugar and served with caramel. You’re welcome!

These cheese pancakes can also be called latkes, so you get your latke and “jelly donut” in one fix! Recipe here!

Fritters are always a winner, and this all-purpose batter can be used for anything from apples to persimmon (pictured), or Oreos to candy bars!

All-Purpose Deep-Fried-Anything Batter:

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet to the dry and stir until smooth. Dip (almost) anything in the batter, shake off excess, and deep fry!

Yes! You are looking at JELLY DONUT NACHOS and they are a REVELATION!! So. So. Good. Fry up some wonton wrappers and dust in powdered sugar. Drizzle with jam. You’re welcome!

These jelly donut linzer cookies are SO. SO. GOOD. Get the recipe here!

These beer battered pumpkin rings are so fun! Get the recipe here!

HAPPY FRYING!
