Classic Chocolate Whoopie Pies With Marshmallow Crème Filling ~ December Daring Bakers' Challenge
Whoopie pies are a cross
between a cookie and a cake (not a pie!), with two round, mound-shaped halves
sandwiching a sweet creamy filling.
The December Daring
Bakers' Challenge had us all cheering - the lovely and talented Bourbonnatrix of Bourbonnatrix Bakes was our hostess and challenged us to make fun, delicious
and creative whoopie pies! Delicious little cake-like cookies sandwiching luscious
filling in any flavors we chose... What else is there to say but
"Whoopie!"
Since this is the first
time I am making Whoopie Pie I wanted to stick to the Classic Whoopie Pie
recipe. For filling I couldn’t find Marshmallow Fluff/ Marshmallow Crème in the
market here, so I had to make it at home. Found an easy recipe for the fluff on
the net. It was really fun making whoopee pie, marshmallow fluff and the
filling all from scratch. This time my super picky eater son loved the whoopie pies
and he was the one who ate the most!

Candy Cane Cookies
May this Christmas fill your hearts with warmth, peace and joy! We Wish You and Your Loved Ones A Holy and a Blessed Christmas!
During Christmas season I try to bake at least
one new cookie every year. This year I tried the Candy Cane Cookies for my
little one's school Christmas party. It was a little more time consuming than I
expected but it was fun. Hope all of you are ready with your Christmas menu and
if you are looking for ideas please go through my Christmas special menu…

Chicken Biriyani / Kozhi Biryani
Like I said in my Mutton Biriyani post
there are plenty of ways to make biriyani and every household has their own
unique recipe for the same. This recipe is from my mom which many moons ago was
published in Vanitha magazine. Whenever I make chicken biriyani I stick to this
recipe as it is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time and baked just
before serving. So if you are planning to make biriyani on Christmas or New
Year try this one and let me know :)

Classic Fudge Brownie
As
Christmas and New Year’s draw close, everybody must be busy baking cakes and cookies… I too
have baked my first batch of Christmas Fruit Cake… To ring in the festive cheer
I thought of sharing this decadent
Classic Fudge Brownie, a perfect
Christmas gift if you don’t want to make fruit cake and cookies… These are
quick and easy to put together; yet immensely rich and satisfying; I am sure
people will definitely love this little bite of chocolate heaven! Always use
the best quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder for making brownies. The
original recipe uses pecan nuts, since I didn't have pecans I used a mix of
cashew nuts and almonds… You can reduce or completely omit nuts in this recipe
if you so desire… do try this heavenly little bits this holiday season and
enjoy it as is or serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and hot
chocolate sauce!

Gingerbread Doughnut Muffins
Holidays are
around the corner I am sure everybody is looking for an easy yet different
recipe to try out. I found this irresistible breakfast treat at Annie’s Eats
and after reading the recipe, I found myself in the kitchen baking these! The
spices that go into this muffin, the cinnamon-sugar topping and of course the
name all inspired me to try it immediately :)... These are soft and tender and with the right amount
of mixed spices, it is a real treat on a lazy holiday morning to share with
family and friends over a cup of coffee or hot chocolate... the best thing about
this recipe is you can prepare and serve in less than one hour....You can even
bake them in a doughnut pan too..... Try these muffins during this festive season....
