Brown Rice Crispies

Ingredients:

• 4 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup brown rice syrup

Preparation:

1. Spray an 11 x 7 or 9 x 13 pan generously with cooking spray.
2. Spray a large mixing bowl with cooking spray. Pour crispy rice cereal and chocolate chips in, mixing with your hands. Set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, heat peanut butter and brown rice syrup until the mixture bubbles.
4. Pour over crispy rice mixture in the bowl. Stir (a silicone spatula keeps the mixture from sticking) well. The chocolate chips will melt into the mixture at this point (yum!). Working quickly, spread the peanut butter rice crispy mixture into the prepared pan. Let peanut butter rice crispy treats cool completely before cutting into squares.

Linzer Cookies - yum

From: Barefoot Contessa

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Any preserves you like
• (I made a chocolate ganache and used that instead of jam)
• Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugar until they are just combined. Add the vanilla. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll the dough 1/4-inch thick and cut 2 3/4-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter. With 1/2 of the rounds, cut a hole from the middle of each round with a heart or spade shaped cutter. Place all the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes.

Bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool to room temperature. Spread raspberry preserves on the flat side of each solid cookie. Dust the top of the cut-out cookies with confectioners' sugar and press the flat sides together, with the raspberry preserves in the middle and the confectioners' sugar on the top.
