Cinnamon Scones

I made some delicious scones the other day and not only were they tasty, but they're only 188 calories a slice!

Cream Cheese Filled Snickerdoodles... Yum!

This was featured on:

So I came across this recipe from Cookies and Cups, as soon I read the title I knew I was in love!

The only thing that I would add/change is to cut the filling ingredients in half because I have a lot of cream cheese filling leftover.

What You Need:

1 1/2 cups Sugar

1 cup Butter, Room Temp

2 eggs

1 tsp Vanilla

2 3/4 cups all purpose Flour

2 tsp Cream of Tartar

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 cup Sugar

2 tsp Cinnamon

FOR THE FILLING:

8 oz Cream Cheese, softened

1/4 cup Sugar

2 tsp Vanilla

What you need to do:

Make the cream cheese filling by mixing the cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp vanilla.

Cover the cream cheese mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400°

Cream butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until combined.

On low speed mix in your flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set dough to the side.

In a small bowl combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon, set that aside as well.

Remove the cream cheese mixture from the refrigerator.

For each cookie you will need 2 flattened balls of dough, 1 Tbsp each. (The flattened disk will be approx 2″ in diameter)

Place 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture on top of one of the flattened dough disks. Then place the other flattened dough on top of the cream cheese. Pinch the edges together to seal.

Carefully form into a ball and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Place on a plate as you finish making each and refrigerate. Before baking the cookies they should chill for 15 minutes.

When the dough is chilled bake on a parchment lined baking sheet 2″ apart for 8 minutes.

Transfer to wire rack to cool.

YUM!

I even wrapped some up for my new neighbors!

Makes approx 24 cookies

Cinnamon Pizza

OOOOOOkkkkk.... So I have been at home (Spokane, Washington) since early November so I haven't been baking and I got home on the 3rd of January and I've been cooking up a storm! I will be baking as well, but I'm out of powdered sugar so I have to get some.

AND (sad story) I was going to use my flour and I saw bug legs in it..... soooo I decided to throw it all away. I'm a paranoid person when it comes to bugs and for all I knew there were eggs in it!!!

So my husband and I decided to order some pizza from Papa Johns (Yum) and we got a cinni-pie from them and it was DELICIOUS!!!

And, of course, I had to try to make my own.

What you need:

For the dough:

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white sugar

For the Streusel:

1 Cup Oats

1 C. Flour

1/2 C. Brown sugar- packed

2 T. Cinnamon
1 stick of Butter or margarine

Sugar Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar mixed

1-2 tablespoons milk.

What to do:

For the Dough:

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape.

For the Streusel:

Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon in bowl. Dice up CHILLED butter/margarine and add to dry mix. Mix with hands until you can form a sort of "snow-ball" with mixture. Try to leave crumbles big and spread over pizza dough. Spread on top of dough.

Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until dough bottom is golden.

For the Sugar Glaze (Not in the picture, like I said, I'm out of powdered sugar):
Drizzle glaze on cooked pie when it is fresh out of the oven.
Let sit for 5 minutes, cut and serve warm.

Enjoy!

Cinnamon Pie

My husband and I love watching Psych

and there was an episode where Shawn and Gus went to this little town where they served the best pie, according to them, and they ate a Cinnamon Pie. I have never heard of a cinnamon pie, so I searched for a recipe online and it didn't take me that long until I found it online on allrecipes.com

What you need:

1 cup Sugar

1 1/2 tbsp all purpose Flour

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 Pinch Salt

1 Egg, Beaten

2 tbsp Butter, Mixed

1 tsp Vanilla

1 1/2 Cups Milk

1 (10 inch) Unbaked Pie Crust

What you need to do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, mix together egg, butter, vanilla. mix well and add milk. Mix together the dry mix slowly with the wet mix.

Pour mixture into unbaked crust.

Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350 and bake for an additional 45 minutes.

It'll be a little runny, but let cool and it will set.

Refrigerate leftovers.

Once set, it'll look like so.

(My husband had to steal a couple of pieces before I could get a photo of course.)
