About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Cookies, brownies, breads, rolls, coffee cakes. I love trying to make recipes for these types of things healthier and trying to make cholesterol-free desserts for my mother in law
My favorite family cooking traditions
My husband's family is from Ecuador so I like trying to combine American and South American sweets. This year instead of regualr Christmas sugar cookies I make Christmas alfajores!

Rosemary Herb Bread
This recipe was fantastic. I used extra fresh rosemary, italian spice, olive oil instead of butter, and added a bit of parmesan. I also used 2 cups white whole wheat and 1 cup bread flour with a tbsp of vital gluten for rise. This rose incredibly high as it started baking (set bread maker on dough setting and then baked in the over in a loaf pan for 20 minutes at 350). Thanks for a great recipe!

Jeanne's Chocolate Kiss Cookies
This was delicious with a couple changes. First I scaled the recipe to make 20 cookies - this scale called for 7 Tbsps of butter, and since some reviews mentioned that the cookies came out flat/greasy, I used 5 Tbsp instead. I chilled the dough for 15 min or so before rolling into balls and baking for 10 minutes. The cookies came out nice and puffy and perfect looking and I used peanut butter chocolate kisses. The reduced butter (I actually used margarine) gave the cookies the perfect shape, and they still taste very rich, but also have the bonus of having 10 calories less per cookie!
