I really like sea salt. And specifically Falk Salt, which is this neat-o pyramid salt. So when I decided to make these spicy PB Chocolate Chip Cookies, I thought that using their chipotle flavor would be just the thing. It was … these are very yummy. If you don’t have chipotle sea salt, you can use regular and just crush a few red pepper flakes into it with your fingers. Also, this recipe makes about 60 cookies, so it that is too much for you, it’s one that can be easily halved.
I thought that I would try something different today, and practice my penmanship. On mini-tiny Scrabble cookies. Cute, fun and different and if you have friends who are into Scrabble or Words with Friends, these might be cute and cupcake or cake toppers. I’d made these a couple of years ago for Valentine’s Day, but have updated my sugar cookie recipe since then.
As an aside, when I was in high school, I had my wisdom teeth out. They were pretty impacted and the whole surgery turned out to be a bigger ordeal than planned, so I was out of school for quite some time. My sister at the time was dating an exchange student from Uruguay; a great guy named Eduardo. He came over every day after school and played Scrabble with me because I was so bored. Whenever I see a Scrabble board, I think of him.
I really wanted some flowers in my life. Spring is not springing quickly enough here in New England and so when I saw this cute fluted bundt cake pan, I thought it would make a cute flower. Of course, then I singed the top of the bundt cake so it isn’t very flowery anymore. Oh well. Not everything comes out perfectly and to be fair, this cake was fine, just the top was a little dark.
Fluted bundt cake pan came from UpSwing Vintage, on Etsy.
