That Time I Decided To Bake A Pizza Sized Cookie

A few weekends ago, my boyfriend and I decided to make the pizza-sized cookie. This was either one of the best ideas we've ever had or one of the worst. We had a really fun time baking together and the cookie was really scrumptious. That said, it was very filling and after getting hyped up on sugar, the both of us came down with the "itis." So much cookie! In total, our pizza sized cookie --- filled with chocolate chips, dark chocolate M&Ms, and twix --- was 14 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick! Yep, it was a massive cookie.

This is a great family activity or couples activity! The cookie came out absolutely delicious and baked to perfection! I definitely look forward to baking this again, but perhaps for a bigger crowd. 

Ingredients:
- 14 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temp
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cup flour + 2 tbsp 
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups chopped halloween candy
(We used Ghiradelli chocolate chips, dark chocolate M&Ms, and bite sized twix)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease (or PAM) a 14 in pizza baking pan. Set aside. 

2. In a large bowl beat butter until creamy. Add sugars to the butter and mix until fluffy. Next, add the eggs and mixx until all ingredients are well combined. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. 

3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

4. Next, add the halloween candy to the mixture. Make sure everything is combined. 

5. Press the cookie dough evenly onto your prepared pan. If you want, sprinkle the cookie with extra candy, if you have it. (We added some more chocolate chips). 
6. Bake your cookie for about 25 minutes or until the cookie is golden brown. 

7. Once your cookie is baked, remove from oven and allow it to cool. 
Once your cookie is cooled, dig in and enjoy!

Shalom Japan: It's Me, on a Plate!

Image
Last month, my best friend (E) and I ventured out into the outskirts of Willamsburg to try a new restaurant called "Shalom Japan." We are always looking for new places to try and this establishment peaked our interest. Why? Because it is Jewish-Japanese fusion…basically, me on a plate! I've heard of all sorts of cuisine fusions, but this was certainly a first. I'll admit, Shalom Japan is not necessarily in the nicest of neighborhoods and it's not not a busy street. E and I were a bit nervous that we'd gone the wrong way, but eventually, we found the place. The restaurant is quite small, but homey. It's got wood tables/chairs and the building is brick. The atmosphere is very laid back and nice. So far, so good.  I was really intrigued by the menu. I was familiar with all of the ingredients, but was truly impressed by how they were incorporated into Jewish dishes. For example, the sake kasu challah.  I LOOOOOOVE challah. If I had no self contr

Gordon Ramsay's Cheesy Potato Dauphinoise

Image
I am fairly impressionable --- at least when it comes to cooking. When I see a recipe or a dish that intrigues me, I become obsessed and determine to give it a go. I have been obsessively watching Come Dine With Me  for at least one month and a dish that keeps popping up is: Potato Dauphionoise. I've eaten this side dish a couple times in my life, but not recently. It looked so delicious and easy to make, and I was determined to try my hand at this posh looking side. As per usual, I consulted the internet to look for recipes. As most of you know, I am obsessed with Gordon Ramsay. He is always my go to. If he doesn't have a recipe for something I want to make, I'm always feel a little lost, but luckily, that wasn't the case this time. I was delighted to have stumbled upon Gordon Ramsay's "Gratin Dauphonoise." He has yet to let me down and you know what, this dish was a winner! Something that I am adding to my repertoire.  This dish was incredibly e

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Where Greek Mythology Comes to Life

Image
Last week, I finally made it to the movie theater to see Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. I don’t care what anyone says, I LOVED IT. I loved the film, I love the Percy Jackson franchise, I love the Rick Riordan books, and I cannot wait for the next book ( The Titan’s Curse), to be made into a film! For those who may be unfamiliar with Percy Jackson, allow me to briefly explain. Percy Jackson is essentially Harry Potter , but the magic has been swapped for ancient Greek mythology. The protagonist of the series, Percy Jackson, is a demi-god and son of Poseidon --- god of the Seas. Percy lives at Camp Half Blood and is often accompanied by his best friends, Grover (a satyr) and Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena). These three, along with a variety of other characters, go on quests and do everything in their power to stop the return of the evil Titan, Kronos, who is trying to resurrect himself and overthrow Olympus. (He’s got a bit of a grudge against his sons --- Zeu
