Happy Saturday!
How are you doing, friends? Hopefully all well in your part of the world 😊
It’s beautiful outside today. Sunny, chilly, no longer muddy, and I don’t have to go to work! I don’t work on Saturdays, however, today our station is open, and one of my colleagues has to go to work today 😁 She sacrificed herself as she knew I wouldn’t say yes should my boss asks me, as I have littles 😁 Yep. I’d rather stay home, doing house chores and cook….which then I get to nap for an H or two. YAY 😁
I also have a lot of things to do today. I have to fix my bookshelves. A couple of the shelves collapsed last week, getting too old. Correction. I don’t fix it, I will watch my husband fix it 😁
Today’s recipe share is Chocolate Crinkles. I kid you not, every other weekend, I have to bake these specific cookies (using the recipe I am sharing today). I have tons of crinkle cookies recipes, however this following recipe, is the one that my sons always come back to ask again and again. I think it’s the coffee 🤣 Just kidding. The coffee in the recipe is to enhance the chocolate flavor 😊
1/4 squares dark chocolates
1/4 c unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla essence
2 tsp Nescafe instant coffee granules
1 1/2 c dark brown sugar
