Easter chickie cupcakes

My darling grandson Darragh wanted to make some Chickie cakes & asked me could I show him what to do,needless to say I loved this idea as he has been baking with me since he could walk....lol.

I am so very proud of his cakes,here is his talented work,he is 5 yrs old,my very own little Duff Goldman....lol

Fun Cookie Pops

Lots of patience required....lol

Recipe I used is as follows....

390 gr Plain flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

227gr unsalted butter

200gr granulated white sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

 Method

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

In the bo mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough.

Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about one hour or until firm enough to roll.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Remove  half of the chilled dough from the fridge and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (1 cm).  Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheets with the unbaked cookies in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes to chill the dough which prevents the cookies from spreading and losing their shape while baking.

Me To You Bear ChrCake

Whoopie Pies with Marshmallow fluff/cream

Yes at last I took the plunge & made the "whoopie pies",so much talk about them taking over from the cupcake & often referred to as " The new cupcake".

My opinion doesn't agree with "The new cupcake" I find them to be a little on the bland side & certainly  not as sweet as the cupcake,now the marshmallow fluff/cream that is a whole other sweetness...lol.

I don't dislike them but certainly wouldn't choose one over a cupcake anyday soon (",)

Here is the recipe I used (",)

 The method is here ....

Onto greasedproof paper or a baking sheet,into oven 175c or 350f for 11 to 15mins,just press & if the bounceback to shape they are cooked

Now all you have to do is spread on the marshmallow fluff/cream yummmmyyyyy tastes like candyfloss (",)
