Amoré Thumbprint Cookies #MomsMeet #Sponsored

When the opportunity arose - through my association with Moms Meet - to try Amoré Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa & Milk by Once Again Nut Butter, I was excited. First, we love the Once Again nut butters in my household. We use almond butter in our Pad Thai-inspired Cookies; I made Homemade Peanut Butter CupsWe use nut butters in savories; we incorporate them into sweets. And, naturally, we use them to make nut butter and jam sandwiches!


Second, Amoré Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa & Milk is just like Nutella...only better because this version is organic and fairtrade-certified! Amoré's only ingredients are: fairtrade organic cane sugar, organic roasted hazelnut paste, organic skimmed milk powder, fairtrade organic cocoa powder, organic sunflower seed oil, organic roasted peeled almond paste. And that's it. It was love at first bite. And my Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf claimed the racoon mascot for himself right away!

Amoré Thumbprint Cookies

And while we tried it slathered on bananas, stirred into yogurt, and as a dip for fruit, I wanted to actually create a recipe to share using the Once Again Nut Butter Amoré Hazelnut Spread. We settled on making thumbprint cookies. They were amazing!

Ingredients  makes approximately 30 cookies
  • 3/4 C butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 C organic granulated sugar + more for rolling
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 C flour
  • 1/2 C ground hazelnuts
  • 1-1/2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 t pure vanilla extract
  • 1 t pure almond extract
  • Once Again Nut Butter Amoré Hazelnut Spread

Procedure
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in the eggs until incorporated. Stir in the flour, ground hazelnuts, and cocoa powder until a flaky dough is formed. Add in the extracts, gently working the dough until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes before proceeding. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Pinch off pieces of dough and form into small balls, about the size of a walnut in its shell. Roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place each ball onto a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet, pressing a "thumbprint" into the center of each and slightly flattening. (The cookies will not spread, so make them the size that you want!)


Add about 1/2 t to 1 t of hazelnut spread to each thumbprint. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cookies cool for several minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
