Featuring my thick and nuggy Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these ice cream sandwiches are the stuff that summer dreams are made of. If you've ever had the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Disneyland , you are going to LOVE these! These big and bold chocolate chip cookies are based on a recipe from my culinary school studies at Auguste Escoffier, but with a few modifications to give them that Jennuine touch. They make the perfectas book for a fat slice of real vanilla bean ice cream. And those mini chips? You just gotta have that extra cronch! Thank goodness this recipe only makes 8 sandwiches, otherwise I would be eating them for breakfast lunch and dinner. This way, my big family can help save me from my inner child diet-saboteur.

I recall, as a child, going to The Chart House restaurant and looking forward to the basket of freshly baked breads. My favorite was always the dark brown, slightly sweet bread that the servers called "Squaw Bread". I've heard that a similar bread is served at The Cheesecake Factory. The name has gone out of fashion, since "squaw" is a derogatory term for a Native American woman.
The history of this bread can in fact trace its roots to Native American origins when German pioneers combined their traditional German Brown Bread recipe with ingredients available to them through trades with the native people during their westward travels.
No matter how you slice it, this New World German Brown Bread is easy to bake and so wonderfully delicious to eat.

The history of this bread can in fact trace its roots to Native American origins when German pioneers combined their traditional German Brown Bread recipe with ingredients available to them through trade with the native people during their westward travels. No matter how you slice it, this New World German Brown Bread is easy to bake and so wonderfully delicious to eat.
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon honey
1/3 cup molasses
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/4-1/2 cup more
3/4 Whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
Grease a large bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Set aside to proof for 8 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand-mixer, add remaining ingredients. Once yeast begins to bubble (about 8 minutes), add to the flour mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low speed until mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
Turn dough out on to a well floured surface (start with about 1/4 cup AP flour). Knead gently. Add more flour as necessary to form a very soft, but not sticky dough (just a minute or two). Transfer dough to the greased bowl. Flip over so that top of dough is now greased. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for 1 hour. Dough will double in size.
Transfer dough to a greased loaf pan (ceramic or glass is preferable since metal has a tendency to brown the high-sugar content dough too quickly). Cover with a clean dish towel and set aside in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Bake on the center rack of a 350°F for 35 minutes. Remove from pan, then bake for 10 minutes more on the open rack or on a baking stone. Remove and let cool for 30 minutes.
Notes:
I always have a hard time waiting for the bread to cool. I want to dive in right away. However, I've learned that the texture of the bread and even the flavor are much better once the bread has had a chance to cool and rest. Enjoy with plenty of sweet cream butter!

With the Christmas tree curbside, and the ornaments all neatly packed away, I'm thankful for my small collection of winter decorations that can be left out a bit longer to grace my home with their snowy sparkle and winter whimsy. I would have loved to have had the time to share this sweet little tutorial earlier in the season, but the holidays were busy (as they always are). Now that things have slowed down, this may be, perhaps the best time of all to fix yourself a mug of cocoa or coffee and enjoy the process of creating a vintage style paper mache snowman at your leisure. He is sure to bring smiles to all that behold him, all winter long! This is the snowman that my 7-year old made. The real stick arms were her wonderful idea! This is a fun project t o do with children as well. The process is very simple , versatile, and inexpensive. The fram e for the figure is ma de from aluminum foil which can be worked into the shape of characters for any occas...
