我的甜点进行时（１）

４个星期前我决定为我们公司的员工每星期做一次甜点。本人从来没做过甜点，就连平时的菜饭都很少做。所以，从最简单的开始。

COOKIES是最简单的。从GROCERY STORE买来现成冷冻的PACKAGE，按包装上的INSTRUCTION放到烤箱里即可。我第一第二星期就是把warm and fresh homemade cookies带到公司去。（图就省略了）。

做了两次COOKIES后，WARMUP结束，开始按书上的RECIPES做。记得电影"Julie & Julia", blogger Julie Powell(Amy Adams) challenge to cook all the recipes in Julia Child's (Meryl Streep) first book. 并把她学做的菜写进她的BLOG。我也把我学做的甜点，一个一个记录到我的BLOG里，和网友们交流。我记录的不仅是我做过的RECIPE，而是我对公司及员工的爱。

第三星期：FROSRED PECANS

1 egg white
1 tsp. cold water
1 lb. large pecan halves
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt

Beat egg white with water in mixer bowl until frothly. Stir in pecans. Mix remaining ingredients in small bowl. Add to pecans; mix well. Spread on baking sheet. Bake at 225 degrees for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cool. Place in decorative airtight containers. Yield: 1 pound.

注：这样慢烤出来的PECANS香，脆，甜。受到广泛好评。

第四星期：HONEY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

1/2 c. melted margarine (I use butter)
1/4 c. unsweetened baking cocoa
1 c. honey
2 eggs, beaten
1 and 1/2 c. whole wheat flower
1 tsp. baking power
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped walnuts


Combine first 4 ingredients in bowl; mix well. Sift in flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Stir in vanilla and walnuts. Pour into greased 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool. Cut into squares. Yield: 1 and 1/2 dozen.

注：我用玻璃烤盘，３０分钟。本RECIPE用HONEY代替SUGAR，低糖健康。既有蜂蜜的香味又没有糖那么甜。
