Pupa cookbook chocolate chip biscotti recipe, you mix it with a fork and you can make cookies or biscotti out of it.

1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup choc chips

1/2 tsp cinnamon with 2 tsp sugar mix and sprinkle on top of the 2 logs formed.

Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes

Cut into pieces and rebake for 10 minutes.

Disclaimer: this is from my memory although I think it's pretty accurate

Tip 1: I never rebake it after I cut it, it's much softer like that which we enjoy
Tip 2: I add 1/2 cup oats to it to make it slightly healthier and it's yum

If you have access to the cookbook please feel free to correct me. Thanks

Sky, if I don't use a bundt pan, what size pan would I use for the cinnamon cake? TIA.

I think the original recipe was a 9x13 with a crumb topping. I like the crumb topping. But I think ra_mom likes better without. Crumbs are here:

Fool-proof. I make all sorts of other flavors by substituting flour for the cocoa powder (usually about half the amount) and adding a teaspoon of the other extract (in addition to the vanilla). Lemon is a family favorite.

Only two changes: use a bowl. It is very hard to mix even the thinnest batter in a pan. And use parchment paper. It just makes life easier.

I have also made wonderful cupcakes with this recipe.

Lol. I literally just made this.
Wanted the quickest cake possible for Shabbat and this is my go-to for chocolate cake.
Definitely mix in bowl. I grease the pan.
I also sometimes make cupcakes with it Very Happy

. Sometimes I add chocolate chips to the cupcakes.
To gussy it up I sometimes make a quick glaze from coconut cream + bittersweet chocolate.

This cookie recipe is so easy. I normally double it and bake as a log and slice. 1 recipe make squares in 8x8.
It’s easy to dress up and many times I’ll drizzle with chocolate and nuts for a kiddush.
1 times the recipe mixes easily in a bag so don’t even make a bowl dirty.
It is very good.

Would you mind sharing the carrot and lemon cake please?

Carrot Cake

4 large eggs
1 cup oil
1 - 1 1/3 cups sugar
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour (a drop less if adding granola)
1 cup chopped nuts
1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
1 pound carrots, peeled and finely shredded

Combine and bake 1 hour at 350° F.

You can sub 1/2 cup granola with or without 1/2 choc chips for the 1 cup of nuts. Use a little less than the 2 cups flour in such a case due to oatmeal in the granola.

I don't think anybody mentioned this:
http://overtimecook.com/2014/0.....tter/

Ingredients
1 cup oil
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2½ cups flour
1 bag (about 1 -1 ½ cups) good quality chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together oil and sugars until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, eggs, and cornstarch, beating well to combine after each addition. Add flour and beat until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Scoop the dough using a medium cookie scoop (or a heaping tablespoon) onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, until the tops are set. Do not overbake.

Thank you for educating me.
Would it still for some need to be Kemach Yashan?
I am sure there are those who only use heimish brands.

Duncan hines is not heimish brand/heimish hechsher so ppl that are makpid on that wouldn't use.
Yoshon depends on manufacturing dates. Any product could be yoshon or not. Ppl that are makpid on yoshon can check on yoshon.com

Chewy choc chip stix

1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c flour
1/3 c oil
1/2 pkg choc chips

I mix in bag - but you can use a bowl.
First sugars and egg. Then until the oil. Then oil. Then chips. Shaking bag well between steps.
Don’t double in bag. Use a bowl or 2 bags.
I shape into a log. Or pat into 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 20 mins.
I always double bec the original doesn’t make a lot.

Sometimes turn it into spice cookies with this added to the recipe:
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 T Cocoa
Replace choc chips with white choc chips

Also mocha cake from by cookbook is fantastic.

There are so many great recipies that don’t need mixers I rarely take mine out. If I really need I’ll use my food processor when making potato kugel to beat eggs.

I make a bundt cake every Shabbos and cycle through the mocha cake, chocolate cake, cinnamon cake, lemon cake. Never need a mixer. Sometimes I’ll try something different but these are the ones I fall back too.

Karat or Sky, would you be able to post the mocha cake? Thanks!
