Christmas Chocolate Drops #DoveDark

November 5, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design No Comments

Hi Everyone,

Well it’s that time of the year! I can’t get over we are already into November and you know what next month is, Christmas!! Since the holiday season is pretty much here, I thought I would start early and share with you today my first Christmas cookie of the year. Yes, I know what your thinking, gosh Jen, Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet. Well I honestly figure there is no specific time of the year for cookies, especially ones like these!! Plus for all you holiday bakers, it’s time to start planning and making your list of cookies you want to make, gift and eat!!
Christmas Chocolate Drops #DoveDark
These are Dove’s Chocolate Christmas Chocolate Drop cookies and let me tell you the name says it all!! They are so chocolaty, light, a little chewy and simply perfect! My Husband took them to work and they got rave reviews. His friend Yvonne said these cookies are “the bomb”. lol He took just about all of them in and he said by the end of the work day all 50 cookies were gone! Darn it, I was hoping he would bring some home.
Christmas Chocolate Drops #DoveDark
These cookies are made with Dove® Dark Chocolate. Have you ever had Dove’s Dark Chocolate? Oh my gosh your missing out if you haven’t. The chocolate is so rich, creamy, smooth and simply melts in your mouth. As I was making the cookies, I kept a chocolate in my mouth and just let it melt. It helped me keep my fingers out of the batter. Besides melting in my mouth, the chocolate is awesome for melting in general. When I made these cookies I had to melt 1/2 the bag of chocolate and they melted like a dream. Sometimes I find it hard to melt chocolate, it can be so temperamental, but not these chocolates.

Making these cookies were pretty easy too. I melted my chocolate over a double boiler, but I think you could melt them in the microwave too. When the chocolate was cooling I made my cookie dough. The cookies contain only a 1/3 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of unsweetened chocolate. Now you have the idea how light these cookies are, plus they are low carb! To give the cookies a slight crunch I added 2 cups of pecans. I chopped them real fine in my food processor. I also used my food processor to chop the remaining 1/2 a bag of chocolate that went into the cookies. Yes, more chocolate please!

A sweet, light, rich chocolaty cookie made with Dove's Dark Chocolate and pecans.
Serves: 53 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 bag DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate
  • 8 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 cups chopped nuts: such as walnuts, pecans or toasted almonds (I used pecans)
  • 2 cookie sheet pans
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the sheet pans with foil and set aside.
  2. Melt half of the DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate (17 pieces)with the butter in the top of a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, roughly chop the remaining chocolate and set aside.
  3. To make the batter, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light yellow, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour mixture and cooled chocolate and beat for 1 minute. Fold in the remaining chopped DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate and nuts.
  4. Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet pans about 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until just firm. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet pans.

Christmas Chocolate Drops #DoveDark
These cookies are a chocolate lovers dream! If you know a chocolate lover, like my Husband, then you should so make these cookies. I had to keep slapping my Husbands hand from taking my chocolate!! So when you make these cookies, keep everyone out of the kitchen, otherwise the chocolate will disappear! lol better yet buy a few bags of it!

A little scoop about DOVE® Chocolate, did you know if you pick up a bag of DOVE® Dark Chocolate, you’ll notice a “little green frog seal” on each package. This seal means that DOVE® sources 100% of its cocoa for its Dark Chocolate products from Rainforest Alliance Certified Farms. Rainforest Alliance Certified farms meet several environmental and labor standards, which is good for the environment and cocoa farmers around the world. I love that!! I had to steal this photo from Dove’s Website, hope they don’t mind. I love the little frog! He’s so cute! he he

I can’t wait to bake up more cookies the next couple of months. I have to say they are one of my favorite things to make during the holidays. Giving cookies always brings so much joy to everyone!

Have a wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
