[Lekooks] Claire's dessert recipes from Church Potluck & Haskell Party

[C J]

Hi Fellow Lekooks,
I was asked by several people what recipes I used for the July 7th church potluck picnic and also Haskell's potluck party (July 13th).
I don't recall what the rules are for lekook emails - but if others want to share their recipes, too, we can start an "E-recipe book" online and figure out where to post them.  This can go for all good foods, not just desserts!
*The recipes I have used are not my own - all of them either discovered online or on the back of chocolate chip packages :)
Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies (July 7th potluck):-2+1/4 cups gluten-free all purpose flour (I use King Arthur brand)-1 tsp baking soda-1/2 tsp salt-1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened-3/4 cup organic cane sugar-3/4 cup organic brown sugar-2 tsp vanilla extract-2 organic eggs-10 oz 60% cacao chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli brand)-OPTIONAL - 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven to 375 F.  Stir flour with baking soda, and salt, set aside.  Beat butter with sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy.  Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated.  Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture.  Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts if desired).  Drop by rounded tablespoon (roll gently into formed balls) onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Back for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
Peanut Butter Cookies (Haskell Party July 13th)-1/2 cup organic cane sugar-1/2 cup organic brown sugar-1/2 cup creamy peanut butter-1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened-1 organic egg-1+1/2 cup all purpose organic flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour)-3/4 tsp baking soda-1/2 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 375 F.  Blend first five ingredients with a mixer until smooth, Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder.  Roll into balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Cookies should develop a crinkled look on the top.
Gluten-free Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Himalayan Salt Garnish (Haskell Party July 13th)-2 cups gluten-free flour (can substitute with all purpose flour)-1 cup organic rolled oats-1 tsp baking powder-1/2 tsp ground organic cinnamon-1/2 tsp sea salt-1 cup organic brown sugar-1/2 cup organic cane sugar-1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened-2 organic eggs-1 10 oz package dark chocolate chunks (see photo included for reference)-OPTIONAL 1 cup chopped walnuts-fine ground Himalayan pink salt
Preheat oven to 350 F.  In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.  In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, sugar, and butter.  Beat well and then add the eggs one at a time, along with vanilla.  Turn mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour/oat mixture to the creamed mixture until well combined.  Fold in the chocolate chunks (and walnuts if desired).  Drop by rounded tablespoon (roll into formed balls) onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 12-13 minutes.  **When the cookies come out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the Himalayan pink salt onto each cookie before transferring to wire rack to cool - it's important to do this right away, otherwise the salt doesn't stick to the cookie.  Let cool before eating.

I substituted King Arthur brand gluten-free flour for this cake.  Organic carrots are sweeter in taste, so I tend to use those over regular carrots.  Also please note the baking instructions for a 9 x 13 pan are at the end of the recipe - the times differ between that and the layer-cake.
Happy baking!
Warmly,Claire Johnson
