Master Baker – Cinnamon!
I haven’t been baking or blogging much this month. Life in Boston has been cold and wet and work has been keeping me really busy. I have made over 5 dozen of these chocolate cupcakes that are AWESOME and so easy to make. We had friends in town, I had the flu one weekend and I attended a Vegan Cupcake baking class one weekend. So like I said, it’s been a busy month.
I wanted to participate in the first ever Master Baker blogging event. The rules are simple – bake something with the ingredient specified. I was in the mood for some cookies and these guys really hit the spot. They made the house smell delicious. I enjoyed a couple crumbled over ice cream and some warm homemade applesauce. YUM.
I followed the recipe exactly, except I used Egg Beaters since we didn’t have any eggs. I used my cookie scoop and got 36 cookies and they took the entire 12 minutes to bake. The dough looked like cinnamon ice cream. I wanted to eat it all without cooking it…
Cinnamon Cookies – recipe from Allrecipes.com – makes 36
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Cream together butter and sugar.
Mix in egg and molasses, blending well.
Mix flour, baking soda and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
(I chilled the dough for about 15 minutes in the fridge) Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

I made this for my family get-together and everyone loved it. It came out pretty soggy, though, so I’ll need to try to get the extra juices out of the fruits before cooking. I also didn’t pre-heat the baking pan under the pie dish so that may have contributed too. Thanks for this recipe!

So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Outstanding! We were able to use our fresh peaches and sweet cherries to make this wonderful pie. I did make the following adjustments: I only used half cup of sugar in the pie filling, and in the crumble topping I used 1/4 brown sugar and 2 tbsp. sugar, and I reduced the butter to 3 tbsp. melted. I used a fork to press the crumble ingredients together (in pastry cutter style) until it became crumbly. It was absolutely delicious and I know I’ll be making it again and again.
