Rosh Chodesh Moons

I was asked for a dessert for Rosh Chodesh.  The Jewish calendar follows the moons cycle... 

These little chocolate puff pastry croissants are so easy to make and oh my goodness so delicious!!! 

To Make...

Ingredients:

roll puff patry

sugar and cocoa mixture (1/2 cup sugar and 1 Tbls cocoa)

Method:

Roll out the puff pastry and cut into squares.  Then cut the squares into quarters and each quarter in half to make little triangles.  It kinda looks like the Union Jack ;)

put some of the cocoa/sugar mixture in the middle of each triangle...

...and roll.

place on a baking sheet and shape into a 'C'.

Paint with beaten egg and bake in preheated oven set to 180C(360F)

Allow to cool

May you all have a Wonderful Shabbos and a Chodesh Tov!

Parshas Korach

In Parshas Korach we learn that Korach, Dasan and Aviram, start a rebellion against Moshe.  The ground splits open and swallows Dasan and Aviram.  Korach is by the entrance to the Mishkan.  Afire consumes him and he is pulled into this hole in the ground.  

These are Earth Quake cookies.  

they are chocolate cookies, rolled in icing sugar, and when baked, expand and give the earth quake look.

A few weeks ago, my sister sent me this picture...

A peak into her oven.  Straight away I thought of Parshas Korach- I mean seriously? How brilliant? Earthquake cookies? 

So I set to the kitchen... and baked... and baked... and none of my recipes looked as perfect as my sisters cookies!

I mean they were yum and all... but I mean really? look at them...a little nebbech right?

SO..... I admitted to defeat... Got my sisters recipe... and pictures... and here they are!

She adapted the recipe from Kosher by designs Zebra cookies...

1/2 cup oil

2 cups flour

1 cup cocoa powder
