Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies

ingredients:

7 ounces chopped dark chocolate
½ cup candied ginger
1 ½ cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
8 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup Steen's Syrup or dark molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup sugar for rolling the dough balls

instructions:

How to cook Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies

Chop chocolate into 1/4 inch chunks. Chop or crumble the candied ginger. Set both aside.
In a medium bowl sift together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cocoa powder, and salt.
In another bowl beat the butter with the grated ginger until it becomes pale and blended. Add in brown sugar and molasses and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl and beat again.
In a small bowl combine the baking soda with 2 teaspoons of boiling hot water. Mix half the flour mixture into the butter mixture and add in the dissolved baking soda. Blend in the remaining flour mixture.
Stir in the chocolate and chopped candied ginger. Scoop out half the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap and pat into a flat loaf. Seal it up and repeat with the remaining dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Or bag and freeze for baking later.
Heat oven to 325°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silpat liner. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and then roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart and bake on baking sheet 7-9 minutes. Let cool slightly and tranfer to rack to cool completely.

NOTES:

I usually make these cookies around the holidays, but they are wonderful any time of year. A grown-up gingerbread cookie!

Bob's Eggs Benedict

ingredients:

Poached Eggs

8 fresh eggs
2 quarts water
½ cup white vinegar

Hollandaise Sauce

3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cold water
2 sticks cold water
1 dash sriracha
salt & pepper

Eggs Benedict

8 slices Canadian bacon
4 English muffins
1 tablespoon chopped chives

instructions:

How to cook Bob's Eggs Benedict

Make the hollandaise first by whisking the eggs in a double boiler or a bowl over a simmering pot of water on the stove. Whisk until they become thick and add in the water and lemon juice. Continue to whisk as you slowly add the cold butter piece by piece. The sauce should thicken to a creamy consistency. If it gets too hot, just remove from heat and continue whisking.
Season with salt & pepper, sriracha, and if needed more lemon juice. Taste to adjust seasoning.
Set aside over the warm warm water-- do not boil.
Toast the english muffins and place them open faced on plates.
Place the canadian bacon in shallow pan with a little water and warm on the stove.
Poach the eggs according to Bob's Poached Egg Recipe below.

Bob's Poached Eggs

Fill a 12 inch pan with approximately 2 quarts water to fill ¾ full.
Add in the vinegar and stir.
Bring to just below a full boil, about 185°.
Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl and add the eggs gently to the water in a clockwise circle. (As quickly as you can without breaking an egg!)
Cook the eggs for 4 minutes from the time you add the last egg.
Remove each egg in the order that you added them with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Assemble the eggs benedict by adding the warm canadian bacon to the muffin half. Next, add a drained poached egg to each muffin, and top each with warm hollandaise. Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for color and garnish with chopped chives.

Preheat oven to 350° and spray 3 mini baking tins with non-stick spray.
Mix together the egg nog, butter, sugar, eggs, rum, and vanilla in your mixer with wire whisk attachment.

Combine flour, pudding mix, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and sift together.
Add slowly to the wet mixture and blend quickly, scraping down the sides a few times. Don't over mix.
Divide mixture between 3 mini baking tins and bake for about 30 minutes or until the loaves are just done and a toothpick comes out clean.
While they are baking make the Dark Rum Glaze by whisking the powdered sugar with the egg nog, rum, and nutmeg.
When the loaves come out of the oven, poke some holes in the top with a toothpick or chopstick and then drizzle with glaze.
