Recipes For Mata Hari
you asked for it, you got it. sorry guys, what follows doesn't actually tell you how to make mata hari- but these recipes might be good enough to get you your own woman of your dreams:
super easy chocolate mousse:
1-1/2 sticks margarine
3/4 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
beat together for 20 minutes. freeze. (don't skimp on the full 20 minutes...)
*******************************************************************************
amazing lemon mousse:
16 oz. dessert whip
12 oz marshmallow fluff
2 cans lemon pie filling (i have also used cherry, which is good, too)
whip the whip, fold in the fluff, mix in the pie filling. freeze. yum.
********************************************************************************
chocolate heavenly pillow cookies (my dad named them- what can i say?- he says they taste like little chocoalte pillows from heaven- see for yourself...):
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup cocoa
3 eggs
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1-3/4 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
powdered (confectioner's) sugar
combine sugar and oil, then add cocoa, beating until well blended. beat in eggs and vanilla. add dry ingredients, mixing well.
cover dough and put in fridge until dough is firm- about 4-6 hours.
preheat oven to 350. grease cookie sheet (even if you use foil). roll dough into 1 inch balls, then roll balls in powdered sugar, and place a few inches apart on cookie sheet.
bake 11-13 minutes. (less time for more fudgy cookies, longer for firmer ones) cool slightly and remove from cookie sheets to cool the rest of the way. this recipe can be doubled (or tripled if your mixer is big enough) and the cookies freeze really well.

hope that's enough to get you started. now go buy some board games, and you could be an official satellite outpost of the blogblond network. good luck and happy desserting!!!

although if any (cute) guy does actually choose to go to the trouble of preparing one of these, he might win me over :)

BB -
Long time. I just wanted to tell you Chocolate Heavenly Pillow Cookies (or whatever you called them) were a big hit as our Shabbat dinner dessert.

Me again, I was surprised that a self proclaimed 'cookie whore' would not recommend people use a Silpat instead of greasing the cookie sheet.

hi lisa! glad you liked them! but what is a silpat?

Clearly you do not watch Martha. A silpat is a plastic (probably silicone) mat that fits into your cookie sheet. Nothing sticks to it.

You forgot to mention to be careful not to overwhip. It's a common problem with those who lack experience.
Silpats are often not good for cakes and cookies as there's nothing for them to grab onto. With surfaces that really don't stick, cakes often fall. I recommend spraying a cake pan with non-stick spray, then coating with flour.
