american macarons and happy holidays!

Otherwise known as Whoopie Pies. So called because when men would find them in their lunch boxes they would yell, Whoopie!" And yet just another example of how man´s immaturity has shaped history... (juuuuust kidding... ;))

Recipe:
Cake
2 cups (220g) flour
1/2 cup (60g) cocoa
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (250g) plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick (115g) butter
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
1 egg
Filling
Mix 1 container of Philly cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar.
(All ingredients should be at room temp.)

Combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (Don´t you just love the smell of butter and sugar?) Add egg to butter mixture and mix well. Now add the flour and the yogurt in intervals. Mix well. Drop spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350F (175C). Let cool before adding the filling.

Wishing you all wonderful holidays and much love, happiness, and peace of mind in the New Year!

I´ll be back after the kings´visit (January 6th). ¡Dos besos muy gordos!
