Jack Jack's Num Num Cookies



Jack Jack's Num Num Cookie at Hollywood Studios
As some of you know, we are a Disney loving family!! I so enjoy making Disney inspired dishes at home, so that we can have a little bit of the magic on our table.

Several years ago, I was able to turn my passion for all things Disney into a side job where I can help families, just like yours, plan magical vacations. I'm a Travel Specialist for Second Star Wishes, an Earmarked Agency, and I couldn't love the role more!

I can help you plan a vacation to ANY Disney destination, Universal Orlando, and just about any domestic or international destination you can dream up!

I've had the honor of planning vacations for clients to destinations like:
Disney World
Disneyland Paris
Universal Orlando
The Great Smoky Mountains
Hilton Head Island, SC
Washington DC
New Orleans, LA
Florida beaches
Paris, France
Amsterdam
Munich, Germany
Dubrovnik, Croatia

Just to name a few.

So, friends, please keep me in mind next time you'd like to take a vacation! It would be an honor for me to help you.

Now...on to the cookies!

I have a major weakness for chocolate chip cookies, and Jack Jack’s Num Num Cookie at Hollywood Studios is AMAZING. So, when I saw this recipe, I just HAD to make them. And let me tell you...these are SPECIAL cookies. The secret? Browning the butter. Hands down. Don’t skip that step, because it plays a major role in making these so irresistibly scrumptious! I can also confirm that this recipe tastes pretty identical to the real thing.
❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy!

Ingredients: 1 cup butter (2 Sticks) 1 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp sea salt 1 egg 1 egg yolk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp baking soda 2 1/4 cups flour 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions: Brown butter and let it cool until it begins to solidify. How to brown the butter: Browning butter is quick and easy!  Place 2 sticks of butter into a saucepan over medium heat, stirring as it melts. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges. This is good!  Be sure to keep stirring.  After about 5-8 minutes, the butter will turn a nice, golden brown. Watch for the milk solids on the bottom of the pan to toast.  At this point, be sure and remove from the heat immediately.  It will burn quickly, if you aren’t keeping an eye on it and stirring constantly.  Once it’s ready, it will have a fragrant, nutty/buttery smell.

Cream butter, both sugars and salt in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Mix in whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
Combine the baking soda and flour and mix them with the batter.
Mix in the chocolate chips.
Scoop your batter into balls and chill thoroughly, for at least an hour (preferably overnight).
Bake at 350° for 7-10 minutes or until your cookies are a nice golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
Enjoy!

Absolutely Sinful Cinnamon Rolls

***Alrighty, here are the cinnamon rolls that I mentioned in my previous post. I put these together on Christmas Eve, and then baked them on Christmas morning. Let me just tell you...there's nothing quite like the smell of yummy cinnamon rolls wafting through the house on Christmas morning...ahhhhh...so wonderful! This is going to be a new tradition for us...fresh, homemade rolls on Christmas. I thought that I might try this recipe, and then maybe try a new one next year...until I found one that I really loved. However, I hit the jackpot on the first try! This is THE recipe that I'll always use. UPDATE:   Since originally writing this post in 2008, I've  made these cinnamon rolls every year for Christmas!  They are a holiday tradition that my family looks forward to all year!  You can see my other posts here, with lots more photos of these sinful cinnamon rolls: CHRISTMAS 2009 CHIRSTMAS 2010 CHRISTMAS 2011 The great thing was that I could prepare them on Christmas

My Favorite Quiche!

***It's not often that a recipe is worthy of re-posting.  I think I've only done that once or twice in the entire time I've written this blog.  However, this is one of those rare occasions.  Back in 2009 when Brad and I went to Europe, we had the most amazing Quiche Lorraine at the incredible Les Deux Magots cafe in Paris.  It was delicious and was served alongside a yummy salad of fresh greens (Quiche Lorraine sur Salade Verte).  Oh, it was heaven on a plate!  It also didn't hurt that we were sitting on the patio of one of the most famous cafes in Paris, after all...haha.  The atmosphere and people-watching in that particular area are hard to beat. I'll never forget the elderly lady that was sitting at the table right next to us (the tables were situated pretty close together).  She was dressed to-the-nines, was all by herself, and was just the quintessential, classy Parisian lady.  I wish more than anything that I had tried to strike up a conversation with her

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread - Southern Living

***There seriously aren't very many things that smell better than Banana Nut Bread baking in the oven.   Don't you agree?  This recipe for Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living magazine was one of the very first recipes that I added to this blog...back in November 2007!  In fact, I came across it when I worked for the magazine as a Marketing Intern.  Back then, I didn't have a photo for every recipe, and the blog post was simply the recipe and nothing else.  Because this is my go-to recipe for Banana Nut Bread (and because it is so amazing!), I thought that it deserved a little more attention.  This is quite honestly some of the best Banana Nut Bread that I've ever had.  An entire 8oz. package of cream cheese is added right to the batter, along with 4 mashed bananas.  The cream cheese adds so much to this recipe, with an incredibly moist texture being the main component.  Plus, the roasted pecans are the perfect addition.  Roasting the nuts brings out
