Soft Gingerbread Cookies

These cookies are fantastic with a glass of cold milk or a cup of tea or coffee.

They are a simple yet elegant cookie for a holiday cookie exchange. Santa will sing your praises if you put out a plate on Christmas eve!

Soft Gingerbread Cookies
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon Watkins Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Watkins Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Ground Allspice
1/2 Watkins Ground Cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Granulated Black Pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup unsulfured molasses
1 large egg
Turbinado sugar or other coarse sugar

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and set aside.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and shortening until smooth and well-combined. Add the brown sugar and beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the molasses and egg. Gradually mix in the flour mixture by adding spoonful by spoonful. While adding flour mixture keep the mixer set on low so that the flour does not fly out of the bowl. (Trust me I know from experience!) Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.

Form dough into balls about 3/4 inches in diameter. Dip the top in the sugar or roll the entire cookie in sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges of cookies are firm and look dry. Do not overbake so cookies are soft in the middle. I baked my cookies about 12-14 minutes. Time depends on the size of the dough balls. These cookies do not flatten out much so it is difficult to tell how done they are.

Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I made these cookies without the granulated black pepper and they were absolutely delicious. Adding the black pepper will make them more spicy.

I found the original recipe at theKitchn.

Banana Spice Bread

My family loves banana bread and I've tried several recipes, some with nuts and some without. I never waste over ripe bananas. When they get too ripe to eat I put them in a bag and throw them in the freezer. Then when we crave banana bread I'm prepared.

This recipe is from Watkins Incorporated and uses several gourmet ingredients.

Banana Spice Bread

1/3 cup/80 mL vegetable shortening
1/2 cup/125 mL sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp/5 mL Watkins Original Double-Strength Vanilla
3/4 tsp/4 mL Watkins Banana Extract
1-3/4 cups/440 mL all-purpose flour
1 tsp/5 mL Watkins Baking Powder
1-1/2 tsp/7.5 mL Watkins Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp/2.5 mL baking soda
1/2 tsp/2.5 mL Watkins Sea Salt
1/4 tsp/1.2 Watkins Ground Nutmeg
1 cup/250 mL mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup/125 mL chopped walnuts

Grease bottom and sides of a 9 × 5-inch/23 × 13-cm loaf pan; set aside. In large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs and vanilla and banana extracts until well combined. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Add alternately with bananas to sugar mixture; mix well. Stir in nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350°F/180ºC for 45 to 50 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool in pan on rack 5 minutes. Turn out of pan and cool completely on rack. To store, wrap tightly and refrigerate.
Makes 1 loaf, 12 servings.

Welcome and thanks for choosing me as your Watkins Consultant! I appreciate you!

I'm one of those people who loves summer. August is usually the hottest month of the year in our neck of the woods. So far temperatures have been below normal and very pleasant. We picked up some fresh peaches at a fruit stand and they are bursting with flavor. We usually get most of our produce from the supermarket and I'd forgotten how delicious peaches could taste! Sadly, this fruit stand is more than an hour's drive away.

Shop at my personal website www.NotJustVanilla.com. You'll see a page with my photo and a message from me, as well as, some blog entries if you scroll down the page. If you place an online order at my website www.NotJustVanilla.com or at www.JRWatkins.com "Create a Customer Account" and please give my Consultant ID# 335001 when asked if you "Shop with a Watkins Consultant."

Iced Coffee Drink - Frappuccino

I'm not a coffee drinker but I've been making iced coffee for my hubby as the outdoor temps reach 100 degrees F and above here in Northern California. Iced coffee is a delicious cool treat.

I can make a Frappuccino at home in minutes for a fraction of the cost you'd pay for a Starbucks-style iced coffee. And this recipe has fewer calories unless you indulge by adding Caramel Whipped Cream to top it off.

This recipe makes 24 ounces of iced coffee drink, enough for two generous Frappuccinos.

Frappuccino
3 cups ice cubes
1 cup cold strong coffee, brewed and chilled
1/2 cup milk or more depending on taste
sugar free sweetener, to taste
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoons fat free whipped topping or 2 tablespoons Caramel Whipped Cream

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in the canister of a blender and blend until combined, less than 1 minute. Taste and adjust with a splash more coffee, milk, dash of sweetener, or a few ice cubes.
2. Garnish with whipped topping or Caramel Whipped Cream. Serve immediately.

You can also add a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping as a finishing touch. You'll have to warm the caramel a little in the microwave so it will drizzle.

Caramel Whipped Cream for Cool Summer Desserts!

Whipped Cream is a yummy addition to any dessert. Cool and creamy!

Caramel Whipped Cream adds a little pizazz and tastes terrific on apple pie, ice cream sundaes, bread pudding, brownies, iced coffee drinks, dessert waffles, and the list goes on!

Here's how to make Caramel Whipped Cream at home.

Caramel Whipped Cream
One cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 - 1 teaspoon Watkins Caramel Extract

Chill mixing bowl and beaters. Pour in cold cream. Whip until soft peaks form. Add brown sugar one tablespoon at a time. Add caramel extract and beat until firm peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Serve immediately on dessert of your choice. Whipped cream can be stored covered in the refrigerator for several hours.

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Coconut Pecan Frosting

The finely grated carrots add wonderful moistness and hidden nutrition to these cupcakes. I love the rich cream cheese frosting. The coconut, pecans, and raisins give the frosting texture. My family really liked these tender cupcakes. I will use this recipe again and again.

I adapted the original recipe for Carrot Cupcakes using Watkins Gourmet Ingredients.

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Coconut Pecan Frosting
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Watkins Cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon Watkins Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Watkins Allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups finely grated carrots

Cream Cheese Coconut Pecan Frosting
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chopped raisins

Beat the eggs, sugar and oil in a large bowl. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, allspice and salt. Gradually add to the egg mixture. Stir in the finely grated carrots. I prefer using finely grated carrots because they disappear into the batter as they bake.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full of batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Baking time varies depending on the amount of batter in each muffin cup and individual oven temperatures.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

For the Frosting
Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy in a large bowl. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in the coconut, pecans and raisins. Frost the cooled cupcakes. Store in the refrigerator. Yield 2 dozen cupcakes.

 The frosting in the photo above shows flaked coconut and chopped pecans. I didn't use chopped raisins. Use the ingredients for your personal taste.

These cupcakes would make a delicious Easter dessert. Use more coconut and omit the pecans and raisins. Decorate with tiny candy Easter eggs.

Make your life the best it can be. Eat nutritious foods, exercise, love, and laugh!

A Vision That Began in 1868

Watkins is an historic company. For details about our business opportunity go to http://www.tsginfo.com/ew4346  Continue reading to learn a little about Watkins history.

Watkins has been a family owned business since its beginning by J.R. Watkins in 1868. After J.R's death in 1911 his descendants, the Watkins and Kings, carried on the business, and since 1978 the Jacobs family continues the Watkins’ tradition of manufacturing the highest quality products. Watkins is a true success story. From J.R.'s kitchen in Plainview, Minnesota in 1868 to today's administration building and manufacturing facilities in Winona, Minnesota Watkins has always been a leader in superior quality products and customer service.

Did you know that the architecturally significant administration building in Winona was completed at a cost of $1.2 million in 1912, over 100 years ago! It was designed by Prairie School architect George Washington Maher and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The front entrance includes a window designed by stained-glass artist Louis J. Millet, depicting Sugar Loaf Mountain, a local landmark. The building includes Italian tile and marble, Tiffany-style glass, and other exquisite details. When looking straight up from the building's marble rotunda, visitors will see the free standing dome with 24-karat gold leaf.

A ten-story manufacturing plant was completed in 1913 that uses a gravity fed system in its manufacturing process.

Did you know that 90% of Watkins production capacity was dedicated to the World War II Allied effort. Products included Pure Dried Whole Eggs, Dessert Powder, Gelatin Desserts, Lemon Juice Powder, Orange Beverage Base Powder, Louse Powder, and Insecticide Powder for Body Crawling Insects. Watkins has always been a leader in natural products. Today we offer superior quality spices, herbs, and extracts as well as personal care and home care products that at 95% to 100% natural.
