Here are some recipes ranging from a beginners level to that of people who want a challenge. Also, some of these recipes can be inclusive for people with dietary restrictions.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies: Ingredients: - ½ cup of white sugar - ¾ cup of brown sugar - 1 teaspoon of salt - ½ cup of coconut oil or choice of plant based oil - ¼ cup of choice of plant based milk (almond, soy, etc.) - 1 teaspoon of vanilla - 1 ½ cups of flour - ½ teaspoon of baking soda - your choice of vegan chocolate (semi-sweet, dark, ect.) Combine white sugar, brown sugar, salt, and oil into a bowl. Add your choice of milk and vanilla to the mixture and combine them. Next, add flour and baking soda and mix until smooth. Add your desired amount of chocolate and combine. Let your mixture chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Then, place your dough onto a baking sheet and put in the oven for 12- 15 minutes at 350 °F. Enjoy! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies: Ingredients: - 1 cup of softened butter - 1 cup of white sugar - 1 cup of brown sugar - 2 eggs - 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract - 1 can of pumpkin - 4 cups of flour - 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda - 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder - 1 teaspoon of salt - ½ teaspoon of cinnamon - 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice - desired amount of chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, milk-chocolate) Combine butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Next add eggs one at a time and beat in. Add vanilla and pumpkin and stir until blended. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice until mixed together. Stir in desired amount of chocolate chips and other desired ingredient (ex walnuts, raisins). Place dough onto cookie sheets and put in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 375 °F. Cinnamon Rolls Dough: Ingredients: - 2 Cups of warm milk - ½ cup of granulated sugar - ½ cup of melted, unsalted butter - 2 ¼ teaspoon of active dry yeast - 4 cups of flour - additional cup of flour, AFTER dough rises - 1 teaspoon of baking powder - 2 teaspoons of salt In a bowl combine the warm milk, sugar, and MELTED butter. Stir this until the ingredients are equally incorporated. Then add the yeast into the mixture, and then stir to make sure the yeast is also incorporated. Leave the mixture for 10 minutes, to allow the yeast to “bloom” and you will begin to see bubbles. Next, add 4 cups of flour to the mixture and stir until mostly smooth. Then cover your dough and let it rise for 1 hour. Once you have let the dough rise, you will add the additional cup of flour, baking powder, and salt and stir as best as you can. Next you will begin to knead the dough. You may need some additional flour to knead and make the dough less sticky. To knead you can roll, push, and push the dough for about 10 minutes and make sure the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Filling: - ¾ cup of light brown sugar - ¾ cup of softened butter - 2 tablespoons of cinnamon In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, SOFTENED butter, and cinnamon and stir until smooth. This will be spread out onto the dough. Rolling the Dough: To roll the dough you will want to stretch it into a flat rectangular shape. You may want to add some flour to your board where you will roll your dough to make it not stick. Make sure the sides are straight to make rolling it easier. Once the dough is flattened, you can add your filling and spread it out evenly across the dough and to the edges. Now you will actually roll the dough. You will take one side of the dough and begin to roll evenly and tightly all the way through until you reach the end and make a cylinder shape with the dough. Now you can cut the dough into even sections to make individual rolls. Baking: You can place your individual rolls into a pan of your choice, that is buttered or greased. Then, you will let the rolls “proof” for 35-45 minutes. This will allow your rolls to expand a little more before they go into the oven. Once they are proofed, you can place them in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 350 °F. Cream Cheese Frosting: Ingredients - 4 oz of softened cream cheese - 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter - 4 tablespoons of milk - 1 teaspoon of vanilla - 1 cup of powdered sugar Combine the cream cheese, butter, milk, and vanilla into a bowl until combined. Next, add your powdered sugar gradually until smooth. Finally, you can add the frosting to your rolls once they have cooled down and enjoy! Sources: Tasty
