Kitchen Hero Baking Tip #4
Try Nutella...We're stilling testing out our Mocha Cappuccino Cookie Mix recipe, making sure it will be both delicious and versatile in any home kitchen. This time we tried it with NUTELLA filling (creamy hazelnut and chocolate paste) to compliment the rich aroma of coffee in the cookie mix. We think these flavors are a winning combination!...

Tired of the same old butter or sugar cookie? Next time try your favorite recipe with Nutella filling. Here's how... Just add more flour to your butter or sugar cookie dough until it is the same consistency as clay or playdough (you want very firm and rather dry not soft dough). This allows you to shape the dough into round balls while hollowing out the center with your finger to make room for the filling.

Then use a Ziploc plastic bag (no fancy tools needed) with a small cut in the corner to squeeze in the Nutella filling, leaving some room (do not fill to full) to pinch the opening of the dough closed before baking. Final dough with filling is about 2 inches round before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to the usual baking time. There's really no wrong way to do it. Be brave and experiment. Your kids will have so much fun helping!

Kitchen Hero Baking Tip #3
Making Banana Bread Muffins with our Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix is super easy and delicious! Perfect for brunch if you have really old bananas that have browned or turned black. Read on to learn how....DIRECTIONS: Mix all wet and dry ingredients (1 bag cookie mix) according to the instructions on the cookie mix bag, EXCEPT substitute the butter with 1/3 cup of vegetable OIL, and ADD 1 cup of very ripe MASHED BANANAS. Optionally add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg if you like. Fill muffin cups to at least 3/4 full (about 1/3 cup of prepared muffin mixture). Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes until medium brown, or until toothpick inserted in thickest part of muffin comes out clean. Makes 6 - 8 muffins. Enjoy!

Kitchen Hero Baking Tip #2
Wishing for a White Christmas? We can't help with that but we can help give your cookies a lift. Just add some snowflakes! ... In this case add 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes to dry cookie mix which makes a thicker batter. Then roll dough in coconut flakes before baking. Add 3-4 minutes to the typical bake time depending on your oven, or bake until medium brown. Then sprinkle some more on after baking if you like! Smells nutty and fragrant.
