Revisiting Bob

In the past, I've found Bob's Red Mill products to be lacking in the flavor (particularly sugar and fat) department...but I had a mix, and needed a safe potluck option. So I mixed the Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix together, and baked it as a cookie bar.

I almost didn't bake it, as Mom always taught me that the cookie will taste like the dough...This dough had a very strong bean flour flavor, and I was scared. I made a quick chocolate frosting (1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 stick of butter and about 2 tsp. Cardamom) hoping to cover some of the bean flavor.

I pulled the bars out of the oven, frosted them, and walked out the door (did I mention that I was also running a little late?) and presented my un-tasted experiment to the potluck. It ended up not being bad. It was still very crumbly (I'm glad I didn't make cookies), and the frosting was great. I probably will stick with my Domata flour for now, but this would definitely be an OK substitute for a graham cracker crust if necessary.

And sorry, no pictures...I finished off the last one last night :)

Getting started here...

I'm working on getting this going...hopefully sometime in the next 2-3 weeks, I'll have my format ready and be up and running.
