Otherwise known as Whoopie Pies. So called because when men would find them in their lunch boxes they would yell, Whoopie!" And yet just another example of how man´s immaturity has shaped history... (juuuuust kidding... ;))
Recipe:
Cake
2 cups (220g) flour
1/2 cup (60g) cocoa
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (250g) plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick (115g) butter
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
1 egg
Filling
Mix 1 container of Philly cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar.
(All ingredients should be at room temp.)
Combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (Don´t you just love the smell of butter and sugar?) Add egg to butter mixture and mix well. Now add the flour and the yogurt in intervals. Mix well. Drop spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350F (175C). Let cool before adding the filling.
Wishing you all wonderful holidays and much love, happiness, and peace of mind in the New Year!
I´ll be back after the kings´visit (January 6th). ¡Dos besos muy gordos!

Every year Vitoria puts a giant Nativity scene in a park near my home. This year I took Coco with me to check it out. Lets just say The Cocster left it a little more authentic... She almost got my arrested. (Stop laughing Joyce!)
Sending you warm hugs!

still dreaming about france...
It´s been a long rainy week that seems to be dragging on. Hope there is sunshine where you are. And if not, we always have France. ;)
P.S. Does anyone know how to post bigger pictures on Blogger? I can´t figure it out.... Can´t find the directions for the 5 and under crowd. :)
Besos!
