Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets

My blog up to this point has been mostly directed toward eating health organic foods.  For this post I'm going to change things up a bit and talk about desserts! (organic desserts of course).

After thinking about some of my favorite recipes, I wanted to revamp them by switching out common ingredients for organic ingredients.

The first dessert that I think about when considering my favorites are Pizzales.  Pizzales are Italian sugar cookies that are served just about every time of the year, but I especially enjoy them during Christmas time!

Below I have referenced a site that provides a basic recipe for pizzales (because my granny's is secret) and I have modified the recipe in order to include organic ingredients.

Pizzale Recipe

In order to modify this recipie, swap out your eggs, flour, sugar, butter and flavor of your choice (vanilla extract, orange etc) FOR ORGANIC!!

It is important to note that this recipe requires a special cookie iron called a Pizzale Iron.  I recommend purchasing this product at an Italian deli.  My personal experience of trying to buy one of these irons at other cooking appliance stores has been unsuccessful and has resulted in iffy heat variations and inconsistent baking timers.  If you live in Colorado, I particularly recommend my uncle's deli: Carmine Lonardo's Italian Meat Deli.(see link below for directions and contact information)

By making this switch you will be able to take pride in a home-baked cookie and be able to indulge without worry.
