Food Processor Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
This chocolate whipped cream frosting will add an extra special topping to any dessert. Typical frostings are too sweet for my taste. Instead, I prefer a whipped cream frosting, and adding cocoa powder makes it even better. Simple and delicious!
Poop Emoji Cookies
Since my daughter is obsessed with emojis and especially the poop emoji, for her birthday this year I made these poop emoji cookies as a treat to share with her class. Needless to say, they were a huge hit! They are based on a German cookie recipe and are different than American cookies — pretty dry and not very sweet as in Germany cookies are always eaten with tea or coffee. I'll be making them again as Halloween cookies.
