Rainy Weather Treats!

Are you having bad weather and don't know how to deal with it? Are you worried about having to cancel your plans? Well, you're not alone, because I feel the same. Luckily, today I have a few treats that I'm sure you'll enjoy during the rainy weather!


1. S'mookies

Ingredients:

1 Icup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon grated whole nutmeg or 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup cold butter, cubed

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cinnamon baking chips

10 tablespoons Biscoff creamy cookie spread

20 large marshmallows

Directions:

1. Place the first six ingredients in a food processor; process until blended. Add butter, cream and vanilla; pulse until dough comes together (do not overmix). Stir in cinnamon chips. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. square cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until cookies begin to brown, 10-12 minutes (do not overbake). Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

3.Preheat broiler. Spread 1 tablespoon cookie spread on bottoms of half of the cookies. Set aside. Place a marshmallow on bottoms of the remaining cookies; transfer to a baking sheet. Broil 5-6 in. from heat until marshmallows are golden brown, 30-45 seconds. Cover with cookie spread halves; press down gently.
