I do a lot of baking, so I jumped at the opportunity to try Nielsen-Massey’s Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract. I’ve heard great things about their vanilla. They sent me a bottle, and I’ve used it in several different recipes.
It was finally time to do my Christmas baking. I spend all day on Christmas Eve just baking away. I always use nothing but the best, quality products for my baking. I put tons of love in all of my baked goods, and I’m not going to bake with products that are second best and feed them to friends and family! I only use pure Vanilla Extract, never vanilla “flavoring”. Vanilla extract is vanilla straight from the vanilla pod. Nothing tastes better than the authentic product itself.
When I opened this bottle of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla, I could tell instantly that this was quality vanilla. I used it in my pumpkin drop, chocolate crackle, sugar, and chocolate chip cookies. My cookies this year tasted better than ever! I received so many compliments on them!
I have also made french toast with this vanilla, twice. I just add a splash of vanilla to the eggs and milk, before I soak it up with fresh sliced Italian bread. and fry it up in a little bit of oil. The splash of vanilla really gave it a wonderful flavor! And I never measure my vanilla. In my opinion, it’s one ingredient that can only enhance the flavor of whatever you are making, so you can’t really put too much in. If you’ve never tried Vanilla in your french toast, try it. You’ll definitely notice the difference!
Would you like the recipe for the BEST sugar cookies ever?
Recipe:
1 Cup Butter (softened)
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
3 Eggs
A splash of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla (or 1 Tsp)
3 1/2 Cups Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl.
4. Slowly add dry mixture to butter mixture.
5. When completely mixed, place in fridge for about 1 hour.
6. Take dough out of fridge and place some flour on your surface. Roll out about 1/5 of the dough with a rolling pin. Roll to about 1/4 an inch thick. (Thinner if you prefer crispier, thinner cookies) 7. Cut out cookies with cutter. Today I used a round biscuit cutter.8. Place cookies on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
9. Take cookies out of oven and directly on cooling racks.
11. Frost the cookies and let them lay out until the frosting has dried. When I frost them I also like to add festive sprinkles too. If you stack them with the frosting not dried yet, they will stick to each other, so be sure the frosting has dried!
