February 12 - National Biscotti Day

Biscotti is an oblong cookie that originated in Europe and is often enjoyed with coffee, tea, milk, or wine. The word "biscotti" comes from the Medieval Latin word biscoctus, which means "twice-cooked" or "baked". In Italy, biscotti can refer to any cookie or biscuit that has been baked twice.

Cinnamon Pecan Biscotti
Prep 10 min | Cook 45 min | Ready in 55 min

Enjoy these crispy, crunchy cookies with your next cup of coffee or espresso. They’re packed with sweet, aromatic, and nutty flavor.

Ingredients
2 cups (500 mL) flour
1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon
6 tbsp (90 mL) butter, softened
¾ cup (175 mL) sugar, plus 2 tsp (10 mL) for topping, divided
2 eggs
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
½ cup (125 mL) pecans, chopped and toasted
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Beat the butter and ¾ cup (175 mL) of the sugar with a mixer until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Stir in the pecans.
Divide the dough in half. With each half, form a 7" x 2" x 1" (18-cm x 5-cm x 2½-cm) log.
Place the logs on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, about 4" (10 cm) apart.
Sprinkle each log with 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar and bake for 30 minutes.
Slide the logs onto a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. Carefully place the logs on a cutting board. With a bread knife, gently cut the logs diagonally into ½" (1-cm) slices. Arrange the slices onto a cookie sheet, about 1" (2.5 cm) apart.
Bake for another 20–25 minutes, or until the biscotti are dry and crisp. Let them cool completely on a cooling rack. Store in a tightly covered container.

February 11 - National Peppermint Patty Day

Ever wonder why York Peppermint Patties feel so much more "refreshing" than the rest? It’s all in the crispness!

In a world of soft regional candies from companies like Trudeau and Pearson’s, York (started in PA in 1940) stood out by being firm. They even had a "snap test" at the factory—if it didn't break with a clean snap, it didn't go out!

Peppermint Patty Whoopie Pies

Cool, minty, and perfectly chocolatey, this dreamy dessert is like a wintery hug that’s fun to make and even more fun to share.

Ingredients
3/4 cup (175 mL) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/4 cup (60 mL) butter
1/2 cup (100 mL) sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup (175 mL) all-purpose flour
15 Crème de menthe chocolate candies
1/4 cup (60 mL) white or semi-sweet chocolate morsels
10-12 mini foil-wrapped peppermint patty candies, such as See's Dark Peppermints
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the

Combine the chocolate morsels and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 40–60 seconds, or until smooth, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chocolate to the bowl of the Deluxe Stand Mixer and add the sugar and egg. MIX for 45 seconds, or until well blended. Add the flour and MIX for 45 seconds, or just until the flour is incorporated.
Using a 1-tbsp (15- mL) measuring spoon, drop 24 level scoops of batter, 1" (2.5 cm) apart, onto the lined pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just set.

Meanwhile, place the white or semi-sweet chocolate morsels into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 30–60 seconds, or until melted and smooth, stirring once. Set aside.
Remove the sheet pan from oven. While still hot, carefully turn over half of the cookies using a small spatula. Top with a peppermint candy, then place another cookie on top. Let the candy melt slightly and become soft, about 5 minutes, then carefully press down on the tops of the cookie sandwiches to push the melted candy to the edges. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.

February 10 - National Cream Cheese Brownie Day

The brownie has been around since the 1800s but was first documented in 1906 in the cookbook The Boston Cooking School Cook Book. There are hundreds of cream cheese brownie recipes. However, we also enjoy them cut up into parfaits or mixed into ice cream. Add a dollop of whipped cream, berries or a sprinkle of nuts and fruit and they become a decadent dessert in their own right.
Adding cream to the batter once it's poured into the pan and swirling it around with a knife gives the finished product an elegant look. It even suggests a celebration when you look at it! No matter how you enjoy cream cheese brownies, we are sure that you will find one that you like.

4 oz (125 g) cream cheese
2 tbsp (30 mL) sugar
2 tbsp (30 mL) Irish cream liqueur

Place butter, chocolate morsels and chopped chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1-3 minutes or until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Cool slightly.
Combine flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Whisk together eggs and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Place vanilla and espresso granules in a small bowl; stir until espresso is dissolved. Whisk into egg mixture. Slowly add chocolate mixture to egg mixture, whisking constantly until blended. Fold flour mixture into chocolate mixture just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
Place cream cheese in a medium microwave safe bowl; microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until soft. Whisk in sugar, liqueur and egg yolk; whisk until smooth. Using a Small Scoop, drop scoops of cream cheese mixture over brownie batter in four rows of six scoops each. Gently swirl brownie batter and filling, creating a marbled effect.

February 9 - National Pizza Day

The origins of National Pizza Day can be traced back to 1984 when a group of college students in the US decided to create a day dedicated to their love of pizza. They chose February 9th as the date because it was already known as February 9 - International Pizza Pie Day (it also happens to be just one week before Valentine's Day).

Detroit-Style Pizza
Prep 10 min | Ready in 25 min

Detroit-style pizza is one of a kind, with its thick focaccia-like crust, caramelized cheese, and dollops of tomato sauce.

Ingredients
6 oz. (175 g) Muenster cheese, grated (2 cups/500 mL grated)
4 oz. (125 g) low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 cup/250 mL)
½ tbsp (7 mL) vegetable oil
Flour for sprinkling
1 lb. (454 g) frozen pizza dough, thawed
¼ tsp (1 mL) Italian Seasoning Mix
24 pepperoni slices
⅓ cup (75 mL) pizza sauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).

Brush the 12" (30-cm) Cast Iron Skillet with oil. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough to a 10" (25-cm) square.

Transfer the dough to the skillet and press to fill the pan. Thoroughly pierce the dough with a fork. Top the dough with ⅛ tsp (0.5 mL) of the seasoning and place the pan on the stovetop. Cook over high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the dough slightly puffs.

Remove the pan from the heat and top with 12 pepperoni slices, then both cheeses, making sure to cover the entire pizza, including the edges, with the cheese. Top with the remaining seasoning. Use a spoon to dollop the pizza sauce onto the dough. Add the remaining pepperoni slices and bake for 15 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven.
