The BROOKIE COOKIE Biscotti





Biscotti for breakfast, lunch and dinner! What is the addiction? This crispy crunchy snack packs a punch of flavor. The BROOKIE COOKIE biscotti is the best square of chocolate  heaven out there! TRY IT HERE.
According to Wikipedia, "Biscotti" is the only traditional name, which in the Italian language the plural form of biscotto. The word originates from the Medival Latin word biscoctus, meaning "twice-cooked/baked." It defined oven baked goods that were baked twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time. Such nonperishable food was particularly useful during journeys and wars, and twice baked breads were a staple food of the Roman Legions.

The BROOKIE COOKIE Biscotti is of course "all-natural" and has almonds and pecans in the center with melted semi sweet chocolate. Have it plain, with nuts, or lightly dusted with powdered sugar and a stream of chocolate sauce. These perfectly crisp and crunchy snacks tickle the taste buds and fill you right up! These are our newest Holiday treats on the menu for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

There are legions of fans who support The BROOKIE COOKIE  and who love our treats, but this new one certainly "takes the cookie" so to speak. One fan in particular, Betsy Krumbholz, had this to say...
"Brookie Cookie Biscotti! I am in love! I moved to Charlotte NC in 1997 & have missed good Biscotti
WOW! They arrived in perfect condition…Lightly crunchy on the outside, chewy on the the inside…heaven!!! This is a hidden secret that the Italians enjoy — but everyone needs to try. I so enjoyed them! Thanks again Brookie Cookie!"

That quote says it all, I'm writing this article, and can't wait to go have another...where are my stretch pants??? LOL!

"Like I tell everyone, The Brookie Cookie is an amazing cookie that is different from any other cookie you've ever eaten....and I've eaten a LOT of cookies. =) So, about me: I'm a 28 year old stay at home Mama to my almost 5 year old daughter, Brenna. "The boyfriend", as I call him, and I have been dating for 8 years, I take care of my Mom who has health problems and I have 1 Sister, an amazing Bro-in-law and the best niece and nephew in the world. I love to read, drink coffee, eat cookies, cook and bake, get tattooed and laugh. I adore slapstick comedies, cats and history. I'm a couponer with an unhealthy love of the band KISS and I'm a Jesus Freak." =)

"I ordered a few of each kind of BrookieCookie and my entire household LOVED them! They’re like a brownie and a cookie and just plain awesome! My 4 year old daughter loved the creme filled babies, my Mom loved the BrookieCookie’s with nuts, I loved the ones with pretzels (to die for!) and my boyfriend loved them all, haha. Keep up the good work!! =)"

Chocolate & Red Wine = Heavenly & Healthy …Who knew?

                                           

     Indulgence never tasted and sounded so good! Take a look at the reasons why Chocolate and Red wine are actually pretty good for you! Not only will you be doing your heart a favor by nibbling on a square of dark rich heaven, but it also helps to increase levels of “good cholesterol”, enhances brain function by improving blood flow to the brain and researchers have shown that eating dark chocolate can fight skin cancer. You might think chocolate is sinful, but it's a lot better for you than you think. In fact, it has been used for hundreds of years by medical professionals to cure ailments such as tuberculosis, gout, fatigue, diarrhea, weak digestion, hemorrhoids, low virility, and shortness of breath. Scientists believe polyphenols - plant chemicals abundant in dark chocolate and wines - widen blood vessels and speed the supply of blood to the brain. Chocolate also appears to be extremely beneficial to our skin with recent studies showing that dining on chocolate can improve skin quality and reduce wrinkles and even increase the skins natural SPF quality making it less vulnerable to sunburn. And speaking of skin, what's the supposed old wives tale that chocolate causes acne? Chocolate neither causes nor aggravates acne, according to acne resource center (acne-resource.org).

               10 REALLY GOOD REASONS... Why You Should Eat Chocolate!

1)    Chocolate lowers your blood pressure- The darker the chocolate, the more flavanoids,  those lovely substances in cocoa that increase the nitric oxide in your blood. Just one small square of chocolate a day can lower your risk of heart attack by 39 percent. Flavonoids in cocoa (procyanids) help balance blood pressure and reduce blood clotting. Researchers from Germany's University Hospital of Cologne, found that cocoa consumption lowered blood pressure by an average of 4.7/2.8 mm Hg. The New York Times reported that dark chocolate is almost as effective at lowering blood pressure as common antihypertensive drugs.
2)    Chocolate reduces your risk of stroke as well-Due to its cocoa content, which increases the blood flow around the brain. It also improves blood sugar levels and lowers risk of diabetes. Lisa C. Cohn, R.D., President of the Park Avenue Nutrition Spa in NYC, wrote that flavonoids in pure dark chocolate are responsible for these added benefits. Cohn said, "if you're going to indulge on Feb. 14 or any other day, go for the purest dark chocolate you can find". That's the kind loaded with flavonoids, which also protect against cancer.
3)    Chocolate is full of antioxidants-Namely flavanols and procyanidin, and boosts mood. MSNBC reported that caffeine and other chemicals in dark chocolate can improve your mood and ease premenstrual symptoms. Mark's Daily Apple wrote that the chemical phenylethylamine in chocolate has been found to trigger feelings similar to "falling in love." Chocolate helps you get over your break-up! The phenylethylamine (PEA) found in chocolate is an amphetamine-like substance that simulates the feeling of falling in love. So coupled up with a glass of wine can be divine!
4) Raises HDL cholesterol and lowers LDL cholesterol - a Penn State study found that diets high in cocoa powder and dark chocolate (with high flavonoid content) are related to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels when compared with diets low in flavonoids such as tea, wine, coffee, and onions. Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of "good" cholesterol and protecting against artery damage.
5)    Chocolate makes you sexier (Hint:ORGASM)- The Mayans were the first to consider cocoa an aphrodisiac—and with good reason. Cocoa boosts serotonin levels in the brain plus PEA in cocoa sends dopamine into our so-called pleasure centers of the brain. That’s pleasure center as in orgasm.
6)    Chocolate can help you jumpstart your day- The xanthine in chocolate works like caffeine. This is apparently why chocolate goes so well with coffee. It also helps ease chronic fatigue syndrome - a study found that adults with chronic fatigue syndrome who eat 1.5 ounces of 85% cocoa dark chocolate were less fatigued after they eat chocolate.
7) Chocolate helps prevent cavities—Thanks to theobromine, a substance as effective as fluoride, in some chocolates.
8) Eases a persistent cough - a UK study found that theobromine, a component in cocoa, may be more effective as a cough medicine than standard drug treatments. The research showed that "theobromine acts on the sensory nerve endings of the vagus nerve, which runs through the airways in the lungs to the brain."
9) Makes you smarter by improving blood flow to brain - a University of Nottingham professor found that drinking cocoa drinks rich in flavanols improves blood flow to key areas of the brain for two to three hours. Flavanols in the cocoa drink are a key ingredient of dark chocolate. Professor Macdonald's study also suggested that cocoa flavanols in chocolate may enhance brain function to help fight sleep deprivation, fatigue, and the effects of aging.
10)  Chocolate just tastes good- Whoever said, “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels”, wasn’t talking about chocolate!

Ever Wonder...Where Did "Cookies" Come From?

     October is National Cookie Month! Have you ever wondered where did cookies come from? The origination of the cookie is just as sweet as they taste! In the USA and Canada a cookie is a small, flat, baked treat, usually containing oil, flour, eggs and sugar. In most English-speaking countries outside North America, the most common word for this cookie is biscuit; in many regions both terms are used, while in others the two words have different meanings.Cookies are most commonly baked until crisp. They also can be cooked to remain soft, but some kinds of cookies are not baked at all. Cookies are made in a wide variety of styles, using lots of different ingredients including sugars, spices, chocolate, butter, peanut butter, nuts or dried fruits.
     Cookies originated from 7th century Persia, shortly after the use of sugar became relatively common in the region. They spread to Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain. By the 14th century, they were common in all levels of society, throughout Europe, from royal cuisine to street vendors.Travel became so far spread at the time, that cookies made a natural travel companion, a modernized equivalent of the travel cakes used throughout history. One of the most popular early cookies, which traveled especially well and became known on every continent by similar names, was the jumble, a relatively hard cookie made largely from nuts, sweetener, and water.
     Cookies came to America in the early English settlement (the 17th century), although the name "koekje" arrived with the Dutch. This became Anglicized to "cookie" or cooky. Among the popular early American cookies were the macaroon, gingerbread, and of course many other varieties! The most common modern cookie, given its style by the creaming of butter and sugar, was not common until the 18th century. What is your favorite cookie? Oreo... Girl Scout... Chocolate chip...They are all so yummy, how can we ever decide on just one?
