Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls

Digging into a blackberry cinnamon roll

A couple weeks ago I made the blackberry cinnamon roll recipe from the cookbook Peas and Thank You by Sarah Matheny. The recipes in the cookbook are, primarily, vegan. I've made a few of the recipes (which have all been very tasty). 

Dough blob!
If you are interested in the recipe, she has it up on her web site here .
 
Let the slicing commence!
I added a half cup of chopped hazelnuts, to the filling, when I made the rolls (which I highly recommend.)
 
In the pan and ready for the oven.
Overall, the rolls were very tasty (and healthy, oddly enough!). I think next time I make them I will change the wheat flour and unbleached flour ratios. I feel like the overabundance of wheat flour made the rolls slightly too dense/not very fluffy.

Moustachioed!

One of the cool cooking-related things I received for Christmas was Munchstaches, which are mustache-shaped cookie cutters! (The box contained five different types of mustaches.)


A few weeks ago, I made rolled, chocolate cookie mustaches, spread them with a chocolate glaze, and added chocolate sprinkle (you know, to make those mustaches fuzzy!).

Cookies done and drying

Naturally, we had to wear them!
