MANGO GINGERBREAD WITH MACADAMIA STREUSEL

Steps:

• For streusel:
• Stir all ingredients in small bowl to blend.
• For gingerbread:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Coarsely puree mangoes in food processor. Transfer 1 cup mango puree to large bowl (reserve any remaining puree for another use). Add buttermilk, oil, and eggs to puree; whisk until blended. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined. Transfer half of batter (about 2 cups) to prepared pan. Sprinkle half of streusel over. Spoon remaining batter over, smooth evenly with spatula, then sprinkle with remaining streusel.
• Bake bread until springy to touch and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.) Cut bread into 9 squares and serve.
• Baker's wisdom:
• Buttermilk and baking soda help give the gingerbread a tender texture.

MACADAMIA TOFFEE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Line baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper, and set aside (it's even better if you have two sets of baking sheets and Silpats).
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugars and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Scrape down sides of the bowl and add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat to combine.
• In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking soda, and salt until combined.
• Add dry mixture to the wet mixture in electric mixer bowl, then add in the toffee chips and macadamia nuts.
• Scoop dough out onto prepared baking sheets using a 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop, placing them about 2 inches apart.
• Flatten cookies slightly with the palm of your hand.
• Bake at 350 degrees F until golden and just set, about 15 minutes. If you have two sets of baking sheets and Silpats, as recommended, rotate the sheets between the oven racks halfway through to ensure even browning.
• Transfer the sheets to a wire rack to cool, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer cookies from sheet to rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Note: this is an adopted recipe, and I have not had the chance to make them, yet.
