In the spirit of V Day, I want you to do something for me. Do something today to show yourself that you love you. Maybe it's watching your favorite movie. Maybe it's spending the day with your favorite person. Maybe it's making a donation to an organization that means a lot to you. Maybe it's wearing your favorite outfit or getting that ear piercing you've really been wanting. Maybe it's doing yoga and drinking more water. Maybe it's making a cup of cookie butter hot cocoa for you and your Galentine.
Yesterday I made this hot cocoa for my Galentine Jill. This recipe came from an intense need for cookie butter and a severe lack of pretzels. While gingerbready cookie butter goes great with spoons, that seemed like a lazy Galentine's treat. The gingerbread flavor is subtle but adds creaminess and a bit of spice. Try it; it's nice.
Cookie Butter Hot Cocoa
makes two
2 1/2 cups milk (any kind)
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons Speculoos cookie butter
2 tablespoons agave nectar or white sugar
whipped cream or marshmallows
Put the first four ingredients in a saucepan and heat on low, whisk til the cookie butter and cocoa powder are incorporated. Pour into two cute matchy mugs and swirl in ice cream-like Cool Whip or float tiny marshmallow dots.
Remember how wonderful and lovely you are, wear cozy socks, and sip chocolate when you aren't eating it. Happy Valentine's Day!
