● Don't keep the dough in a warm place before putting them in the oven. When the dough is chilled it is easy to coat them with sugar and cinnamon. Also, cookies won't spread in the oven if they are chilled.
● If you want your cookie to be extra chewy, then dry the pumpkin puree with a paper towel. As moisture will be removed, the cookie will be chewy.
● Don't overmix the dough.
● If you don't get the pumpkin pie spice in your nearby store, you can mix cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg powder to make it at home.
● To get a toasty flavor in your cookie you need to brown the butter. For this, you need to melt the butter in the saucepan and whisk continuously. You will notice that the butter starts to crackle and foam. Continue to whisk. When the butter starts to turn brown and give off a nutty aroma, take the saucepan out of the flame and transfer the butter to a different bowl.
● Use egg at room temperature.
● Use fresh baking soda for the cookies to bake perfectly.
● Don't skip using cream of tartar. It helps prevent sugar from crystallizing. That is, it makes the cookies soft and chewy. Cream of tartar is acidic so this is where you get the tangy flavor from.

You can put on your favorite frosting over these cookies. You can also decorate them with colorful toppings. Pumpkin snickerdoodles are sweet and tangy giving you a different feeling. You will feel the punch and get refreshed after having a couple of them.

One-Pan Baked Penne Alla Vodka

Category : Dinner

Are you wondering how pasta and vodka go together? Here, you will learn how these two different ingredients can create magic. Pasta is a common dish in Italy, and now people all over the world are learning about it. The old saying is that it was first created by the vodka distillers in the 1960s to get more Italian vodka with cooking. It is not known whether this business trick worked for the distillers, but the general people did fall in love with this dish.

Why penne pasta?

Penne has a large diameter, which allows it to retain sauces on its whole surface. Its ridges can also easily capture the sauce. Veggies and meat mix well with it, too.

What is vodka sauce?

It is a unique sauce made with vodka, tomato sauce, cream, and cheese. This combination of tomatoes and vodka brings out the sweetness. Vodka also acts as an emulsifying agent to keep tomatoes and cream together, which would otherwise separate. The amount of vodka used in this dish is small, so it's safe for the entire family. You make and store this vodka sauce in the freezer and use it in the future for other dishes like pizza or lasagna.

● Garlic cloves – 2, minced

● In another saucepan pour water and boil. Add some salt. Put the penne pasta and cook for 6 minutes or as suggested in the packet. Set aside a cup of pasta cooking water. Alternatively, you cook the dry pasta in the oven as well by submerging it in water.
● Transfer the cooked pasta to a blender and make a smooth puree by adding the pasta cooking water that you had kept.
● Put the pasta in a bowl. Add the sauce and parmesan cheese and mix well.
● In another bowl mix heavy cream and ricotta ( a type of cheese).
● Take a baking dish (9X13 inch) and transfer half of the pasta. Add ricotta mixture on top. Then add the rest of the pasta on top of it.
● Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the pasta.
● Put the baking tray inside the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes and 425 degrees C. You will notice that the color has changed to light brown.

Tips and tricks

● Use top-quality tomatoes to prepare the sauce. If you don't want to make it at home you can buy a bottle of tomato sauce.
● Keep the pasta submerged in water when putting it in the oven to ensure it cooks evenly throughout.
● If you like cheese then you can make the pasta extra cheesy by adding more mozzarella or parmesan.
