Cream Puffs

Happy Sweet Tooth Saturday everyone! Today we were having my boyfriends parents over for dinner to celebrate his mom's birthday and we needed a birthday treat. I was at a loss for what to make. I didn't want to do the typical cake, cupcakes and cookies because I have already done that for them. So I had to ask what her all time favorite dessert was...Cream Puffs. This worked out great for me because I always like to try something new. I did not have a recipe so I searched online and All Recipes had great reviews of one.

I mixed the above ingredients and then placed it in a ziplock bag so the cream puffs would be easy to fill later.

Put the ziplock bag in the refrigerator to chill.

Bring the water, butter and salt to a boil as shown above. Then stir in the flour.

Its ok if you get it everywhere :)

Add the dough to the stand mixture and immediately add the eggs and mix on medium speed until the dough sticks to the sides. I decided to add a tsp of vanilla to the dough so it didn't have such and eggy taste.

Place the mixture by the spoonful on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 mins at 425 degrees.

When they are done take out and poke with a tooth pick.

Once cooled cut a slit in the bottom and fill with filling. Drizzle with chocolate for a finishing touch.

MMMMMMMMMMMM!
