Salted Brownies I’ve eaten a lot of brownies in my life (is that such a bad thing?) and I can honestly say these salted caramel brownies are absolutely amazing! I adapted the recipe from the famous Baked brownie, so it’s no wonder they’re delicious! These are super rich, like can’t-drink-without-milk rich, and very moist. I like them because they have a savory chocolate taste and are not overly sweet. Salted Caramel Brownies adapted from Baked 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 8 ounces chocolate (70-75% dark) chopped 1 cup (two sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 5 large eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste 3/4 cup caramel sauce (you can make your own or buy it already made) pinch of coarse sea salt to sprinkle on top of each brownie Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes.
Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Dear ErinCooks: I have a chocolate chip cookie conundrum: try as I might I can’t get my cookies to the consistency I like. I am a fan of chewy chocolate chip cookies, not cakey or crunchy, just chewy. I think it must be a butter issue. Should I try margarine or shortening? Maybe it’s too much mixing? Or maybe timing? Dear Julia: This is your lucky day! Please give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (Originally published in the Got Milk? 2 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened 6 tablespoons white sugar 6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 large egg 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chunks or chips 1 cup nuts (Note: optional.

Melted Snowman I first ran across these adorable cookies on Crazy Domestic‘s blog during my weekly quest for bowling snacks. The moment I saw these Melted Snowman Cookies, I knew I had to make them! They are so darn cute!! Plus, they are simple and easy to make! Between work and the craziness of the holidays, I’m all about “easy-to-make!” Let’s gather a few things from the fridge and the pantry and get started!! You know I didn’t even notice the cookie dough packages have two different fonts on the front. You’ll need: 1 package of Betty Crocker’s Sugar Cookie Mix OR substitute your family favorite! See, simple and easy! Mix the cookie mix (does that sound weird to anyone else?) Bake the cookies according to the package directions. Spray a microwave safe plate with cooking spray and put the marshmallows on it. Some of my marshmallows fell over, but I just left them that way! Start decorating! Aren’t they cute? Ahhhh… I’m melting…. What? Hello! All together now! I love these cookies! My simple icing recipe is:
Lookie at my Cookies: Peanut Butter Cup Brownies | NOSH AND TELL April 1, 2009 • Ariel and Whitney Eat your heart out Reese’s, there’s a new peanut butter cup in town. I am convinced peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other, like Charlie and Claire on LOST–I’m only on Season 2 right now but someone please tell me they have gotten together. I find that a lot of my baked creations involve these two perfect ingredients because they are two of my favorite foods…they actually might be my MOST favorite foods. Needless to say, the combination of flavors when peanut butter and chocolate meet is heavenly. My Peanut Butter Cup Brownies were adapted from a recipe found on Bake or Break, I opted to use milk chocolate chips instead of the peanut butter chips for a little different flavor. Peanut Butter Cup Brownies Makes 1 dozen brownies 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 tablespoon water 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, plus about 1/3 cup more for garnishing 1 large egg* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup all purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Chocolate Mint Cookie Bars Recipe for chocolate mint cookies; These chocolate cookie bars use chocolate mint candies to give them a great flavor! You guys? I have a little weakness for this one. You know I’m a confessed chocoholic, right? And what is the best thing to pair with chocolate? Glorious, delicious, refreshing mint. In my “other” life, I am a piano teacher. That, and the blue Jolly Ranchers. It was nothing short of a miracle that I found a handful of mint patties left to bake with. Sorry, piano students. I decided to throw together some last minute cookie bars, and I seriously considered a repeat of these fun Coconut Chocolate Chip Bars. But my chocolate cravings got the best of me, and with the presence of cocoa powder, mint chocolate chips, AND mint patties in my pantry, the decision became a verrry easy one. A little too easy, maybe. With a bar like this, you really need to let it cool all the way before cutting into it. Or devouring like vultures. Or squawking like vultures.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Based on a from long, long ago, I’ve been toodling around for quite some time with the concept to get, what is to me, the perfect peanut butter cookie. And I finally think I’ve got it! While I generally like to steal a cookie (or five) warm from the baking sheets, these cookies benefit greatly from cooling to room temperature (and are fantastic out of the freezer especially if you have the patience to let them sit on the counter for about 3 1/2 minutes – pure bliss). After baking and cooling, the texture becomes cakey and soft and they nearly melt in your mouth with their peanut buttery sweetness. I am surprised by how much I love these babies, since I am such a huge fan of my other favorites. Peace out.
