Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe. Often it's the most classic of recipes that take the longest to develop.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe

Case in point: the chocolate chip cookie cake. A few months back, my co-worker requested it for his birthday, and I quickly rose to the challenge. The first batch was chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, but my pie tin wasn't the right vessel, and the cookie cake sunk in the center. For the second batch, I used a pizza pie pan, which I quickly discovered was not the appropriate baking vehicle, as the cookie dough oozed out the sides at an alarming rate, sizzling on the oven floors and smoking up my kitchen. But I held firm to the belief that the third go would be the charm. So, for many reasons, this recipe was a long time in the making, but I think the end result is well worth the laborious process.

Notes Use a cyclical Wilton Giant Cookie Pan ($8) or a rectangular 9" x 13" pan for this recipe. Ingredients Directions Preheat oven to 375ºF. Information Category.

Monday night, my dad made the trip to Detroit. He’s retired and has extra time. I love it because he can come visit us whenever he wants! He’s helping Jeremy out at the hospital for the week. While he was traveling up, he ran into the snow storm. Basic French Macaron Recipe. Perhaps it's the rainbow of cheerful hues, the adorable two-bite size, or — most likely — the perfect crisp-chewy texture, but I just can't get enough of French macarons.

Even when I'm stuffed to the gills, I can always make room for these tiny, delicate pastries. True, macarons can be temperamental (meringue is the capricious culprit), but they do respond wonderfully to patience, encouragement, and a loving touch. So before you dismiss the idea of making these little lovelies at home, we've found a basic recipe that breaks down the uncooperative veneer of the elusive macaron. Although part of the same happy pastry family, the French macaron should not be confused with the coconut macaroon. They are similar in concept, but differ greatly in execution: while both entail adding dry ingredients to a delicate egg white meringue, the one "o" macaron uses finely ground almonds as its base and requires much more gentle handling.

The Best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

That’s a big statement because I haven’t cheated on this recipe in two and a half years. I use it for Twix Bar Cookies, Snickers Cookies, M&Ms Cookies, Smores Cookies, and many others when I want a hearty, but buttery dough base. Any cookie I’m going to stuff with add-ins or candy, and that’s not a peanut butter cookie, I use that base.

Easily ground into a flour using a food processor, dry quinoa adds a wonderful nutty flavor. Warm, spicy, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, these are my new favorite treat — perfect with a cup of hot cider or ginger tea.

Ingredients 3/4 cup dry quinoa 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup Earth Balance 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/3 cup molasses Directions Preheat the oven to 350° F.
