Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie. By Lauren Zembron, on July 20th, 2012 I know, I know… it seems as though I’ve been posting sweet recipe after sweet recipe (with a little something cheesy thrown in); but you see, after what seemed like a long time during which sweets were unappealing during my first trimester, (what can I say, pregnancy does some strange things to your body!)
, they’re apparently back with a vengeance on my appetite’s menu. Sooooo if you’re a sweet freak like me, all I can say about my recent recipe post pattern is: you’re welcome. And if you’re not? I’m sorry. Now let’s get to this deep-dish cookie. Jenny from Picky Palate recently posted a recipe for a microwavable chocolate chip cookie made in a ramekin that looked so unbelievably delicious I had to make my own (slightly healthier) version. I cut out half of the sugar, subbed in whole wheat pastry flour, and used grain-sweetened chocolate chips (which have less sugar than semi-sweet chips). Chocolate Chip Cookie A la Mode. I had so much fun developing this recipe. Talk about kinda dangerous though. This baby is baked in 60 seconds, no lie!! The cookie dough recipe is prepared right in your ramekin, so we are also talking about minimal dishes. Win win, right? You know those fabulous pizzookie’s you order at certain restaurants?
In any case, Enjoy my friends!! Start by creaming your butter and sugars right in your ramekin. Just like so, light and fluffy. Apple Slab. Apple Slab.
Fairly rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? I doubt anything I’ve ever baked has a less compelling name. But truth be told, it wasn’t the name that attracted me. It was an email from a reader wanting to re-create something his grandmother had made decades ago. Crack-Brownies. The Brownie. Let me start off by saying that viewer discretion is advised for today’s post.
OK now with the story that preludes possibly the greatest brownie I have ever sunk my teeth in thus far in my life. Last Saturday Mrs. Zesty had a baby shower to attend and she was designated for a dessert/sweet treat for the girls. Salted Caramel Brownies. Cookies & Cream Oreo Brownies. Hellooooo, good lookin’!
What a way to start the week! :) Last weekend as we were exploring Blue Ridge, GA, we stopped by this charming little bakery. They had all kinds of delicious looking homemade brownies. Oreo brownies, peanut butter brownies, raspberry cream cheese brownies… *groans* Kevin totally had his eye on the Oreo brownies. We didn’t get any there (we were too busy sampling the fried Oreos) so I promised to make them as soon as we got home. Slutty Brownies. Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD.
I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. Butterfinger Brownie Bites.
Cookie Brownie Bar. My younger sister is getting married in March.
I got to go wedding dress shopping with her. I think we went to about six different stores before she finally decided on one. I have to say, her dress is gorgeous. Very fashion forward, but elegant at the same time. Molten Brownie Marshmallow Bars. Tonight I decided to make a meld of two of my favorite bars: S'mores Bars & Oreo Fudge Bars.
These two bars are sooo good. And this is delicious combination of the two. These taste best if you let it set for a few hours before eating! Step 1 – Lay out 1/2 of the dough across bottom of greased 8x8 pan Step 2 – Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over bottom crust Step 3 – Spread 3/4 of brownie batter over marshmallow fluff Step 4 – Sprinkle crushed oreos and white chocolate chips over brownie batter Step 5 – Spread second 1/2 of graham cracker crust over top of cookie mix. Bake at 350º for about 30 minutes. Frosted Zucchini Brownies. Caramel-Peanut. Yes, this is one of THE Dorie Greenspan cakes.
And, believe it or not, this is not my first time making this.
