Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Oh. My. God. If you could take perfection, roll it in a ball, and dip it chocolate, this would be it. I’m not joking here folks. My apologies to the New Years’ resolution folk. The cookie dough itself is egg-free, and potentially dairy free AND vegan if you get picky about what you coat them with. Take it or leave it (but I strongly suggest you take it. Update: Since it was first posted in 2010, I’ve updated this recipe and included it in my new cookbook, The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook (Quirk Books, 2012). You may also like... My FAVORITE Chocolate Chip Cookie I have experimented with countless recipes searching for that perfect chocolate chip cookie. The characteristics of the perfect cookie are a very personal matter, and here are my preferences: texture: chewy w. medium thickness --- everyone has their preference, and this is mine! chocolate to cookie ratio: 50/50 --- I really enjoy having a lot of chocolate in every bite chips vs. chunks: chunks --- I like sizeable pieces of chocolate in my cookie. type of chocolate: bittersweet --- I like using Valrhona 61% extra bitter nuts or other add-ins: NONE!! With the above criteria in mind, this recipe is the closest I've come to experiencing CCC perfection. - Don't substitute the pastry and bread flours w. - Hand chopped chocolate chunks, NOT premade chips - I will purchase a hunk of the best bittersweet chocolate that I can afford and hand cut them into chunks. - Chill the cookie dough at least 24 hours (I let my dough sit anywhere from 2-3 days) before baking.
The Baked Brownie The famed Baked brownie. Oprah says it’s one of her favorite things. America’s Test Kitchens says its their favorite brownie. I don’t put much stock in Oprah, but America’s Test Kitchens are pretty much like the bible when it comes to all things kitchen. has been on my Amazon wish list for what seems like an eternity. There is a great explanation in the book about how the Baked brownie recipe came to be, which is a great read. They have a good bit of height given that they don’t have any leavening agents, so they aren’t thin, gooey and smooshed like some brownies (this is a good thing). Three years ago: Outrageous Brownies
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies Brownies are sort of like cheesecake, aren’t they? There’s nothing better than the perfect dense, fudgy brownie, just like not much can beat a classic piece of creamy cheesecake. Yet with both of these desserts we’re always fiddling around with different versions, swirling things in and layering things on the top and the bottom (incidentally, peanut butter goes well with both!). It’s an endless merry go round of dessert experimentation, where there really can never be a bad result. Feel free to check out all of my brownie recipes and cheesecake recipes to see how many times I have spun around this little kitchen carousel. But like a little kid at the amusement park, you never want the ride to stop, so we keep going… which is where these amazing brownies come in. When I first saw these over on RecipeGirl I stopped in my tracks. You know how milk and cookies go well together? Back to the merry-go-round to do more kitchen experiments!
Homemade Oreos I almost never repeat recipes. I have soooo many recipes bookmarked and dog eared that it just doesn't make sense to bake the same thing twice. This recipe is the exception. These cookies are the most demanded item that I bake. As a matter of fact you probably won't even believe me if I tell you who requested these cookies. The nutritionist at my husband's gym. I first saw these cookies on Smitten Kitchen (one of my absolute favorite blogs, ever!) The filling is a dead ringer for the oreo filling. These will definitely impress anyone you make them for.
Coraline Cookies These bite-size peanut butter buttons are super easy to make and fun to eat. Keep your eyes on them, though. They’ll disappear quickly. You’ll need one peanut butter cookie mix and the ingredients to make… egg, water, oil. Yep. Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Then, as soon as you remove them, use the same bottle cap to press the cookies down forming a raised outer edge. And then, this is the fun part. To make sure you have enough time to press the centers and poke the holes before the cookies cool, bake them in three batches of fifteen cookies. There you have it. But, what if we covered them in chocolate. Dark chocolate. Yes, I think so. Grab a button and dip the top in some of the melted candy. And you’ll end up with a bunch of cute chocolate-covered peanut butter buttons. Enjoy! Movie Award Season Recipes sponsored by Hyundai.
S’more Cookie Bars These were a huge hit! Keith, Andrew, and Kramer all ate at least two of these the other night. I brought some into work, too, and they quickly disappeared. They seriously tasted just like a s’more, and they should, considering that all of the same ingredients are used, just kicked up a notch! The crust is a graham cracker cookie, topped with marshmallow, a layer of chocolate, and a graham cracker crust to top it all off. What you’ll need. Pulse about 8 graham crackers in a blender or food processor to get your graham cracker crumbs. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. Cream together the butter and sugars, until light and fluffy (at least 3-5 minutes), then beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Press half of the dough down into the greased and/or lined 8×8 pan (I doubled it and did a 9×13). Lay the chocolate bars over the dough. Then spread the Fluff over the chocolate. Enjoy!

Buckeye Brownies Guys, I love buckeyes. There are very few things that can surpass their fabulousness. If you disagree, you should turn back now. Oh good. When I was taking photos of these, Boots insisted upon being my assistant. Even if the props include himself... At all kinds of beautiful and flattering angles... He is also a top notch photographer himself, as you may recall. Of course, you probably think I'm the only one benefiting from this arrangement. On one such occasion I declared to my young apprentice, "Boots, if you aren't good, Dad is going to have to help you instead, and that will NOT be fun." At that very moment, Dad, who had been using the computer in the same room, suddenly walked up and left, not hearing my ferocious threat. Boots looked up from his scribbled up math worksheet, "Guess he went to get his mad eyebrows on." Hardy har. But anywho, about the brownies.

Double Chocolate Brownies Couple of days ago, I made the best brownies.Yes, you read that right, best. Best by all means, the ones I made before and the ones I have tasted and trust me,I have done this alot.Needless to say, these brownies didnt last long to see the daylight. [I made half proportion so stop rolling eyes ;)].I just saved one for my daughter and for photo shoot. For me baking is perfection.Perfect in taste and looks. Both are extremely important but the first one is a little more important. If it tastes good, no matter how good it looks, it will be slurped up. Ok, so coming back to the brownies, my hubs had this strange craving late night, "isn't there any cake, can you make something?" But this was perfect for me, moist, not too fudgy, not too sweet, not too cakey, just the right amount of everything. Double Chocolate Brownies Ingredients Unsalted butter 6 tbsp Semisweet chocolate 6 oz, coarsely chopped [I used dark chocolate 41% cocoa] Cocoa powder 1/4 cup [hence the double chocolate] Flour 3/4 cup 1.
Peanut Butter Cup Brownies | SugarHero! Can we talk? Specifically, can we talk about “brownie” recipes that call for things like black beans and applesauce and sugar substitutes, instead of gobs of chocolate and eggs and wonderful, wonderful, butter? Specifically-er, can we talk about how those things may be made by health-conscious, well-intentioned people, and some folks might enjoy them, and they may even get high praise like “I didn’t want to throw up after eating it,” but they will never, nay never, taste like an actual brownie? Do what you want! Now that we’ve established what a brownie is not, let’s talk about what these brownies are. My favorite peanut butter cup to cook with comes from Trader Joe’s, because (I think) they’re slightly taller than Reese’s and have a bigger proportion of filling, so you get these big, gorgeous pockets of melted peanut butter throughout the brownies.
