Marble cookies for week 18 football friday

Marbled cookies

Today felt like a day for celebration. There was a miraculous update on Bills Safety Damar Hamlin. He collapsed during the Monday Night football game and was rushed to University of Cincinnati medical center. Each day there were updates of reported progress. Then today, the update was on “remarkable” progress, although he still has other progress to be made. One of the things that made me smile – Damar communicated to doctors asking, in writing, “did we win the game?” All the prayers made a big difference. God is good. Thanks to so many people who’s quick actions saved his life. And the outpouring of love for this young man has been overwhelming. All the donations and prayers made in his name and wonderful stories about him are just beautiful. My hope is all the love, kindness, and positive vibes and prayers put out there can remain and make the world a better, friendlier,more loving place.

And with that, I decided to bake marble cookies at 9 pm. Just a cookie made with browned butter and instead of adding all chocolate chips, I melted them and swirled them in.

Notes – I used bread flour in these in hopes they would not spread out too much. I did not have time to chill the dough. Remember to spoon your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. And preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter browned, not cooled
  • 1 1/4 cups butter, browned
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbs cream
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips,melted
  • Extra chocolate chips

In a bowl, combine browned butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add egg, yolk, vanilla and cream. Blend in dry ingredients. Swirl in melted chips to marble dough. Scoop out 2 tbs dough and form mounds. Lightly press a few chocolate chips on top. Chill a few hours. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Stagger cookies on prepared sheer. Bake 10 minutes (no longer). Cool completley. Store in covered container.

Pretzel Buns (bread machine)

Pretzel buns!

These are amazing! And they are pretty easy to make. I use a bread machine – dough cycle only – for these. You could probably use a stand mixer and need it (but I am not sure how much time that would involve, plus kneading dough is not my strength). I baked them in my oven.

Remember to spoon your flour from your flower bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount.

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions – in your bread maker tin, pour in milk, water, sugar and yeast. Add flour and salt. Turn on bread machine and select dough cycle. Let it run through cycle. Spray your hands with Pam (trust me on this). Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and form into rolls. Let rise on a greased baking sheet for an hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, beat an egg and set aside. In a pot, boil 8 cups of water and two tbs baking soda. Place 2 buns doughs at a time, and boil each side for 45 seconds. Place on greased sheet. Brush with beaten egg and Sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely. Store in a freezer bag and freeze. I think the rolls would take an hour to thaw put to eat.Buns!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a day filled with love and joy and peace!
