Brown butter triple chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Triple chip cookies, starring brown butter and semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips.  I didn’t chill these as long as I usually do, so they are a little flatter than i prefer.  But rob said they are good, so that works for me!

I used a combo of bread and all purpose flour for these.  You can use entire all purpose flour, but either way,  remember to scoop it from the flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.

Chill the scooped out dough for a few hours and preheat the oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 1/4 cups butter, browned and cooled until it solidifies (might take an hour or so for that to happen)
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cups
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1  cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream solidified brown butter and brown sugar.  Add eggs, water, and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough and chill a few hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking liners.  Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, no longer. Cool completely.

Celebrating another team USA win

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I wanted to bake to celebrate the US men’s hockey team gold medal game victory, but there is also a super winter storm coming and I am staying at the Doubletree hotel near work tonight, and time is of the essence.  Rob asked for doubletree cookies.  I found the recipe put out by doubletree and tweaked it.   Another higher level treat will be made at a later date for our US hockey  men.  Hoping we don’t lose power so the treat can be made later this week!!!

The game was stressful.  So much play was in our end.  When Jack’s game winner went in, I couldn’t believe it!  And it was so wonderful to see the late Johnny Gaudreau honored and that 2 of his kids were on the ice for the team picture.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the scooped out dough a few hours.  And, preheat your oven  before baking. 

These bake at 300 degrees, per doubletree. 

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup plus 1  tbs brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup oats (either quick or rolled)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – in a food processor, place oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch.    Process 1 minute.  Set aside.  in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in oats mixture.  Fold in chips.   Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Chill an hour or 2.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 300.  Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 20 to 23 minutes.  Cool completely.  Store in covered container.

Large puffy triple chip cookies, in honor of the 2005-06 Sabres

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Tonight, the Sabres are celebrating the 2005-06 team, which was quite a team.  If not for all those injuries to defenseman, I believe we would have beaten Carolina in the East final and Edmonton in the Stanley Cup final.  I loved those 05-06 and 06-07 squads (as well as 97-98 and 98-99), so tonight’s festivities will be fun to watch.  So these cookies are celebrating them and the current Sabres team, which is playing great 🏒!

These use a combo and bread flour and all purpose flour.  I like the thicker texture bread flour gives to cookies.  But you can use all AP flour if you want.  just remember to scoop it from your flour bag to your measuring cup so you get the right amount.

And these feature 3 types of chips!

I also froze the dough for about a half hour before baking

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Extra chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs, water and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Mix in chips.  (I used my hands here near the end to get dough to come together).  Divide dough equally into 12  pieces.  Roll into balls and slightly flatten.   Chill or freeze for 30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on it.

Bake 16 to 18 minutes, no longer. Remove from oven and press extra chips on top. 

Cool completely.

Milk chocolate chip cookies (with finely ground macadamia nuts mixed in)

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Instead of traditional chocolate chip cookies with semisweet chocolate chips, I opted for milk chocolate chips and I added some finely ground macadamia nuts for a unique, salty, flavor twist.  

I melted the butter to speed up the process.  I probably won’t do so next time and will use softened butter.  These cookies spread out a little more than I prefer.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.   After scooping out the dough, chill them at least a few hours at least a few hours.  And preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed into measuring cup)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts, finely ground
Added a few mini m&ms to some. 
Go Bills!

Directions- in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Mix in dry ingredients.   If dough seems a little dry, add a tbs or two of water.   Mix in chips and ground nuts.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet, like below, because these do spread a bit.  

Bake 10 to 14 minutes, no longer.
