Brown sugar cookies topped with brown butter frosting

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I wanted to mix up my cookie game, so instead of sugar cookies or non chocolate  cookie,  I made brown sugar cookies.  Brown sugar is the only sweetener I used.  And I frosted them with brown butter frosting?  Is it brown butter, or browned butter?   I have no idea.  The process to brown butter is the same either way.  You cook it in a saucepan over medium low heat for about ten minutes, until you see specs of brown in it.  Then you immediately remove it from the stove top and set aside so it does not burn.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the individual doughs before baking.

  And preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 3,/4 cup butter, melted
  • 11/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed into your measuring cup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter and brown sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies.

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

  • Brown butter frosting ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, browned
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla

In a bowl, combine brownie butter and powdered sugar.   Add vanilla, then enough cream to get the consistency you want.  Frost cookies.

Marble Chocolate Chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I could not decide whether to make chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chocolate chip cookies, so I decided to do both – and make marble chocolate chip cookies.  I know it needed to marble them more, but I believe they are just fine.

Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from you flour bag/cocoa container into your measuring cups/measuring spoons so you get the right amount. I also recommend chilling the dough so the cookies don’t spread as much.  Also preheat your oven before baking so it cycles to the right temp for baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 2/3 cups plus 2 tbs flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 tbs baking cocoa
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, divided

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in 2 2/3 cups flour and baking soda.   Divide dough evenly into 2 bowls.  In one bowl, blend in 2 tbs flour, then mix in 1/2 cup chips.  In the other bowl, blend in cocoa then mix in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

  Scoop out 2 tbs  dough from each bowl.

Combine one of each into one cookie, form a tall mound and chill a few hours. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.   Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 11 to 13 minutes until chocolate chip side has golden patches.  

Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

Carrot Cake Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Instead of making a carrot cake, I thought I would make carrot cake cookies.  With mini chocolate chips.  And cream cheese frosting.   I have to be honest, I don’t make carrot cake treats too often because grating carrots is not fun, although I do have a delicious carrot cake recipe using carrot baby food.

On the topic of carrots, you must grate them.  Don’t buy the shredded carrots from the grocery store.  They won’t work in this or most carrot treat recipes.

If you want to use chocolate chips, I find  the mini ones work best.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount (same for the powdered sugar in the frosting).  I recommend chilling the individual doughs for a new hours to keep them puffy.  And, preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list

  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 2 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 cups grated carrots

Directions – in a bowl, cream crisco sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in carrots then mini chips. Divide into 12 equal mounds of dough. Chill for a few hours.   When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 15 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 8 Oz  cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and  cream cheese.  Add vanilla.  Slowly blend in powdered sugar.  Frost cookies.   Store in covered container in fridge until ready to serve.
