Week one victory monday cookies (for a tuesday)

Uncategorized Leave a comment

So i asked Rob to choose the victory Monday treats, which i made today and will be brought into work tomorrow because I am off today.  He chose blondies with 3 kinds of chips – white, milk and semisweet.

It was a good win by the Bills, but a heart stopper, for sure.  I was at work and needed to not look at the game constantly in the final 2 minutes because of the stress, and, oh yeah, I needed to focus on my job.  I look up at one point, Houston is marching toward the end zone and there are 36 seconds left.  I look away and assume the game is done and there are… 30 seconds left.  Whenever one of my team is leading, the clock just stops, or seems to go backwards.  Yeesh.  Anyways.  1-0 is 1-0. 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Firmly pack your brown sugar into your measuring cup.   And preheat your oven before baking.   I think i may have taken these out a little too soon, but didn’t want them to wind up dry by overbaking by a minute or two, so i popped em in the fridge to firm up.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, melted and cooled 5 to 10 minutes (so your chips don’t melt)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Line and 8×8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.  In a bowl, combine melted butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs, yolk and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Mix in chips.  Evenly press into prepared pan.   Bake 30 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.  If bars seems gushy, pop them in fridge for a few hours to firm up.  Store in covered container.

Go Bills.

Monday night football for week 2 – fudge and oreo topped red velvet bars

Go Bills!

I wanted something simple yet “wow” treat for the Bills-Titans game on Monday night football. I was going to make chocolate chip cookies stuffed with oreos. Gracie, who is on a diet, decided to sneakily eat the half stick of butter on the countertop (at least she left the other stick). So I changed plans and made red velvet bars topped with fudge and oreos. Very worthy of this MNF matchup if I can say so myself. Also, a lab mix pup on a diet may be a lost cause.

  • Bars ingredients
  • 1 red velvet cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 stick butter, melted
You can use any flavor cake mix and crushed cookies or candy on top

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray with Pam. In a bowl, mix together cake mix, eggs and butter. Moisten hands with water (trust me on this) and press into prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes, no longer. Cool completley.

  • Fudge topping ingredients
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Crushed oreos

Directions – in a pan, over medium heat, combine butter, sugar and heavy cream, stirring frequently. Once butter is melted and you see a few bubbles on the side, remove from heat. Stir in chips until melted. Pour over bars. Top with crushed oreos. Cut and store in covered container.
