Victory Monday cookies for week 13

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I stood for the entire second half of the Bills game, something I had not done in a long, long time.  It alleviated some of the Fandom stress for me, and we were playing well while I stood, so I did not sit down until the game ended.   We got a much needed win, so i asked Rob what the victory treats should be and he said triple chip cookies.  They are a chocolate chip cookie dough with an instant vanilla pudding mix added and uses milk chocolate, white chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips.  I was in a bit of a rush and didn’t have time to chill the dough, but they stayed niced and puffy anyways.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  And preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking. 

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed into small squares
  • 1/2 cup butter crisco (regular crisco also works)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1 box vanilla instant pudding mix, 3.4 oz
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter, butter crisco and brown sugar.  Add pudding mix.  Mix in eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Fold in flour.  Blend in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cup dough.  Stagger on cookie sheet.  Bake 10 to 11 minutes, no longer.  Remove from oven.  Tops may look gushy, but cookies will firm up as they cool.  Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

Snowball triple chip cookies

I wanted to do a different kind of chocolate chip cookie.  These use granulated sugar and  powdered sugar instead of brown sugar.  I used 3 kinds of chips – semisweet, white and milk chocolate.

Remember to scoop your flour and powdered sugar from their containers into your measuring cups so you get the right amount.  Also I recommend chilling the individual doughs for several hours before baking.   And preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, oil, sugar and powdered sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Fold in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill doughs several hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Stagger cookies on sheet, like below.

Gently press extra chips on top.

Bake 8 to 11 minutes.  Bottoms will be golden brown.  Tops will be a little gushy,  but will firm up as they cool. 

Sprinkle with powdered sugar. 

Cool completely.   Store in covered container.

Fudge brownies cookies with 3 kinds of chips (and special colored M&MS)

Uncategorized Leave a comment

These are a chocolate brownie cookies.  Some have peanut butter chips, some have milk chocolate and others have semisweet.  To differentiate between the milk and semisweet, I placed one red M&M and one blue M&M on the semisweet ones.   You guys guess why I chose red and blue.  🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also, after your scoop out your dough, gently press the chips around the cookie instead of mixing them in with the batter.  Chill the individual doughs for a few hours to prevent spreading.  And, preheat your oven before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

  • Ingredients list
  • 2/3 cup butter crisco
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Chips!

Football friday #7 (and happy birthday Eric)

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Today’s Friday football treats is a request from my coworker, Eric, who’s celebrating a birthday today.   They are a version of Little Debbie brownies, which I  loved as a child.  These even have rainbow chips on top (shout out to Price Rite for having them)

I made these amid a crazy game three of the ALCS between the Yankees and Guardians.  What a nutty last few innings – the Judge and Stanton home runs.  The Noel and Fry home runs.  Rob and I are Yankees fans (but he is more invested than me).  He was quite mad afterwards and broke into hot brownies (which I warned him against).  He mangled them, as you can see below.

Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from your containers into measuring cups so you get the right amount.  Also, preheat your oven for 20 minutes so it cycles to the right temp.  If you don’t have milk chocolate chips, you can use all semisweet for the ganache.

  • Brownies ingredients list
  • 2 1/2 sticks of butter, melted
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed into measuring cup
  • 1 3/4 cups unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 yolks
  • 2 tbs corn syrup
  • 1 1/3 cups flour
  • 2 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degre3s.  Line a 9×13 cake pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray.  In a bowl, mix butter, sugar, brown sugar, and baking cocoa.  Add eggs, one at a time,  yolks, corn syrup and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Mixture will be very thick.  Evenly spread into pan.  Bake 30 to 40 minutes (until toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs).  Cool completely.

  • Ganache ingredients
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions – in one microwave safe bowl, heat chips for 1 minutes.  In another microwave safe bowl, heat cream for one minute.  Combine cream and chips.  Stir smooth.  Let sit 5 minutes.  Spread on cooled brownies and sprinkle with rainbow chips or m&ms

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie day 2024!

Uncategorized 3 Comments

I thought we already had national chocolate chip cookie day this year, but I saw yesterday that it is August 4th, which is today.    I already had funfetti cookies stuffed with golden oreos, but still whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, also including white and milk chocolate chips.  These are made with browned butter and bread flour.  I used a bread flour recipe bc it is terribly humid, again, and I was hoping to keep the cookies from spreading.  I also froze the dough mounds for that same reason. The first batch did not spread at all.  They are large blobs and a little doughy, so I popped them in the fridge. 

These might be a little too puffy!

I have a few different cookie pans, so it might have been that.  😀

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I recommend chilling the individual  dough cookies for a few hours.  Also preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, browned and cooled 10 min
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbs heavy cream or milk
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – pour browned butter in a mixing bowl.  Mix in brown sugar and sugar.  Blend in egg, yolk, vanilla and cream/milk.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Mix in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners.  Stagger cookies on sheet.   Bake 10 to 12 minutes.   Tops will likely be gushy.  Place them in fridge to firm them up.

Bounceback Triple Chip Cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

The triple chip cookie I made yesterday were a complete disaster.  So flat I found them unacceptable.  So I mashed them up, added a few tbs of melted butter and pressed them in a bottom of a pan, added a double recipe of brownies and will bring them to work tomorrow.

Anyway, I needed to bounce back with the triple chips.  These came out perfect.  A couple of things- you need all-purpose flour and bread flour.  You need to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.   The dough needs to be frozen for 90 minutes and then bake it frozen. 

  • Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and shredded with a cheese grater or cubed into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tbs flour
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tbs bread flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or semisweet)
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl cream cold, cubed butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add egg, yolk and vanilla.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Blend in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Freeze 90 minutes.  Cookie dough is baked directly from freezer.   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on prepared sheet.  Bake 13 minutes.  Tops will be a little doughy.  Cool completley.   Put in fridge for an hour to firm up.  Theb, remove from fridge and store in covered container.

XL triple chip cookies topped with melted chocolate chips

Uncategorized Leave a comment

A request from my hubby for triple chip cookies. They are cooked at a higher temperature (390 degrees), so I made them quite large so they did not burn. I am taking them to work, so after they were completley cooled, I cut them in half and topped them with melted chocolate. If I did not cut them in half, people at work would have. 😉

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount (do not pour it in. Pouring it packs it in and you wind up with dry cookies. Blech!). Also chill the individual mounds. And preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking.

  • Ingredients
  • 8 tbs butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
    • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 to 3 tbs water (opt)
    • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
    • 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
    • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions – cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. If dough seems dry, add water, 1 tbs at a time to make it easier to work with. Blend in chips. Divide dough into 8 even pieces. I formed mine into very tall mounds. You can flatten your if you prefer. Bake 11 to 14 minutes (no longer). They will be golden on the edges and a little gushy on top. They will firm up as they cool. Once completely cooled, top with melted chocolate if you want.

Store in covered container.
