Chocolate frosted Chocolate Sugar cookie bars

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I wanted to make something chocolate, but instead of brownies, I opted to make  chocolate sugar cookie bars with chocolate fudge frosting.

Remember to scoop your flour, baking cocoa and powdered sugar from their containers into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also preheat the oven to 350 degrees before baking.  And don’t bake these longer than 22 minutes so they don’t dry out.

  • Bars ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs canola oil
  • 2 1/3 cups flour (scooped from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Blend in egg, yolk, salt, oil and vanilla.  Blend in flour and cocoa.  Press into prepared pan.  Bake 20 to 22 minutes.  Cool completely.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 6 tbs butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbs unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions – in a saucepan pan, melt butter over low-medium heat.  Remove from heat.  Add chocolate chips and stir smooth.  Blend in remaining ingredients.  Let set 15 to 20 minutes.  Frost cooled bars.  Store in covered container.

Mudslide cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

It is very cold and snowy today, so it seemed like a perfect time to bake. So here are mudslide cookies.

These are a super chocolately chocolate cookie. They use unsweetened and dark chocolate in the base and I tossed in mini chips for good measure. I mean honestly, can you ever have too much chocolate? I think not! These also call for cake flour. If you don’t have it, you can make it yourself. For this recipe you will whisk together 2 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour and 4 1/2 tbs cornstarch.

Remember to spoon your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I also recommend chilling the dough for at least a few hours. And, preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.

  • Ingredients
  • 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (or 9 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped)
  • 8 tbs butter
  • 7 eggs
  • 2 3/4 cups
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 tbs water
  • 2 3/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 tbs (yes, tbs) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

In a microwave safe bowl, microwave butter, unsweetened chocolate and dark chocolate in 45 second increments until you can stir smooth. Set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs, sugar, water and vanilla for 5 to 6 minutes. Add melted chocolate. Stir in dry ingredients. Mix in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper. Stagger cookies on sheet.

This is how I stagger cookies

Bake 14 minutes, no longer. If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar on hot cookies. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
