MFP cookie Swap

Achrya

Alright folks, lets do this. Share your favorite cookie recipe (with pictures please. Cause food porn) and hopefully we can all pick up one or two we'd like to try out!

Note: Will also accept bars, brownies, and basically all baked delights. I'm not picky.


Brownie Whoopie Pies





So. Bare with me. It's been a while. The butter, cream chesse, and powedered suagar on the bottom are the filling. Cream all that stuff together then set aside for later filling.

The cookies themselves. Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Then add eggs/egg like products and vanilla. (I think I was at a lower calorie goal at this stage so I was doing what I could to lighten stuff up)

In separate bowl add together dry stuff. Then slowly add dry to wet, a 1/2 cup at a time. When done you should have something that's like a sticky dough. Make cookies according to the size you'd like (I made 44 pretty decently sized cookies) Bake those suckers at 350 until they're done (Time? Idk. I just wing it) Let those cool, then spread filling on one cookie, top with another cookie. And then shove directly into mouth.

One of my favorite old standbys - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies. Its the best recipe I've ever tried. I found it at this blog
http://canarygirl.com/?p=350

Her photo. I 'm pretty sure mine looked better but I didnt' take any pics


I put this into MFP and got 168 calories per cookie. I used all natural peanut butter cause that's what I had.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375ºF (175ºC).
Line a cookie sheet or two with parchment.
Cream butter and sugars until creamy, then add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Add Peanut butter and continue to beat until combined.
Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine.
Add chips and stir again.
Drop small spoonfuls of dough onto parchment (you should get a dozen per sheet).
Bake 12 minutes or until just golden.
Remove from oven and allow to rest on the sheet 1 minute before removing with a spatula.
Serve with gallons and gallons of milk.


ETA - these are the softer type cookies, not the dryer crunchier style.

MyChocolateDiet

1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 c. baked sweet potato
2 Tablespoons Dark agave
1 egg white beaten to stiff peaks
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Grind sliced almonds in blender until fine.

Mix sweet potato, egg yolk, cinnamon and agave until well blended. Fold in egg whites 1/3 at a time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yie5V37E1w. Fold in ground almonds. Put a ziploc bag over a cup and pour batter in. Cut a tip off and pipe onto buttered baking sheet evenly to make 12 even mounds.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Cool for a few minutes on pan then transfer to a cooling rack.

When cooled they will look and taste like mini muffin tops. They won't be pretty but they will be yummy. Sorry I don't have a pic to upload that's why I include the description. This is a recipe I invented on a whim at Christmastime when I had already made my kid gingerbread TMNT cookies and myself gingerbread cookies filled with cranberry jam and realized it was sad husband's diet did not allow him to eat flour. I remembered previously getting him almond flour based pastries in Solvang and this idea was sussed out from that idea. And meringues. It worked. He kept saying "It tastes like bread?".

Mix-In ideas I have are:

-cranberries
-walnuts
-shredded carrots and raisins
-white chocolate chips. (yes otter, I know it's not really chocolate, but I still love it and don't think milk, or dark would go).

ETA1: So far I have tried none of the mix ins because when he requests them he wants them to come out exactly like the first time.

ETA2: I just realized I didn't put a name on these b/c on the paper I wrote the ingredients on, I never put a name. I just wrote "cookies" on the top in quotes because I didn't feel I could justifiably call them cookies if they had no butter or flour. LOLOLOL.

I use this recipe to make all different kinds of cookies- anything chocolate-chip like- white chocolate macadamia, cinnamon chip, chocolate chunk, whatever. I know a chocolate chip recipe seems boring but if you perfect it you don't need other cookies!

Here's the tricks- double the vanilla and.....this is the big one......cream the butter and sugar until you can't stand doing it any longer. FOR-EV-ER. Proper butter creaming is what makes them turn out perfect texture.

In... so in. I need ideas

Because this darn thing is all I talk about these days:






Directions

Grap your nearest and dearest giant cupcake pan. Paint the cup part of the pan with 400 grams of melted chocolate in thin layers, letting it set for 10 minutes between layers. Once all the layers are done, freeze for 30 minutes.

While that is freezing, make yo' icing. Mix powdered sugar, shortening, whipping cream, and extracts until fluffy. Divide into two parts. Leave half white, because you will never see it. Fancy up the other half with some colors.

Pop your shell out of the pan. Now, cake.

Once your pan is room temp, grease it up with cake release or butter. I didn't add this into the recipe cause, duh, I forgot. Doesn't matter though you're gonna toss some of that cake.

Mix two boxes of your favorite cake mix, 6 eggs, 2/3 vegetable oil, 1 cup of coffee (if using red/chocolate cake - if using white/yellow use 2.5 cups of water), 1.5 cups of water on low for a minute and a half, then 2 minutes on high.

Fill the giant cupcake pan till the molds are almost full.

Bake it on 325 degrees for at least 50 minutes or until you think you've burned it.

Let it cool in the pan 20 minutes, then flip them out. Cool at room temp for 30 more minutes then hide it in the fridge until its cold. So cold.

Then trim your cake. Serious, cut off that burnt crap off and level the bottom of the cupcake top.

Take the trimmed bottom part of the cake and crumble it up in a bowl. Swirl it with half of you white icing till it's creamy and dense.

Press into chocolate shell.

Add a layer of white icing to the cake pressed into the shell and stick the top on.

Crumb coat the top with the remaining white icing.

Swirl on roses with Wilton 1M and/or 2D tip with your colorful icing. Cover up your mistakes with a 30 star tip.

These are to die for!

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-mint-candies-cookies/detail.aspx

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 (4.5 ounce) packages chocolate covered thin mints

Directions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar, butter and water, stirring occasionally until melted. Remove from heat, stir in the chocolate chips until melted and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
2. Pour the chocolate mixture into a large bowl, and beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll cookie dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, be careful not to overbake. When cookies come out of the oven, Press one mint wafer into the top of each cookie and let sit for 1 minute. When the mint is softened, swirl with the back of a spoon or toothpick to make a pattern with the green filling of the mint wafer. For smaller cookies, break mints in half.
