Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars
top-secret recipes

Cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup diced dried cranberries
6 ounces white chocolate, cut into chunks

Frosting:
4-ounces cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup diced dried cranberries

Drizzled Icing:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Make cake by beating butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, ginger, and salt and beat well. Gradually mix in flour until smooth. Mix 3/4 cup diced dried cranberries and white chocolate into the batter by hand. Pour batter into a well-greased 9x13" baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake is light brown on the edges. Allow cake to cool.

Make frosting by combining softened cream cheese, 3 cups powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. When the cake has cooled, use a spatula to spread frosting over the top of the cake.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of diced cranberries over the frosting on the cake.

Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and shortening. Drizzle icing over the cranberries in a sweeping motion or use a pastry bag with a fine tip to drizzle frosting across the top of the cake.

Allow cake to sit for several hours, then slice the cake lengthwise (the long way) through the middle. Slice the cake across the width three times making a total of eight rectangular slices. Slice each of those rectangles diagonally creating 16 triangular slices.

Bar Cookies-Homemade Girl Scout Cookies – Samoas Bars

2011-02-24T15:53:00.000-08:00

Homemade Girl Scout Cookies – Samoas Bars
Source: Baking Bites

Homemade Girl Scout Cookies – Samoas Bars:

Cookie Base:
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

First, make the crust.
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Working at a low speed, gradually beat in flour and salt until mixture is crumbly, like wet sand. The dough does not need to come together. Pour crumbly dough into prepared pan and press into an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until base is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack before topping.

Topping:
3 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
12-oz good-quality chewy caramels
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp milk
10 oz. dark or semisweet chocolate (chocolate chips are ok)

Preheat oven to 300. Spread coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet (preferably one with sides) and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until coconut is golden. Cool on baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave-safe bowl with milk and salt. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the caramel melt. When smooth, fold in toasted coconut with a spatula.
Put dollops of the topping all over the shortbread base. Using the spatula, spread topping into an even layer. Let topping set until cooled.
When cooled, cut into 30 bars with a large knife or a pizza cutter (it’s easy to get it through the topping).
Once bars are cut, melt chocolate in a small bowl. Heat on high in the microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring thoroughly to prevent scorching. Dip the base of each bar into the chocolate and place on a clean piece of parchment or wax paper. Transfer all remaining chocolate (or melt a bit of additional chocolate, if necessary) into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off and drizzle bars with chocolate to finish.
Let chocolate set completely before storing in an airtight container.

Makes 30 bar cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Source: Popular Cookie Recipes

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 large eggs,beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• if desired, 1 cup chopped pecans, or chopped walnuts

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl by hand. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be very stiff.

You can even use a Kitchen Aid mixer for this first step. I use the batter attachment and mix on a lower setting. Just be sure that the dough is well mixed before moving on.

Stir in chocolate chips by hand. You'll need to use a sturdy wooden spoon for this and a bit of muscle. You can add the pecans, or other nuts, at this time if desired. Keep stirring and folding the chocolate chips and nuts into the dough until they are evenly dispersed. (This makes sure you have enough chocolate in each cookie!!)

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. The chocolate chip cookies need to be this far apart because the dough spreads during cooking. No one wants to cut the cookies apart after baking.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. You may even think that the chocolate chip cookies are underdone, but they will finish cooking through out of the oven. If you leave them in too long, the cookies will be tough or crispy. (My kids eat them anyway. I always over cook at least one sheet because of the phone, a child wanting some attention or some other reason)

The centers will be soft. Let cool completely then remove from cookie sheet. I use a flat spatula to remove the cookies from the sheet. It helps to get them off quickly. If you try to remove the cookies while they are still warm, the chocolate chips are still very soft and this can cause a very big mess as well as messy looking cookies.

Cut the Take Out

Source: A Crock Cook

A long hard day at work. You get home and need dinner. Nothing in the fridge, nothing in the cupboard. Take-out again. The wallet just won’t comply much longer.

Re-wind.

A long hard day at work (sorry can’t help with that one). You get home and mmmm, what is that aroma? Dinner! Smells delicious, your mouth is watering.

And no you didn’t go to the wrong home and no you are not dreaming. You arranged all this, in a few minutes this morning.

What I won the lotto and hired a personal chef?

Well no, not exactly – you got a Crock Pot. A Crock Pot? Yep, it’s a cooker that cooks your food over a slow heat. Put it on in the morning and dinner is ready at night.

Don’t think you’ve got time in the morning. Well you will be pleasantly surprised how quick it can be. Chuck in some veggies (frozen or pre-cut if really short on time), throw some meat on top, pour in a sauce, put on the lid and turn it on low. That’s it.

It truly is that easy. And the aroma of dinner when you walk in the door at night, it is sensational – better than any take out.

Oatmeal Cookies:
Source: Joy Of Baking

1 cup (110 grams) walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped (optional)

3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup (210 grams) packed light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup (105 grams) all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 cups (260 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or raisins or 1 cup white or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Oatmeal Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

To toast nuts: Place nuts on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and then chop into pieces.

In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 - 3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in the nuts, oats, and dried cranberries or chocolate chips.

For large cookies, use 1/4 cup of batter (I like to use an ice cream scoop) and space the cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Then wet your hand and flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Bake the cookies for about 12 - 15 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges but still soft and a little wet in the centers. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.

Madeleines Molded Cookies

Madeleines Cookies Recipes Molded Cookies

Ingredients For: Madeleines Cookies Recipes Molded Cookies

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
1-cup (140 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8-teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2/3 cup (133 grams) granulated white sugar
1-teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions For: Madeleines Cookies Recipes Molded Cookies

First, melt the butter and allow it to cool while you make the batter.

In a small bowl place the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until well blended.

In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar at medium-high speed until the mixture has tripled in volume and forms a thick ribbon when the beaters are lifted (about 5 minutes). Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine.

Sift a small amount of flour over the egg mixture and, using a large rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the beaten eggs to lighten it. Sift the rest of the flour over the egg mixture and fold in being sure not to over mix or the batter will deflate.

Whisk a small amount of the egg mixture into the melted butter to lighten it. Then fold in the cooled melted butter in three additions. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or several hours, until slightly firm.

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously butter two 12-mold Madeleine's pans. Dust the molds with flour and tap out the excess. (Could spray pans with Bakers Joy instead.) (Make sure the pans are well greased or the Madelines cookies will stick and be hard to remove.)

Drop a generous tablespoonful of the batter into the center of each prepared mold, leaving the batter mounded in the center. (This will result in the classic "humped" appearance of the Madeleines cookies.)

Bake the Madeleine's cookies for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched. Do not over bake these cookies or they will be dry.

Remove the pans from the oven and rap each pan sharply against a counter top to release the Madeleine's cookies. Transfer the Madeleine's cookies, smooth sides down, to wire racks to cool. The Madeleine's are best served the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or frozen, well wrapped, for up to 1 month.

When serving Madeleines cookies dust with confectioners sugar.

5. Place chocolate morsels in a small heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler, and set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and transfer melted chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain round tip. Pipe chocolate onto the cookie logs. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to 1 week.

Easy Cookie Recipes-Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

2009-02-20T07:48:00.000-08:00

1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) butter, softened
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (I often use a half teaspoon, but I like more salt in my baked goods)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts, if using them.

At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you’re impatient, but I do find that they end up slighly less thick.

The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.

Easy Cookie Recipes-Baked Oatmeal Cookies with Cardamom

2009-02-19T06:13:00.000-08:00

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (use more! use more! you know you want to)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup (8 ounces) dried cherries
1/2 cup (4 ounces) chopped toasted walnuts

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom together and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the bowl and add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat for 5 seconds.

Add half of the flour mixture and mix for 15 seconds. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl, add the oats, and beat until just combined. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the cherries and walnuts.

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for 6 hours. [Note: I skipped this step and you can too; though this'll allow the flour to absorb more liquid and make the cookies that much more flavorful.]

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. [Note: I never do this. Instead, I always use a large ice cream scoop and scoop out perfectly shaped big fat cookies.

Easy Cookie Recipes-Tortona chocolate cookies

2009-02-12T06:17:00.000-08:00

Total time: 35 minutes, plus chilling and cooling time for the dough

Servings: 2 dozen cookies

Note: Adapted from chef Elena Guerrero-Berman of Massimo's Delectables. Be careful not to grind the nuts to a fine powder or flour; the nuts should have some texture (you will see small bits in the cookies when they are baked). A food processor will work best for grinding the nuts.

2 cups (4 sticks) butter, softened

2 cups sugar

1 cup ground hazelnuts

1 cup ground almonds

1 tablespoon vanilla

4 cups pastry flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the butter with sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl periodically.

2. Gently fold the ground hazelnuts into the butter mixture until evenly combined, then fold in the ground almonds thoroughly.

3. Stir in the vanilla. Gently add the flour, 1 cup at a time, until thoroughly mixed. Slowly add the cocoa until combined. The dough will be very thick at this point, and you should easily be able to roll a small amount into a ball.

4. Shape the dough into a flat disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough at least two hours, but preferably overnight.

5. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Roll the dough to one-half-inch thickness between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap (this keeps the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and alleviates the need for flouring). Cut hearts or other-shaped cookies approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter, and place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies until puffed slightly and set on top, about 15 minutes. Rotate the cookies halfway through for even heating and coloring.

6. Remove the cookies, still on their sheets, to a rack to cool completely before serving (they're fragile just out of the oven and will crumble if moved while still warm).

Each cookie: 317 calories; 4 grams protein; 35 grams carbohydrates; 5 grams fiber; 20 grams fat; 10 grams saturated fat; 40 mg. cholesterol; 3 mg. sodium.

Diabetic Cookies

2009-01-03T10:34:00.000-08:00

I am in search of some good diabetic cookie recipes, not just recipes that say no sugar added because i don't consider them to be real diabetic cookie recipes, I am talking about recipes that do not contain any sugar, recipes without white flour but instead spelt flour and so on.
All natural sugars are OK most diabetics can tolerate natural sugars, natural sugars in my experiances don't seem to have a real impact on blood sugar, now I am not saying that this doesn't effect everyone because every person is different so when we eat different products it is basically trial and error the first time around.
So I appeal to you who are diabetics, enjoying your favorite diabetic cookie recipes
please share them with others, post them on this blog or send them to me and I'll post them for you. Lets share and the world will be a better place.

Behind The Popularity Of The Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

2006-10-13T08:50:00.000-07:00

The oatmeal raisin cookie is the icon of the Baby Boom generation, especially those who came of age in the '60s, when the previously alien concept of health food began to infiltrate the public consciousness. People started looking for ways to add fiber and grains into their diets, and the idea that a cookie could help with that was an almost irresistible lure.

And unlike many health claims that came out of the original health food craze, this one actually has some facts to back it up. There were dozens of foods that were touted as being good for everything from your heart to your charkas, the mystical energy centers of the body, and over time most of them have been either disproved or at least damped down. Such crazes continue to today, although they are more likely to be sparked over a new drug or herbal tablet that has a higher profit potential than over something anyone can make at home.

What To Look For In A No-Bake Cookie Recipe

2006-10-06T12:03:00.000-07:00

When it comes to cookie recipes, there are certain "must have" ingredients that make the whole thing possible. You've got a binder of some sort, usually flour, that holds the assemblage together. You've got a fat of some sort, that adds moistness and flavor and helps in the browning and cooking. There will usually be a leavening agent, to make the cookie puff up and look right and eat properly. And, of course, you'll have a flavoring of some sort, running the gamut from peanut butter and chocolate chips to more exotic things like anise or poppy seed. The no bake cookie recipe has some of these, but not all.

First off, very few of the ingredients will be in raw form. Thus, you'll have no raw eggs, very little flour and no leavening agents. Since these cookies will not be baked, eggs would simply make the no bake cookies dangerous, and leavening agents wouldn't have the heat they need to work properly.

You may find other cookies or baked goods actually used as flour would be used in a regular cookie recipe. For instance, vanilla wafer cookies, ground or chopped, are often used as the binder for shaped items like baseball cookies.

Even if cookies are not used to make the cookies, some form of finished product will usually find its way into the recipe. Take haystack cookies, that perennial holiday cookie basket favorite, which use chow mein noodles to form the haystack shape and bind together the peanut butter and butterscotch or chocolate. Graham crackers, with their fairly light flavor and sweet finish, are often used. Some recipes even use powdered sugar as "flour," which makes sense from a structural standpoint.

One thing you'll almost never find is a "lightly sweet" no bake cookie recipe. Almost all of them are very heavy on the sugar, honey, peanut butter, chocolate or other sweet source. Without the subtle chemical reactions of baking, the sugar has to carry the day.

How To Find A No-Bake Cookie Recipe

2006-10-03T07:08:00.000-07:00

One of the most popular recipes around, the no-bake cookie recipe is one that just about everyone has sought out at least once. The problem is that the search can be confusing, full of unnecessary information and blind leads.

While just about all general purpose cookbooks contain their fair share of cookie recipes, with all the favorites like chocolate chip, peanut butter and sugar cookies. But the no-bake cookie is an odd duck, and frequently doesn't make the cut when editors decide what to include in their offerings.

Oddly enough, because of the relative simplicity of the recipes, and the fact that no hot ovens or other dangerous utensils are generally involved, one of the best sources for no bake recipes are children's cookbooks; that is cookbooks designed either for kids directly or for parents teaching little ones their way around the kitchen.

Of course, finding kids' cookbooks can be a challenge in and of itself. Often times, bookstores don't file them with the regular cookbooks, not considering them proper culinary literature. They're more often found with the children's books, alongside Dora the Explorer, Clifford, Bob the Builder and Dr. Seuss. They often have a theme, such as Halloween or Christmas recipes, or are built around one of the more popular kids TV characters.

The advantage to these cookbooks for kids is that the recipes are usually very well tested. No publisher wants an army of ticked off parents beating on their doors (or their mailboxes) complaining that Little Johnny tried to make their cookies and the recipe failed. In fact, they'll often be so simple as to be nearly error-proof.

You may be a little bit appalled the first time you read one of the recipes at the simplicity, but if you mix your culinary know-how with the framework provided by one of no bake recipes, you'll start to "cook" up your own variations. Who knows? You might be the first person to write a no-bake cookie recipe cookbook for adults!

The hunt for free online recipes is one we've all been on at one time or another. With so much content on the Internet, it just makes sense to look for what you need online, rather than going the old route of buying a cookbook.

And there is a ton of material out there! The "big three" recipe sites alone, AllRecipes, Cooking.com and Cooks.com, contain more aggregated recipes than a whole library of cookbooks rolled together. While some of their content is only available by subscription, and they are pretty heavy on the ads and on product promotions, they're a good backstop for your quick recipe searches.
