This is the cookie recipe I have been waiting for. I knew it was out there, but I hadn’t had a double chocolate chip cookie since the days of the middle school snack bar. It’s a dangerously easy recipe that you can throw together before any party, picnic, or potluck. I am currently wondering if I will ever make another cookie or brownie recipe again, since these little babies are the best of both worlds.

Recipe
Double Chocolate Cookies
Adapted from Trisha Yearwood
Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
6 ounces chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark are all good choices)
6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix to combine. Add the vanilla and mix. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix. Add the white and chocolate chips; mix until just combined. Fold in the nuts, if using.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets. Bake, rotating the sheets once halfway through, until the cookies are set, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Let’s talk scones. Out of the bajillion recipes out there, I have found the only one I will ever need. Actually, my Aunt Tricia found it, has made it countless times, and will continue to make it because these scones are just that good. I’ve never been a fan of the coffee house scone that’s dry and could practically be used as a hockey puck. To me, scones are meant to be adorned with butter and jam, like the Fisher Fair Scones so many people in the Seattle area grew up with. Continue reading →

Blonde Brownie Day, blondies, butter, Macadamia Nuts, maple, vanilla ice cream, white chocolate

Ok, so today is National Blonde Brownie Day!

White Chocolate Blondie with Warm Maple Butter Sauce

I know just yesterday was Granola Bar Day and now suddenly it’s Blonde Brownie day and you probably officially think I’m crazy and I probably am but I just REALLY have always wanted to give the below recipe a shot…and finally I had my excuse to execute it.

White Chocolate Blondies

In high school, we found ourselves at a certain chain restaurant a lot. Like, there wasn’t as much back in our town then, and for some reason we always went to this “neighborhood” establishment because I was too busy being a teenager to really worry about where we were going, we just needed a place to “hang out.” Remember those days? Yikes. I wish I could quietly be at another table and watch my teenage self with my semi-responsible adult eyes that I have now. Or maybe I don’t. Anyways…

White Chocolate Blondie with Warm Maple Butter Sauce

They had this dessert – I think then it was just called the “White Chocolate Blondie” but it came out in a sizzling hot skillet – and it was a blondie with a big scoop of ice cream on top and this ridiculous maple sauce. It was hot/cold, and it was the best flavor explosion my teen self had ever tasted. It was the one thing from that place that I loved to eat. Back then, I never thought about creating it at home. Over the last few years, I have told myself that this magical dessert would be recreated in my kitchen. I knew it probably wouldn’t be too hard.

Naughty Biscotti

Naughty Biscotti

I never really buy biscotti when I’m out at a coffee shop. Usually I’m not super excited about baked goods that are OVERBAKED (in this case, baked twice). Buuuut I think anyone who has ever DIPPED their biscotti into coffee or milk can agree: it’s amazing.

Naughty Biscotti

The rough translation for biscotti is a twice-baked cookie. But it just so happens to be baked in a way you can perfectly dip it! No nonsense with round cookies that don’t fit into your mug…these were made to be dunked.

Naughty Biscotti

It was on a whim that I took a stab at making biscotti. My friend Erin was visiting for the weekend and I wanted to have something good on hand for morning coffee. I knew we’d probably go to a ridiculous brunch in Portland somewhere, so I didn’t want to do anything crazy, just a lil somethin’ somethin’. The cookbooks I had laying around had some enticing recipes, some being actually somewhat HEALTHY (no butter or chocolate!) but I saw these and my mind went directly to NAUGHTY BISCOTTI. When one of your BFF’s comes to visit, you are going to want naughty, not nice, biscotti.

Naughty Biscotti

Results: really easy, REALLY good! The best part is, when you are at home, you can DUNK to your heart’s desire. You don’t have to worry about weird side glances from randos at your extreme dunking obsession. And you get to keep your jammies on. PLUS! Biscotti’s are great gifts, AND they last longer than soft underbaked cookies! It’s a win all around.

Naughty Biscotti

Recipe
Naughty Biscotti
adapted from The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook
Makes about 24 biscotti

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl. Beat in eggs until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour. Stir in white baking pieces and chocolate pieces.

2. Divide dough in half. Shape into two 9 inch long loaves. Place loaves on prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly until about 2 inches wide.

3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near centeres comes out clean. Cool on cookie sheet for at least 1 hour. (You can also wrap the loaves in plastic wrap and let them stand overnight at room temperature).

4. Preheat oven to 325F. Use a serrated knife to cut each loaf diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Turn cookies over; bake for 7 to 9 minutes more or until crisp and dry. Cool, and store in an airtight container. Dip in milk or hot coffee.

4th of July, butter, coconut, crisped rice, marshmallows, rice krispies, sprinkles, white chocolate

Rice Krispies are pretty darn American, and pretty darn tasty. It is so easy to fancy them up a bit with different flavors – chocolate butterscotch, chocolate mint, peanut butter…but I never tried coconut OR white chocolate until today. And…YUM.

Recipe
White Chocolate Coconut Krispies

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 package (10 oz.) regular marshmallows, OR 4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups crisped rice cereal
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • red and blue sprinkles for 4th of July! (optional)

Add butter and marshmallows to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 90 seconds, remove from microwave and stir. Microwave for another minute if necessary.

Slowly add crisped rice cereal, about 2 cups at a time. Stir. Add shredded coconut and white chocolate chips, stir until combined.

Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for about an hour. Cut into squares.

Happy 4th!

4th of July, sprinkles, strawberries, white chocolate

The 4th of July will always remind me of being a kid. When the 4th came around you knew it was officially summer. Games all day, potlucks abound, sparklers, Pop-Its, and fireworks at night. Those were the days.

And who doesn’t love all of the fun 4th of July recipes? So much to do with red, white, and blue! I am not sure what people would do on the 4th without strawberries and blueberries. I am having a very boring, adult 4th of July this year, but it didn’t stop me from making some fun white-chocolate dipped strawberries with blue sprinkles. Festive, cute, and tasty!
