  8. Chocolate Chip Cookies

    INGREDIENTS:

    1 cup butter, softened

    3/4 cup packed brown sugar

    1/4 cup white sugar

    1 (3.5 ounce) package instant

    vanilla pudding mix

    2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

    1 teaspoon baking soda

    2 cups semisweet chocolate

    chips

    3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

    chocolate marbled meringues

    2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

    2 large egg whites- at room temp.

    1/8 tsp. cream of tartar

    ½ cup superfine sugar

    ½ tsp. vanilla extract

    1 ½ tsp. cornstarch

    1 bag mint chocolate chips

    1. Preheat oven to 200°. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 25 seconds; stir, and then microwave for another 20 seconds.

    2. In a glass bowl beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, Continue to beat on medium high speed until the mixture forms peaks. Slowly add the sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, waiting at least 10 seconds between additions, gradually increasing the speed to high. Add the vanilla and beat for another 3 minutes, or until stiff. Sift the cornstarch over the mixture, and gently fold in using a spatula.

    3. Transfer the meringue to a bowl. Using a spatula, heavily drizzle parallel lines of the melted chocolate over the surface of the meringue. Using a 1 inch ice cream scoop scrape across the surface of the mixture, crosswise to the drizzled lines, to get a rounded mound of striped meringue.

    4. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave them in until the oven is completely cooled.


  9. If you love chocolate, you must try these double fudge chocolate cookies.

    12 oz semisweet chocolate-chopped

    2 cups flour

    3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

    1/4 tsp salt

    1 tsp baking soda

    1 cup butter, softened

    1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar

    3 large eggs, at room temperature

    2 tsp vanilla

    topping:

    4 oz of white or dark chocolate, melted

    1 tsp vegetable oil

    Melt together the first amount of chocolate (the 12 oz semi sweet) over low heat. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a fork. Set aside.

    In a seperate bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar and continue to mix well. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition, remembering to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl. Add vanilla and melted chocolate, mix until combined. Then add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix with the electric mixer until just combined. Drop by tablespoons on an ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. I tend to press my cookie dough down just slighly with the palm of my hand to flatten a tiny bit.

    Bake at 300 F for approximately 20-22 minutes. These cookies may not look like they are done, but they are pretty soft. I test them with my finger to make sure that they are just set when I take them out.

    Now for the fun part. Once cooled, you can top them with a drizzle of white or dark chocolate (or both!). Melt the 4 oz of chocolate, and combine with the vegetable oil. Sometimes I have also added a sprinkle of crushed candy cane after I've drizzled over the cookies.

    Yummmmmmmy.
